Kristen Brooklyn
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kristen, and I would describe myself as caring, kind, and loving. I truly enjoy working with children and teens because of how genuine, creative, and full of potential they are. Growing up, I often cared for my nephews and nieces, and when my mom had my younger sister, I naturally stepped into a “second mom” role. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the ability to connect with children of different ages. I hold a college degree and I am CPR certified, which I believe provides an added sense of trust and security for families. Over the years, I have gained experience in babysitting, tutoring, and companion care, as well as pet sitting and light household support. I am also bilingual (English/Spanish), which I find to be a great advantage when helping children with language learning or schoolwork. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, going to the park, listening to music, trying new things, and going on little adventures. I am dependable, organized, and respectful, and one thing you should know about me is that I will care for your children as if they were my own. I am excited about the opportunity to become part of your family and to share not only my support and skills but also my warmth and dedication. I look forward to the chance to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children while learning from your culture and sharing mine.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 143 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hello Families, My name is Angela, and I am from Colombia. I am graduate student in Public Health. I have been caring for children for the past 18 years. I am CPR/First Aid certified and possess a California driver's license. I am current on all my vaccines. I am also a certified Postpartum Doula with over 13 years of experience. My philosophy is to support the baby, the mom, and the family in creating a balanced and loving environment. I am highly dedicated to my work and take it seriously. I enjoy activities such as engaging in art projects, visiting parks, museums, and zoos, going for walks, and baking with children. I appreciate parents who provide clear instructions for their children's routines, set boundaries, and communicate effectively. One preference I have is that children usually stay away from screens while with me, except on weekends, although I respect if parents prefer otherwise. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!

Absolutely wonderful!!!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
