Booked by 3 families in Forest Hills, NY

My name Is Alissah . I am a nursing student, currently finishing my BSN. I speak English and French. Some major personality traits that I have are that I am a good listener, I love to make people laugh, I love hosting play dates and expanding my creativity through arts and crafts. I love to sing, paint and read. As a nursing student I have gained some skills such as organization, observation, communication. One of the great trait that I have is patience as I have gotten to deal with kids of all ages in the hospital and tend to their needs. I would love to continue being a caregiver to kids because I can bring those skills and personality traits to light by helping them expand their creativity, provide them with an energetic and fun environment, and tends to their needs. I place a high value on relationships, whether they be with my family, friends, or coworkers. The most satisfying aspect of my work is knowing that I've had a beneficial influence in addition to developing a relationship with the children.

“I will be hiring Alissah again and again! She did so well with my 17-month old son and she was so very worth it. She has a great energy about her from the moment she came in! ”

Booked by 4 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hello!! My name is Kelis and I’m an active 20-year-old! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as an after-school counselor, where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now, and it has trained me to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and enjoy seeing children have fun and make new memories. I’m currently in college studying sociology with hopes of becoming a social worker in the child care sector. I’m looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and, of course, have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museums would have to be the Museum of Ice Cream and the American Museum of Natural History. I’m currently saving to one day visit Japan, it’s the #1 thing on my bucket list! Outside of childcare, I’m also a signed model! While modeling has been an exciting experience and creative outlet for me, working with children has always been my true passion and the career path I’m most dedicated to pursuing. I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with families while gaining even more experience doing what I love most!

“Kelis was professional, on time, communicated timely, and was easy to work with. She came prepared to entertain our kids and kept them safe. Our kids had a wonderful time with her!”

I am a 37 year old Brooklyn native, who obtained my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have an Associates Degree from Kingsborough Community College also in Early Childhood Education. I’ve taught 3rd grade and worked with children in daycare as well as preschool settings. I am the eldest of five children. My sibling's age range from 15, 19, 20, 26. I have experience with special needs children for my sister, age 19, has mild cerebral palsy. My family owns a daycare which is where I have gained most of my experience. My experience with after school aged children involved providing help with homework and snack preparation. My speciality is working with children who have lots of energy. I enjoy being involved in activities such as: story time, arts and crafts, cooking activities, and play time which fosters one on one communication and developmental growth. I am a very organized, punctual, positive, and hard working individual. Working with children is my passion!

“Odessa is extremely warm and patient. My three year old loved her and instantly had a connection with her. Our 10-month old also bonded with her from the first day. She was very communicative and the kids had a great time with her. My business trip to NYC with the kids is going very smoothly because of her. I would highly highly recommend hiring her to take care of your kids!”

"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."

"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)."
