Hi! My name is Lakeya. I am currently in school for Early Childhood Education. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I am also certified as a Newborn Care Specialist. I have my Certificate in Child Development. I strongly believe in open communication in order to avoid any problems & keep things going smoothly. If there is ever any kind of problem, I will feel comfortable to discuss it right away & I would love for the family to do the same. I have a very loving & nurturing character. I have a genuine and absolute love for children. Working with children is one thing that I absolutely love about my life. My main focus are your children. I do housekeeping, prepare meals, do laundry & anything related to taking care of your children. I enjoy being active & imaginative with kids. I love every thing from arts&crafts to dress up to museum trips & playing make believe. I engage with them by taking them to the park, museum, zoo, botanical garden, creating an art project, or reading a colorful book. I understand that each child is different & it is all about finding what works on an individual basis. I love being a part of helping children learn & grow. Interacting with kids in all activities is what I do best. Whether it's work time or play time, I am there & ready to be a part of it. I am fun-loving, reliable, enthusiastic, & compassionate. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, cooking, and reading. I am available to start immediately. I'm also available to work on the weekends, on-call, date nights, overnight, holidays, and vacations. I am also available on short notice and overtime. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I would be happy to provide references as well as meet in person or chat on the phone. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! I wish you the best of luck with your search.

Lakeya was wonderful with our daughter and we could not recommend her more!

Hi! My name is Akillah! I am a vocalist and artist. I've been in New York on and off for over 9 years. I was previously a Playdate Manager at Project Playdate and I have worked with dozens of families throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. If hired, there is sure to be plenty of exploring, and creating and there will definitely be lots and lots of singing. I am also very active and know the basics of most sports (I can and will keep up!). My goal as a sitter is to assist parents by providing a safe and loving environment for their children to give them peace of mind from day to day. I give priority to families who are tolerant and great communicators! I provide sliding-scale services based on needs on a case-by-case basis.

Great communication and my 7 month old baby seemed to really like Akillah!

I like participating in outdoor activities and taking long walks at the park. I love the site of a child smiling. I have experience with children from the age of 3 weeks and above. I'm able to multitask and have no problem feeding, bathing, changing, and going to doctor's appointments. In addition to that I'm able to deal with fevers and caring for an ill child. My experience with children at a very young age. I've worked in a day care and have been able to gain so much patience and understanding of a child's needs and dealing with a noisy environment and the ability to settle things ****policies***** Any cancellations less then 48 hours will be charged a 75% off of the hours booked, including if the job has already started I book my schedule 2-3 weeks in advance And I expect to be paid for the entire booking

Excellent service

Hi! I am Heloísa, nice to meet you I am dedicated to my work and give one hundred percent to everything I do. I have been working with children since I was fifteen years old and have extensive experience in the field. Taking care of a child is much more than just a job, but rather a learning experience aimed at always building a bond of trust and care with the family and the child. I also offer other services such as cleaning/organizing and pet care. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to my profile!

We were very impressed by Heloisa and will certainly work with her again

"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
