Booked by 1 family in Howard Beach, NY

Hi - my name is Sylvana and I just graduated from Williams College. I offer childcare, senior care, and household services. I love helping out with kids, and have been babysitting since I was in the eighth grade. I grew up in New York, so I’m very familiar with babysitting in the big city! I am also an experienced academic tutor, and am happy to assist in homework help and other miscellaneous tasks. I am able to run errands for the household, or assist in cooking or cleaning. I am also experienced in caretaking roles, and would be happy to help out with senior tasks— I am able to cook and clean, and am always happy to chat. I have experience working with smaller dogs, and am glad to help out with cats or other pets.

Gabrielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Gabrielle but I prefer being called Gabby. and I’m currently a 3rd year at Guttman Community College. I am looking forward to working with children in child care. I love babysitting because it rewards fun ways to spend time with children and build a positive relationship and see them learn and grow. I also enjoy experiencing the world through a child’s curiosity that allows me to interact and socialize who they are. My experience in babysitting are meal/snacks preparation, assisting homework and activities, diaper changing/bathing, ensuring a safe environment for children and definitely communicating with their parent/guardian about the child’s progress how they are doing. I have worked in childcare for about 3+ years at a afterschool program for quite some time when was about 14-15 years old since 2018 is when I first started working with children in different schools but outside of that I have taken care of my 6 siblings throughout my childhood. I am willing to work with families who have pets!

"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)."
