Carolyn $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Howard Beach, NY

Hello! My name is Carolyn and I'm a multidisciplinary artist, arts educator, and babysitter based in Brooklyn. My background encompasses creative direction, childcare, and community programming. My passion for nurturing young minds through creativity and play has grown through my work in artist residencies, where I regularly taught children’s evening art classes — designing hands-on projects that encouraged curiosity, confidence, and self-expression. I’m passionate about getting children off of screens and using their hands. I bring warmth, patience, and emotional intelligence to my childcare approach, creating safe, engaging environments where children can explore their imagination while developing important skills. My goal is to build meaningful, long-term relationships with families as a trusted caretaker, mentor, and creative guide. Experience age-wise ranges from children 6 months-10 years old. References available upon request.

"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)."
