Adys Iderlaynys $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate, dependable, and patient caregiver who has been caring for children for most of my life\. I have helped care for my niece and nephew during family vacations in Florida, my four younger cousins in the Dominican Republic during the pandemic, and the children of close family friends as a nanny\. These experiences have taught me how to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment for children of different ages\. I also have professional experience as a Direct Support Professional \(DSP\), where I cared for children with physical and developmental disabilities\. This role strengthened my patience, communication, and problem\-solving skills while teaching me how to provide individualized care based on each child’s unique needs\. In addition to childcare, I cared for my mother after her knee reconstructive surgery, assisting with daily activities, meal preparation, medication reminders, and emotional support throughout her recovery\. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and can help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping the home organized\. Families can count on me to be responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing safe, compassionate, and dependable care for their loved ones.

Mikaela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mikaela, and I’m originally from New York. I’ve been living in the city for the past eight years and have several years of hands-on experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 12. From the age of 17 to 21, I worked full-time as a babysitter for a pair of twin girls. My responsibilities included everything from after-school pick-up and homework help to preparing dinner and getting them to their after-school activities. I’ve always loved working with kids, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of their growth and to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I bring a calm, positive attitude to every family I work with. I’d be a great fit for any babysitting job and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can.

"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)."
