Hi! I'm a 22-year-old college student from Queens, New York with a passion for working with kids. I naturally connect with children and love creating fun, engaging experiences for them! I originally studied Early Childhood Education to become a first-grade teacher, but I'm now exploring a career in pediatric nursing because I truly enjoy caring for children. I have hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings who are now middle schoolers. Dealing with them has taught me patience, responsibility, and creativity in keeping kids entertained and happy. What I Offer: 1. Fun and engaging activities 2. Homework help 3. Safe and responsible care 4. A warm, bubbly personality that kids love 5. Experience with both cats and dogs (super pet-friendly!)

Tamiyah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tamiyah, I am a loving, patient, and dependable childcare provider with over 5+ years of professional experience working with children of various ages. I previously worked as an Afterschool Teacher at Apex Learning Center, where I supported elementary-aged students with homework assistance, structured activities, classroom management, and social-emotional development. In this role, I learned how to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel encouraged, supported, and confident. In addition to my experience with school-aged children, I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle guidance during early developmental stages. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and emotional growth while always prioritizing safety. I also worked as a caregiver at Mount Vernon Towers, where I assisted senior residents with daily living activities and companionship. This experience strengthened my nurturing nature, attentiveness, and ability to provide personalized care with empathy and respect. Working with seniors has enhanced my patience and my ability to remain calm and supportive in all situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am experienced in multitasking, maintaining routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and caring for pets as well. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once and adapting to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. Families describe me as gentle, trustworthy, responsible, and attentive. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can thrive, feel secure, and have fun. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, compassionate care.

Hiiii! Im a college student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience babysitting kids from 3months to 11 years old, tutoring after school. And I’m ALSO CPR certified. A day babysitting with me : I like to keep things fun while still following the family’s routine. We might start with a snack and some homework, then switch it up with arts and crafts, games, a movie, playing outside, or exploring something new( definitely excited about this). I’m big on letting kids have fun while still making sure they feel comfortable, heard, and safe. Before the parents come home, I’ll make sure everything is cleaned up and the kids are settled into whatever routine they normally have. I like to actively keep the kids busy and myself, so their interests are very important to me. Parents are updated every few hours and occasional check in when it’s my day off. Having open communication is my biggest priority. I’d describe myself as kind, outgoing, easy to talk to for the most part lol and someone who always tries to bring positive energy wherever I go. I’ve always believed the best jobs are the ones where people are genuinely happy to see you walk through the door. I want to be the sitter kids get excited about and the person parents can trust without worrying. As I’ll be moving away from my own family to start college, I know how important it is to have people around you who make you feel safe, supported, and cared for. I hope I can be that person for the families I experience New York with while building a foundation for connections. I’m currently available for after-school care, date nights, and completely available on the weekends!!! I can adjust as needed and do very early mornings but it’ll be tedious. Face time call or in person meet before official start day!!! Feel free to reach out and ask me questions and for references.

"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."

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)."
