A little about myself — My name is Amanda (it’s also my legal name alongside my Burmese) I’m a Design&Tech student at Parsons; I took a gap year before I got to New York and spent the year doing community service by teaching English to underprivileged/orphaned kids in Burma, along with several law internships (big leap between left&right brain). Over the years I’ve found that not only do I get along with children, I’m also the floofy-lucid-dreamy person among my friends haha. I like to think I’m very easygoing and fun to be around and I’m very good with playing along the lines of silly & stern. I spend most of my time with kids (if we’re indoors) talking to them, asking many many questions, and always making them feel like their voices are heard as a person and not just as a child, but of course I’ve also always been a sporty person so we usually go on adventures around the city and play sports!! I love drawing from these experiences and using them in my creative conceptual work as well. I’m also a HUGE reader, and it’s part of the package that you may lose your children to the harry potter cult. P.S. Once I dropped a bowl of fudge in front of a kid, and I said, “Oh fudge” which shows that I am child appropriate AND have a sense of humor.

Booked by 111 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hello! My name is Maura, I am 28 years old and have used this app for almost 10 years! I went to Pratt and got a painting degree so if your kid likes arts and crafts we will get along just fine! I'm gentle, smiley, fun and responsible. I've watched up to 4 kids at a time, and also have taught art classes to groups of up to 25 kids. I was also a Resident Advisor at Pratt, so let's just say I've seen it all! I now would like to spend as much free time as I have meeting and helping out lovely families while pursuing my artistic career 🎨 Feel free to message me with any questions 🙃

“Maura is a treat! She took wonderful care of my (extremely) needy cat, sending photos and checking in with me often. He loved her :) Will absolutely ask her to cat sit again.”

Booked by 70 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hello! My name is Katryna, and I’m a preschool teacher, musician, and experienced childcare provider based in NYC. I currently teach at a family learning and social club in Tribeca, and I’m looking for part-time or occasional childcare work to supplement my teaching schedule. I’m a graduate of The Institute of American Musical Theatre and have been working with children for 10 years through teaching, babysitting, and performing arts education. I’ve taught music, theatre, martial arts, and creative programming to children ages 2–12, in addition to my infant babysitting experience and I’m CPR/First Aid and EpiPen trained. Growing up in a military family with younger siblings taught me early on how important it is for kids to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I bring that same warmth and respect to the children I work with, whether we’re making music, getting creative, or just hanging out at home. :)

"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)."
