My name is Marie and I live in New York City. I am an experienced and dependable childcare provider with over 4 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have a Master’s degree in Public Health, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, health, and wellbeing. I previously worked as a daycare assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting young children. My responsibilities included changing diapers, feeding, preparing and washing bottles, helping with nap time, leading circle time, reading books, organizing age-appropriate activities, assisting with schoolwork, preparing snacks, and safely accompanying children to and from school. I truly enjoy working with children and being part of their growth and development. I love creating a safe and encouraging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I am focused, patient, versatile, caring, and dependable. Outside of childcare, I love going to museums, music concerts and reading books. I also speak French and English.

Marie has been very helpful and reliable for us in taking care of a lot of chores around the house regularly!

Hello, my name is Denise! I am 27 years old, a proud mom to a wonderful 7-year-old, and a dedicated childcare professional with a true passion for working with children. I am currently offering babysitting services and additional family support during my free time. I work full-time as a Pre-K teacher and have over four years of experience teaching toddlers. In addition, I have cared for children ranging in age from 5 months to 14 years old. My professional background has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children can learn and thrive. I earned my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Borough of Manhattan Community College, and I will begin pursuing my Master’s Degree in May 2027 in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am committed to continuing my education so I can provide the best care and support possible for children and families. I am a very active, enthusiastic, and energetic person who can easily match the energy of your child while keeping them engaged in positive activities. I enjoy reading books, making arts & crafts, playing board games, practicing flashcards, and going to the park (with parent permission). I believe childcare should be both fun and enriching. I am fully vaccinated, dependable, and happy to provide references upon request. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message with any questions I would be more than happy to speak with you. Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

I am a compassionate, dedicated, and adaptable caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for babies, pets, and seniors. Growing up in a large family, I began babysitting my cousins as early as high school, which gave me a deep understanding of the responsibility and patience required to care for young children. Additionally, being raised by my grandparents taught me firsthand the joys and challenges of caring for seniors, shaping my empathetic and respectful approach. These personal experiences, combined with my professional dedication, make me a trustworthy and skilled caregiver. From a young age, I embraced the responsibility of looking after children in my extended family. Babysitting my cousins while still in high school taught me not only how to manage their needs but also how to create a nurturing and safe environment. These early experiences instilled in me a natural affinity for caring for babies, which has only grown over the years. As someone who understands the special bond between humans and animals, I am deeply committed to providing attentive and loving care for pets. My flexible work schedule and remote lifestyle enable me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. What sets me apart as a caregiver is the foundation of family values that shaped my lifeGrowing up in a large family and being surrounded by different generations taught me to appreciate the beauty of caregiving at every stage of life. Whether it was babysitting my younger cousins or helping my grandparents with daily tasks, I learned early on the importance of patience, empathy, and responsibility. These experiences not only prepared me to care for others but also gave me a genuine passion for helping families, pets, and seniors thrive. Caregiving is more than just a role for me—it is a way of life shaped by my upbringing and personal values. I bring a wealth of experience, unwavering dedication, and a warm, nurturing approach to every caregiving situation. By choosing me, you’re not just hiring a caregiver—you’re inviting someone into your family who will treat your loved ones with the same love, respect, and attentiveness I’ve offered my own family throughout my life. Whether it’s a baby’s laughter, a pet’s wagging tail, or a senior’s smile, I am committed to creating moments of joy and comfort for those in my care.

Amazing dog sitter! So great with dogs and goes above and beyond to help out.

"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)."
