Jane $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Jane! I’m 19 and go to Bryn Mawr College in PA. I live in park slope and am interested in occasional jobs anywhere in the city when I am home from school. My experience taking care of children is extensive. I have a younger brother as well as four younger cousins who I’ve babysat since I was 12. Additionally, I was an avid babysitter for families at my K-12 school in Manhattan. I had weekly jobs with four families, children ages 4-13, providing general care and fun, facilitating homework, preparing meals, and getting the kids to bed on time. I have also worked as a camp counselor in Massachusetts, South Dakota, and Chile, which has allowed me to connect with many different children with different backgrounds, expanding my ability to be a good caretaker. I am offering child care as well as household services. I can cook, navigate the city well with children, and do other tasks as needed. Happy to work with families with cats or dogs! Please reach out for more information :)

Hi there! I am a mom to a 3 year old boy looking to help you with your babysitting needs. In terms of experience, I have discovered my love of caring for children with my own son, and I have also previously fostered a dog several years ago. Would be happy to facilitate drop off / pickup from daycare, preschool, or school with your child(ren) safe & secure in my 4-seater, 5-point-harness wonderfold wagon (with rain cover). I hold a BA in English Literature and would also love to read with your child. Happy to cook/clean or do errands if you need. Note: My 3 year old would only join us if you need help evenings, weekends, or on days when his preschool is closed.

"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."

"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)."
