Zoe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Zoe and I am a 23 year old graduate from UC Santa Barbara who recently moved to Brooklyn. I offer childcare (all ages), pet care, tutoring and other household help! I love working with kids because their curiosity and silliness is contagious, especially when I can introduce them to the crafts and games I grew up on! I have been working with kids of all ages (newborn - teens) since 2018. I have 5 years of experience working at a sleep away summer camp as a counselor, arts and crafts specialist and supervisor. I most recently worked as the Supervisor of Children’s Services at a Domestic Violence shelter, where I managed a daycare and afterschool programs for 80+ kids. I love playing games, leading arts and crafts, helping with homework and taking kids outside! Additionally, I can cook, clean, take care of pets, or help with whatever else you may need! I am CPR trained and am a Wilderness First Responder, which prepares me to respond to emergency situations. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would love to help in anyway 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)."
