Carlye $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a kind, creative, and thoughtful caregiver who enjoys the company of children of all ages. I am happy to help with household tasks or errands. I am the 2nd of 4 kids, and grew up with many younger cousins, and over the recent years I have helped friends as they’ve started their own families. As a professional in NYC for 10+ years, I am taking a corporate sabbatical but would like to maintain some routine and also enjoy and meet my community in Park Slope.

Mama Rokia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rokia! I am 19 years old and an upcoming junior in college studying Public Health to become a midwife! My previous babysitting roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives and to support families in any way I can. I have 5 years of experience caring for children, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I care for a wide range of age groups starting from infants to school-age. I am comfortable caring for up to three children and enjoy engaging them with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable doing overnights, occasional babysitting for date nights, lending extra hand if you need to get work done, or if you just need some solo time! Feel free to message with any inquiries!

"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)."
