Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Jamaica, NY

Hello, I’m Nicole! I’m a warm, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with over 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. My background in childcare and child development has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, engaging, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. As a former Girl Scout from Daisy through Cadette, I developed strong values around leadership, responsibility, and dependability from an early age. I have experience supervising children throughout the day, managing routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, organizing fun age-appropriate activities, and confidently caring for children in the absence of parents. I’m known for being patient, friendly, trustworthy, and highly reliable. I handle challenging behaviors calmly and respectfully while maintaining clear boundaries and structure. I take pride in being punctual, professional, honest, and dedicated to providing exceptional care. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with diverse families and children. I also have a strong passion for working with children and supporting their well-being and development. I currently attend college on weekends and have a long-term passion for healthcare, with aspirations of continuing to grow in the medical field. My ultimate goal has always been to work in pediatric care, which reflects my genuine love for helping children thrive. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones.

Louise $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Louise, and I offer senior care, child care, and household support. Caring for others has always been a meaningful part of my life. I have over 30 years of experience providing child care for families since coming to this country, in addition to raising three daughters of my own. My child care responsibilities have included school pick-up and drop-off, homework help, arts and crafts, and accompanying children to medical and therapy appointments. I also assist with cooking, cleaning, errands, and general household needs. Along with child care, I have experience providing compassionate care for elderly individuals. Most recently, I cared for an elderly woman living with dementia, supporting her daily needs and ensuring her comfort and safety. I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy helping families and individuals feel supported.

Guin $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Guinevere (or Guin for short), and I am a 22 recent graduate of the George Washington University. I graduated magna cum laude with two BA's in Journalism and Photography. I'm originally from Chicago and currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and love working with kids. I was an overnight camp counselor for 2 years in Newaygo, MI and learned so much from that experience. As someone who grew up with sleep anxiety as a kid, I learned how to calm kids down from panic attacks and use different soothing techniques to help them get to bed. After my time at Newaygo, I worked as a day camp counselor and art teacher at Lillstreet Arts Center in Chicago for 4 years. I have a background in art, singing, theatre, dance and more. I would love to do crafts with your kiddos and help them find new ways to express themselves! I would be happy to teach music to any little one who has an interest in learning as well :) I love to cook (and I'd like to say I'm pretty good) and would be happy to make meals for your family. I love pets of all kinds and would be very open to dog walking. I look forward to making connections with your lovely families/communities! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Shanell $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Shanell, and I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic sitter with over 4 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with kids in both personal and professional settings. I’ve cared for my younger cousins and other children, which helped me naturally build patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Professionally, I spent 3 years working as an afterschool teacher and summer camp counselor, where I supervised groups of children, planned fun and engaging activities, and made sure every child felt safe and included. I also worked for 1 year as a teacher’s aide, supporting classroom instruction and helping students from kindergarten through middle school with their learning and daily routines. I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a positive, fun, and structured environment for them. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I always bring a responsible and attentive approach. I look forward to connecting with families and providing trustworthy loving care for your children

Hi! My name is Rose, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of different ages. I worked in a church nursery for over two years caring for infants and toddlers ages 0–2, and I have also babysat two children from the time they were newborns until they were 4 and 5 years old. In addition, I have experience as a math tutor, which has helped me develop patience and strong communication skills when working with children. I am currently pursuing a nursing degree and have a passion for helping others. Beyond childcare, I have experience providing home care services for seniors and enjoy supporting people of all ages. Families describe me as caring, dependable, patient, and responsible.

"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)."
