Sacha New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a 22-year-old college student from Queens, New York with a passion for working with kids. I naturally connect with children and love creating fun, engaging experiences for them! I originally studied Early Childhood Education to become a first-grade teacher, but I'm now exploring a career in pediatric nursing because I truly enjoy caring for children. I have hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings who are now middle schoolers. Dealing with them has taught me patience, responsibility, and creativity in keeping kids entertained and happy. What I Offer: 1. Fun and engaging activities 2. Homework help 3. Safe and responsible care 4. A warm, bubbly personality that kids love 5. Experience with both cats and dogs (super pet-friendly!) I would love the opportunity to babysit for your family. Feel free to reach out! I can't wait to meet you and your little ones!

Booked by 3 families in Jamaica, NY

Hi! My name is Marleshka, but you can call me Marly. I am a current senior at the University of Vermont, and I am studying Psychological Science and minoring in Japanese. I graduate in May 2026. I am fluent and native in Spanish. Once I graduate, I hope to pursue a master's in social work to become an LCSW and work with those in underserved communities and with mental illness, particularly children. I have mentored for the DREAM program since October 2022, organizing activities and looking after children aged 3-18 with peers. I volunteer at least 3 hrs/week. I have also volunteered in a Head Start preschool and assisted teachers with children aged 5 and younger. This was from September 2023 to December 2023. I currently hold an American Heart Association BLS Certification valid until April 2027. This includes adult and child/infant CPR< first aid, and Naloxone training. I have received study skills training at my university to tutor others, and I had regular tutees this past semester. I love to teach children and do so in a way that works best for them. In my free time, I love to crochet, volunteer, listen to music, and bake sweets! I can't wait to work with you!

With over 15 years of experience caring for children — including 13 years working in my family’s daycare — I’ve built a career rooted in patience, trust, and genuine love for kids. I am CPR certified and fingerprinted through the Department of Health, ensuring safety and reliability in every situation. Caring for children is more than just a job to me — it’s my passion, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I would love the pleasure of working with your family and providing the care and attention your children deserve.

Yannie New York
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Yannie, and I offer dependable child care, senior care, and household assistance. As a mother of four children, I have years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My children range in age from 11 to 26, and raising them has given me patience, compassion, and a strong understanding of children’s needs. In addition to raising my own children, I owned and operated a licensed family daycare, where I provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children in my care. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I am CPR and First Aid trained through my previous family daycare experience and have always made the safety and well-being of those in my care my highest priority. I also have experience caring for seniors, both professionally and personally. In addition to caring for my own mother, I have provided care and companionship for other seniors as well. I can assist with companionship, transportation to appointments, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and daily activities while helping seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence. In addition, I offer household assistance, including cooking, cleaning, organizing, laundry, and running errands when needed. I especially enjoy preparing Puerto Rican and Spanish-inspired home-cooked meals. I am also happy to care for pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I take pride in being dependable, caring, patient, and trustworthy. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I strive to treat every child, senior, pet, and home with the same kindness, respect, and dedication that I would want for my own family. I look forward to becoming a reliable helping hand and a positive part of your family’s daily life.

"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)."
