Quinn $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I am a teacher of English as a New Language at a middle school here in Brooklyn, supporting students grades 5-8 with their English language acquisition. I come with an extensive background, and am excited to find roles with potential for a long-term partnership! The cornerstones of my style would be fun, structure, and close collaboration with the family. What this looks like is unique to each family and each role, and I come with lots of questions. It's important to me to establish a foundation of communication early on and to align my approach with the family's values. In the past, this has meant getting outside, art or cooking projects, indoor play with games and manipulatives, and reading, all organized around meal and rest/nap times. I have a mellow personality (more of a listener) but am also physically active and all-in for a game of tag or a day of swimming! Being an educator, I enjoy a good field trip and am happy to take children on outings. I am safety-conscious and attentive at all times, and I like to minimize screens including my own. What I love most about childcare is the bond developed with the child and the memories I've made, even with short-term roles. I hold a Bachelors in Political Science and a TESOL certification. I'm happy to provide a resume with detail on my 10+ years of work with children, as well as references and a copy of my first aid certification, upon request. Looking forward to connecting!

Stella $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am Stella, a Brooklyn-based (am happy to commute around the city) caregiver and recent college graduate with over 8 years of experience, primarily working with children ages 2-12. I’m an extremely patient and compassionate babysitter, who values communication with both kids and parents. I have experience with children experiencing neurodivergence and de-escalating big emotions with care, understanding, and speaking to children as equals. I prioritize safety/health, trust-building, and emotional well-being; minimizing screen-time and favoring outdoor activities, indulging in our imagination, art-making, learning, and hands-on activities. I’m an artist who loves dance, crafting, reading & writing, nature walks, and grounding exercises to calm down after a long day. I walk or take public transportation, am learning Italian and Spanish, and am extremely happy to cook healthy meals, clean, run errands, commute to various activities, and care for dogs and cats. I bring warmth, curiosity, joy, and love to every home I work with. I would love to chat and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Samuel $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Sam! I love working with children of all ages but have the most experience with kids 3-12. I’m originally from the Pacific Northwest but moved to New York to explore job options in childcare, fashion, public relations, and the arts. I learned more about how much care, time, and attention children require after caring for a 2 and 5 year old for three years. In high school, I was a camp counselor for my school’s outdoor program and a swim instructor for children aged 3-8. I also consistently volunteered at kids basketball games, book fairs, field trips, and art classes. Post high school, I studied marketing for two years at Walla Walla Community College. I then completed the AmeriCorps NCCC program, where I traveled with a team to Texas and Colorado to assist communities in need with long term disaster recovery, mold remediation, environmental conservation, and more. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning: just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to paint, sing, dance, read, write, craft, spend time in nature, and explore new places- all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Through AmeriCorps, I was given the chance to volunteer weekly at a boys and girls clubs and that was my favorite volunteer opportunity by far. I helped the kids move through their activities, identify various emotions, set boundaries with peers by saying “stop!” or “i do not like that!”, and focusing on creating a safe space for them to feel heard, understood, and regulated. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, beta fish, bunnies, and geckos (my family had a lot of pets!). Additionally, having worked several customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of spaces throughout the years, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.

Catherine $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cathy and I am native New Yorker who has spent the last 10 years working with children (mostly ages 5-18) primarily as a tutor. In addition to tutoring, I have also been responsible for picking up / dropping off children at school and after-school activities (walking and via car). I have meal-prepped for up to three siblings and ensured that homework and household responsibilities were complete. I love treating my clients as if they are my own children. I am responsible, timely, very communicative so parents do not worry and have high energy! I am also a pet lover, with my own chihuahua named Gizmo. My schedule is very open and adjustable, since I am also a day trader with flexible hours. I look forward to seeing how I can be of service to your family!

"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)."
