Fatoumata New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Fatou. I have been babysitting since middle school. A little about me: I am a responsible and caring babysitter who truly enjoys working with kids. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure children feel safe and comfortable around me. I am the oldest of six kids, so I have experience with different age groups. For fun, I like to keep children engaged with activities such as playing games, helping with homework, or doing creative projects. I understand the importance of following parents’ rules and routines, and I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy. My goal is always to create a positive, fun, and safe environment for every child I care for.

Caring for children is more than just a job to me — it’s my passion, and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a bubbly, creative caregiver with years of experience supporting families. I’ve taken care of kids most of my life, from babysitting for various families since I was 17 (ask me for my reference) to helping raise my younger brother and cousins. I’ve worked with toddlers and older kids and also have three years of pet care experience. I cook, clean, help with bedtime routines, and love doing arts and crafts. i love checking childrens books out of the library & reading to your kiddos! I connect easily with children, help them feel safe, and support their emotional needs & development. I believe in gentle parenting and have read several parenting books. i am cpr & first aid certified.

What sets Aaliyah apart is her ability to keep our little one both entertained and safe. She engages in creative play, reads stories, and always follows our routines closely. We’ve always felt completely comfortable leaving our child in her care, which is the highest praise we could give any sitter.

"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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
