Vincent $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello ! My name is Vi, I'm an artist offering childcare, seniorcare, petcare, and household services. I love spending time with kids, I even used to be one myself ! I taught children ages 3-8 various sports through my hometown's parks and recreation department for 2 years. I'm happy to tutor, make art, chaperone, and more. I offer household services as well, including cooking, cleaning, errands, and so on. I have a drivers license but don't have a car. When it comes to seniors, I've taken care of my grandmother bringing her to appointments and making sure she's fed and happy. I'm skilled at technology teaching/troubleshooting, and I love listening to people talk. I adore all pets and have a cat of my own, I just ask for clear instructions and I'm more than happy to accommodate (that goes for everything).

Sofia $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Sofia, from a small coastal community in Northern California, and recently moved to Brooklyn after graduating from University. I have 10 years of experience as a babysitter with infants to pre-teens! I have also worked a summer camp counselor in my hometown for three summers, guiding groups of over 15 children on outdoor adventures and through arts and crafts activities. I recently graduated from the University of British Columbia, where I studied Creative Writing and Visual Art. I truly love working with kids of all ages and personalities, establishing a foundation of trust with each other, and fostering a deep connection. The experience of looking after a child has always brought me a deep sense of purpose and offered me with new, unique perspectives. I have references available, and have CPR and first aid certifications. You can reach me at[removed], or [removed] - I look forward to hearing from you!!

"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)."
