Hello! I’m Olivia, a full time elementary school art teacher. I offer childcare and household services in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, and the ages of the children in my care have ranged from 2-11 years old. In addition to being certified to teach visual art, I am certified in general childhood education and am able to offer homework help and tutoring or even art lessons along with childcare! I love to work with kids and plan enriching art activities or help them meet their academic goals. I am able to complete chores, cook, and help with pet care as well!

Hello everyone! My name is Marieme and this spring I just graduated from NYU with my master’s in public health. I am fully vaccinated and did receive the booster, so safety first is big on my end! I’ve decided to babysit during times I dont have class so my availability is open and subject to change. I am extremely friendly and I’m definitely a people-person. I am great with kids and I have lots of experience. I am an older sister to two, so I am naturally good at looking after children. Besides my own younger siblings, I’ve babysat professionally for about 5 years now. I love to play games with kids and I am very active and fun to be around. I was CPR certified, however my certification has expired. Luckily, I remember the training, just in case! I can speak English, French, Wolof ( A West-African Dialect), and I am now learning Spanish. I can help with homework, keep kids active/ entertained, and simply watch them attentively. I am fun yet mature and responsible. I hope we can meet soon!

I grew up in New York City with a younger brother in an arts driven, multicultural family. My passions are language, grounding in nature, traveling, epicurean adventures, cooking, wellness and the arts. Along with my work in childcare, I am a published fine artist working in photography. I believe kids can teach us a lot with their curiosity, wisdom and free spirits. I always learn something new about myself in the company of children and I’ve worked with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I find them totally inspiring for my own creative work. I am also a big believer in families and have been offering them support through nurture, protection and care for nearly two decades. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and ability to support families through Doula studies. I seek connection with compassionate and kind families who value the contribution of caregivers~ those who know the work of care is a beautiful act of service that upholds the wellbeing of our collective. *Please be honest in your post or when we speak whether you have a sick child. A sick child rate is available, discussed and agreed upon at hire.

“Nora helped me out when I needed it most. She was very reliable and I felt like my kids were in good hands. I plan to ask her for her services in the future. My kids really enjoyed spending time with Nora.”

Hello my name is Angelica. I'm currently majoring in Early Childhood at Queens College. I look forward to completing my schooling and becoming an elementary school teacher. I currently work for Kindercare as a lead teacher. I love interacting with kids, playing games, and doing indoor/outdoor activities with them. I enjoy being surrounded by children because of their imagination and creativity. I am a creative person who enjoys making crafty items and exploring sensory activities using safe materials for children. I love listening to music of all different genres, reading non-fiction books, dancing, and meeting people of all different cultures. I am very skilled in supervising activities of children of different ages while providing them with ongoing care and a safe environment. I pay special attention to detailed instructions that vary from family to family. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.

Hi! My name is Kaidy- I graduated with a B.S. from West Virginia University in 2013, then continued to take classes towards a Master’s degree in Education shortly after. I have worked both as a preschool teacher and a full-time nanny since then. I am offering childcare, such as nanny and babysitting, and pet services. I’ve always loved taking care of kids; I started babysitting at 11 years old and continued that career path through my adulthood. I’ve worked with children off all ages ranging from infants and toddlers (including twins!), all the way through high school age. I have the education and training to care for all different types of children through my work as a Paraprofessional; this includes children with developmental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities as well as children with autism. In my previous nannying experience, my responsibilities with the children have included (but are not limited to): driving or using public transit to take children to school, museums, parks/playgrounds, and sports; daily arts and crafts; STEM experiments; teaching phonics, basic math, writing skills, and homework help; integrating music through guitar, song and dance; and creating engaging, and often educational, daily games. Additionally, I offer household services to the families I work with, such as: laundry, cleaning general play areas, cooking meals, and running errands. I have both a dog and a cat at home- I love animals! So I am offering pet care services as well. I am trained and certified in infant/child/adult CPR & First Aid, and I have utilized my skills several times working with children. I have successfully preformed the Heimlich Maneuver on separate occasions for a baby and a toddler, as well as identified the signs of a child experiencing an asthma attack and immediately used their rescue inhaler. I have also administered regular medication to children (and pets!) and I feel totally comfortable doing so. I don’t have any children of my own, but I grew up the oldest of 30 first cousins and I have absolutely loved being able to care for them, as well as children of any age and background; to see them grow, and help them flourish, is an honor that I don’t take lightly. I am confident in creating a fun, engaging, and educational experience for your little ones. I hope to show your family the compassion and strong work ethic that I have to offer!

"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)."
