Emily $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Emily. I'm 27, from and have been living in NYC for about 5 years. I'm in Clinton Hill/Ft. Greene. I'm currently looking for a childcare role - I have the most experience with little ones, newborn - 12mo+ . I've been working closely with a high-profile Brooklyn family since their son was born last January - starting at the newborn stage and now he's 15 months old. I still work with them as a date night sitter - I'm just looking for something with a more predictable schedule. I'm used to managing full days start to finish, including bottles and early solids, naps, sleep schedules, overnight help, and I've even traveled with them internationally. A bit about me - originally from Massachusetts, I've worked with kids for years. I taught kindergarten, worked as a sailing instructor, and have babysat consistently since high school and college. Outside of that, I love doing hot pilates and yoga and taking advantage of all that NYC has to offer. Happy to provide references!

Porsha $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been in child services for a little over 5 years. I’ve been able to work at agencies and in private homes with children as far as infants to grown adults with special needs. I’m in Brooklyn so I’m not far from a few boroughs and I don’t mind traveling and working along with families in need as far as scheduling.

"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."

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)."
