Laylah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Laylah , and I’m a nursing student at CSI. I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household help. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, with experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids—including siblings and neurodivergent children. I love creating fun, engaging activities like crafts, story time, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework, school pickups, and bedtime routines. As a nursing student, I’m trained in safety, health awareness, and CPR, and I’ve cared for elderly family members—helping with meals, appointments, mobility, and companionship. I’m comfortable with dogs and can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things running smoothly at home.

I have always been good with kids and pride myself on being patient, caring, understanding, and dependable. I believe my previous caregiving experience has helped me develop the patience and compassion needed to provide a safe and supportive environment. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to learn, grow, and prove that I would be a great fit for this position. I hope someone is willing to take a chance on me and allow me the opportunity to show what I can bring to the role. I currently work with a family part time but they are very flexible with me I have been with them for 2 years I did not meet them on the app I’m new here but I am willing to get a reference from them. I have been a caregiver in general since 2021 In my free time, I enjoy going to Bible studies listening to music, cooking, going for walks, and trying new activities. I also really enjoy being creative and finding fun things to do with kids, whether that’s arts and crafts, playing games, reading, or simply spending time outdoors.

Josephine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Josie, and I’m a rising senior at Fordham University. I offer child care, dog walking/pet care, and household help. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable. I have experience babysitting children in my neighborhood, and I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy keeping kids entertained through games, crafts, reading, outdoor play, music, and movement. I also have professional experience working with young children through Ballet Petite, where I taught weekly dance camps for children ages 3–6. In this role, I managed groups of up to 7 children at a time, led dance activities, helped with transitions, encouraged participation, and made sure every child felt safe, included, and excited to learn. Because of my dance background, I love bringing creativity and movement into babysitting. I’m also happy to help with children’s routines, basic homework, snacks, simple meals, cooking for the children, light cleaning, tidying up play areas, and helping keep things organized while parents are away. I also offer dog walking and pet care. I have a Thai Ridgeback at home, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs and understand the importance of being attentive, patient, and responsible with pets. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, happy, and fun experience for your children and pets!

"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)."
