Hello! My name is Katryna, and I’m a preschool teacher, musician, and experienced childcare provider based in NYC. I currently teach at a family learning and social club in Tribeca, and I’m looking for part-time or occasional childcare work to supplement my teaching schedule. I’m a graduate of The Institute of American Musical Theatre and have been working with children for 10 years through teaching, babysitting, and performing arts education. I’ve taught music, theatre, martial arts, and creative programming to children ages 2–12, in addition to my infant babysitting experience and I’m CPR/First Aid and EpiPen trained. Growing up in a military family with younger siblings taught me early on how important it is for kids to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I bring that same warmth and respect to the children I work with, whether we’re making music, getting creative, or just hanging out at home. :)

Hello, My name is Elodie, and I am a native of France, fluent in English, French, and Spanish. I hold a degree in Fashion Design, Applied Arts, and Marketing from a renowned fashion and art school. I am reliable and available to care for your children. In addition to being a certified rescue diver with valid First Aid and CPR certifications, I am also an animal lover. I am here to make your life easier, ensuring you can enjoy a worry-free night out or a productive workday. Availability: Full-time, part-time, evenings, and weekends. My goal is to enhance your children’s proficiency in the French language, culture, education, and traditions. I also aim to cultivate their artistic senses by exploring art through museum visits, crafts, and music. Throughout my studies and freelance work, I have cared for several families over the past fifteen years, with children ranging from 2 months to 14 years old, both in Paris and New York. I possess strong organizational, artistic, and communication skills, which I believe are crucial attributes of a good babysitter. I am flexible and adaptable, with extensive knowledge of child psychology and development. Above all, I am committed to nurturing and encouraging healthy emotional and physical development. I will always ensure your children are safe and having fun through activities such as games, art, and sports. I find immense joy in taking care of children and teaching them. I regularly engage in sports, love swimming, and enjoy classical music (I played the violin for seven years) and yoga. I am passionate about healthy vegan cuisine, art, fashion, and reading. I am fun, bubbly, responsible, and caring. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, where they feel protected and can thrive. I hope my experience and skills encourage you to contact me so we can meet in person. If you have any questions or require references, please feel free to reach out. Kind regards, Elodie

"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)."
