Eiliany $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi, I’m Eiliany! 👋 A caring, patient, and dependable babysitter with over 4 years of professional childcare experience, including 2 years of dedicated babysitting experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I support children with autism and other developmental needs. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication, creativity, and ability to understand each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves. 👶 My Babysitting Experience I have hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with: • Bottle feeding and preparing meals/snacks • Diaper changes and infant care • Nap and bedtime routines • Bathing and getting children ready for the day • Homework help • Reading and storytelling • Arts and crafts • Games and age-appropriate activities • Outdoor play and trips to the park • Supporting children with routines and transitions • Light housekeeping related to the children • Following each family’s parenting style and instructions I always aim to make children feel safe, heard, supported, and cared for while also making sure they have fun! ⭐ Qualifications • CPR Certified • Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) • OCFS 15-Hour Health & Safety Certified • Over 4 years of professional childcare experience • 2 years of babysitting experience • Currently studying Speech Pathology at Bronx Community College (A.A.S., expected 2027) Studying Speech Pathology is especially meaningful to me because I love helping children develop their communication, confidence, and independence. 💕 A Little About Me Outside of work and school, I enjoy going to the gym, cooking healthy meals, reading, and spending time with family. I especially enjoy reading books with children, doing arts and crafts, playing games, and coming up with creative activities that encourage learning. I’m also pet friendly! 🐾 As a cat owner, I understand how important it is to provide pets with loving and attentive care while following each family’s instructions.

Mawa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mawa, and I'm a childcare provider based in NYC. I have a year and a half of professional experience working with toddlers and preschoolers (ages 1-4) in a daycare environment, along with individual care for families. Prior to that, I also cared for children of family friends. I'm CPR certified and comfortable assisting with a variety of daily needs. I'm an energetic and playful caregiver who loves having fun, but I also believe in maintaining structure and routine to support a child's growth and sense of security. Some of my favorite activities to do with children include reading, exploring outdoors, and anything hands-on or creative. I strive to make every day engaging, safe, and full of opportunities for learning. Currently, I am looking to work with families within the NYC area only. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit!

Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Taylor, a childcare worker and musician/actor here in NYC, offering infant/childcare and pet care! My first experiences taking care of children date back to when I was 14, babysitting the neighborhood children for work experience. Since then, I’ve spent countless summers as a summer camp counselor. When I moved to New York I spent time as a part-time birthday party entertainer for children of all ages, worked as a Toddler’s Assistant in private schools, and continue to nanny full time as well as substitute teach for all ages of children! I am a NY licensed driver with a clean record, able to transport your kiddos to and from school + all sorts of different activities. I love to incorporate music into childcare routines with lots of songs and encouraging words. (I also offer guitar lessons for elementary children and older). I’m a good cook and love to care for pets as well (dogs, cats, anything!)

Sydney $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hello! My name is Sydney and I am an actor originally from Atlantic City, New Jersey! I have been caring for children ever since I was 14 and my parents would let me watch the children in our neighborhood for some extra change. Since then, I have cared for children of all age groups, with my most recent full time nanny position including caring for 3 boys ages 9-14. This included cooking for them daily, doing their laundry, and making sure they stayed on top of school work. In addition to caring for children, I have a strong background in teaching for them as well. I am currently finishing out the school year as a full time Substitute Teacher for the NYC Department of Education, and I have many years of counselor in training experience from my various summer camps growing up. Always available for light household chores, caring for animals, and running errands as well. Children make my heart glow, and I would love to meet yours! Feel free to reach out,

"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)."
