Leah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leah, and I am 18 years old. I have been working since I was 14, graduated high school early at 17, and went directly into trade school, where I am currently working toward becoming a licensed esthetician and skin therapist. Most recently, I worked as a Teen Reading Ambassador with the New York Public Library, helping children with reading, writing, math homework, games, arts and crafts, and other activities. I have also worked with children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and different learning styles. One of my strongest qualities is my patience. I do not become easily frustrated, and I understand that children sometimes need extra time, a different explanation, or simply someone who will listen to them. I enjoy making kids feel comfortable, taking their ideas seriously, and keeping them safe while making sure they are having a good time. I am happy to follow any routines, household rules, meal instructions, or schedules a parent provides. I also have younger siblings and have helped my hardworking mom at home when I was younger, so I understand how much of a difference it makes to have someone who can help with meals, homework, cleaning, and keeping things organized. I know how to cook a variety of meals, and I am very comfortable cleaning, doing laundry, tidying up, and organizing spaces. Cleaning is something I have always been good at, and I take pride in doing it thoroughly. I am also interested in senior care because I enjoy talking, listening to people’s stories, and helping others feel comfortable and less alone. I would be patient and respectful while providing companionship, preparing meals, helping around the home, and following any routines or instructions the family has. I am naturally friendly, talkative, energetic, and caring, but I also know when to be calm and focused. A fun fact about me is that I started and captained my high school cheer team. Whether I am helping with childcare, senior companionship, or household tasks, my goal is to be someone a family can depend on and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a recent graduate of Bennington College where I studied Visual Arts and Poetry. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services! I love being a babysitter. I took care of the same family all throughout high school (4 years) watching two toddler-aged into kid-aged children and a dog. My responsibilities included helping with homework, doing crafts, transportation to/from extracurricular activities, walking the dog, and playing by the pool. For the past two summers I have worked as a camp counselor for ages ranging 5-12 years old. Both being out in nature, I have experience supervising children at lakes and oceans, leading hiking, and creating/teaching arts and crafts activities. I feel passionate about fostering creativity within kids through art! I have 10+ years experience volunteering with children with developmental and behavioral special needs. I am trained in behavior management and feel equipped to handle most cases. I am offering pet and household services as well. I have grown up with multiple cats and dogs so am used to animals and love them! I can do household tasks as well including cooking, cleaning, and running errands.

"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)."
