Hello, my name is Daisy. I live in Bushwick Brooklyn. I have experience working with children in a daycare. I have an associate degree in bilingual education and am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree. I love working with kids because I find them inspiring and fun; I am patient, caring, and enjoy making arts and crafts, as well as exploring new places outdoors. Languages are a big part of my life—I speak Spanish and English, and I am currently learning Italian. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to work during the day or at night, depending on your needs. I am a responsible driver with a valid license and know the city well. Last year, I went on a road trip from New York to California, which helped me become familiar with many places and develop strong driving skills. I would be very excited to have the opportunity to work with you. I am dedicated and eager to help in any way, also I can provide support in cleaning too. Thank you so much for considering my application.

“Daisy is excellent, and our son Nico was very comfortable.”

Hello! My name is Tesla. I am 29 years old and have worked in childcare on and off for the last 9 years. During those years I have amassed a diverse array of childcare experience in Utah, California, Hawaii, and New York. I have assisted families with relaxed lifestyles who just need an extra hand, as well as families who require lots of extra assistance and operate with fast-paced schedules in large cities. The bonds I have forged working in childcare have changed my life. I would love to help you and your family!

Hi My name is Pasika. You can call me Bee. I have been taking care of children for 15 years, college educated with B. S. Degree in Major Nutrition. I have experience caring all ages of children, changing diapers, bottle feeding, making meals and giving baths. I'm motivated and proactive in childcare, household arrangement; arrange activities, play dates, healthy food preparation, etc. I maintain current Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification from American Red Cross. I am non-smoker/drinker. I am reliable, responsible, creative, educated, fun, hard working, care and have infant experience. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. PS. I'm fully vaccinated and boosted!

“We love Bee! We found Bee through UrbanSitter, we originally hired her to watch/care for our son several times for date nights. Soon afterwards, we hired her as our part-time nanny! Although Bee is a bit quiet initially, she lights up with children. Our son (now 10-months old) took to her immediately. Bee is always very patient and fun with him, and I often find them laughing, “chatting,” and playing together. Bee is very sweet with our older dog as well, she is always on time, and great with sticking to the baby’s daily schedule (feedings, nap time, going for walks, etc.). We provided detailed instructions for caring for our son (I.e. he has eczema and needs cream applied regularly and diapers changed very frequently) and she has been meticulous in following any instructions. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially to parents with infants, babies, and small children.”

"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)."
