Francie

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Francie and I just graduated from Williams College. I am a babysitter and tutor, and am also willing to work with animals. I have experience in babysitting elementary and toddler-aged children, but am excited about working with other ages. I also have experience tutoring my younger brother, who had learning difficulties, so am comfortable working with kids who might have difficult relationships with school work. In the past I've dropped kids off and picked them up, done crafts with them, taken them to the playground, read with them, made up dances, and otherwise tried to have them to creative activities. Please let me know if I can give you any more info!

Booked by 7 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! I’m a college student with lots of availability and years of babysitting experience, working with kids from newborns to 10 years old. I love making things fun with games, crafts, and activities, and I’m always happy to help with homework, run errands, or pitch in around the house. I’m responsible, patient, and positive, and I really enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, supported, and have a great time while they're in my care!

Emily was very quick in replying, and very flexible when I had a really early morning appointment that was postponed last minute and then stretched into the mid-afternoon hours. She was absolutely professional and saved me a lot of hassle and trouble. She has a very nice and warm personality and my son still asks about her regularly. She was able to calm him down quickly when he was truly upset over me leaving. She kept him busy and happy. I will hire her again on the spot, and can only recommend her highly.

"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)."
