Booked by 3 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Michelle, and I work remotely as a consultant Monday through Friday. In addition to my professional work, I’m offering reliable child care, senior care, pet care, and household services to families in need of extra help. I’ve been caring for children of all ages since I was 14, and I truly enjoy creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for them. I also volunteered at a preschool, where I loved helping the kids learn and grow through play and creative activities. Along with childcare, I have experience caring for seniors — especially my grandparents — and understand the importance of patience, kindness, and companionship. I’m responsible, caring, and easy to work with & I take pride in providing the kind of care that you can rely on. I’d be more than happy to chat over the phone or meet in person so you can get to know me better and feel completely comfortable :)

Abigail 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Abigail, and I’m currently looking for part-time, full-time, or occasional childcare, pet care, senior care, and house care work in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens! I currently live in the Carnegie Hill area, so families near this area would be a bonus! About me- Childcare: I have years of experience caring for children of all different ages! I have the most experience caring for children 10 and under, but am happy to care for children of any age 🙂. I have a large family and have always been the designated babysitter, but outside of my family, I have cared for families with children of all different ages. I believe strongly in supporting children’s development, both logically, creatively, and emotionally. Through my care, I prioritize keeping your children safe, following any family guidelines/specifics for care, and supporting your children in growing into their truest, happiest selves. I recently graduated with my degrees in environmental studies and theatre performance, and studying psychology and child development has always been a passion of mine. Since I was very little I have always wanted to be a mom, so while I am still young I have been building my toolkit to be the best mom I can be, and in the meantime, the best babysitter I can be. Senior care: I have always valued caring for seniors and providing a comforting and kind presence to be around. Near the end of my nanas life, I was one of her primary caretakers, and I ensured that her last little while here was nothing short of magical. Pet care: I've had dogs and cats in my household ever since I can remember, and have cared for rabbits, snakes, and fish outside of my own household. I love animals of all kinds and believe that they all deserve proper care, attention, love, and training.

We’ve known Abigail for about 5 years now and she has been such a reliable, lovely, caring caretaker to our girls and our Dalmatian. We trust her but most importantly, our daughters (and dog!) absolutely adore her. She has a bit of magic about her that children love and she would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s family.

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi, I’m Brianna and I am a preschool teacher in the Manhattan area offering occasional nannying services for toddlers/pre-K children, housework, and pet care. I’ve been teaching preschool for four years, but have had a lifetime of experience taking care of my younger siblings and cousins. I have a great passion for early childhood education and I love working with little ones. I can help with homework for younger children, housework, and any pets! (I have two dogs and a fish of my own). I love doing arts and crafts activities as well and would always love to spend an afternoon introducing children to different creative outlets! I have experience taking children on day trips, on public transport, navigating the city, and eating in public. I also have potty training experience as well and can help with that transition if needed. I’m a dedicated caregiver who wants to be an extra hand to families who need one every now and then!

Brianna was really professional and was so good at engaging with and interacting with my kid. They were respectful, knowledgeable and warm. Would absolutely hire again.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
