Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olga, and I am a proud mother of three wonderful children—two boys and a daughter. Being a mom has given me valuable hands-on experience caring for children, understanding their needs, and creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive. I truly enjoy spending time with children, taking them to the park, engaging them in fun and educational activities, reading stories, and helping them develop their listening skills, creativity, confidence, and social skills. I believe that every child deserves patience, kindness, attention, and quality time. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while providing parents with peace of mind. I enjoy encouraging children to explore, learn new things, play, and develop at their own pace in a positive and supportive environment. As a caring, responsible, and patient mother, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. I would love the opportunity to care for your children as if they were my own, making sure they feel supported, engaged, and well cared for every day.

Azalea $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Azalea and here is a little bit about me :) I started working with kids when a family friend needed a babysitter, but even earlier in life I've always taken care of my younger cousins. I have babysat children from 1. 5 years of age to 11 years old, and have worked with children from 4 months of age to children in the 8th grade. I have experience with homework help, cleaning, changing diapers, playtime, meals, and putting the kids to bed. I have no problem staying overnight, and I am very pet friendly. I currently work at a school during the day as a teachers assistant. I am in school to be an educator. I treat all children with respect, and believe in following all boundaries of the child, so long as it puts no one or nothing in danger. I have my drivers license, and am also very versed in public transportation. I love taking kids out to the park or out for food as long as the parents are okay with it. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have :)

Booked by 3 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi there! I’m a Brooklyn born and raised in Ridgewood/Bushwick. I am a very family-oriented human who loves pets (especially my Marley who’s a mini golden-doodle)! Growing up it’s has always been a responsibility as the oldest of Three in my family, to care for my younger siblings when my parents needed the extra help around. Which evidently got me into Daycare Teacher certification for a Daycare in Bushwick and early childhood education. I worked for many years in to then getting my CPR certification as well. And now currently studying herbalism. I would say I have more than 5+ years of experience taking care, having FUN with children that I care for! Kindly, Dayana C.

"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)."
