Yeliz $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yeliz. I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person with 2 years of childcare experience as an Au Pair, where I cared for twin boys. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, keeping them engaged, and creating a safe and positive environment for them. I’m friendly, reliable, organized, and I adapt easily to different family routines and needs. I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with a family who is looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I’d be happy to chat and see if we’re a good fit! 😊

Booked by 3 families in Long Island City, NY

I'm a 35 year old Australian who has moved to the US with my husband. I have many nieces, nephews and friend's children who I loved to care for back home. I have also been a babysitter/nanny for 4 years in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infant to pre-teens. I am available all weekdays in the AM at present, as I work with a family I have been with long term in the afternoon. I'm always happy to accommodate your family needs to make life a little easier, including laundry, light housework, etc. I live in Brooklyn but happy to take work in Manhattan also. Look forward to hearing from you and meeting your family. Courtney

"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."

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)."
