Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

I genuinely have a passion for helping others, particularly when it comes to cleaning, organizing, running errands, and maintaining a well-functioning household. I believe in giving my utmost effort and treating each task as if it were being done for my own home or family. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for children and providing household services. These experiences have instilled in me patience, responsibility, and a strong sense of reliability. Families consistently describe me as caring, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. I take great pride in providing not only high-quality care but also peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones and your home are in good hands.

“So professional. ”

Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi, I’m Dil! I love kids and have spent over 3 years as a preschool teacher, so I’m pretty hands-on when it comes to childcare, everything from daily routines to keeping little ones safe and happy. I’m also first aid and CPR certified, and I speak English, Spanish, and Russian fluently. I have a background in childhood development, and I genuinely care about helping kids grow and feel supported. I’d love the chance to meet you and your family, get to know your baby, and share a bit more about myself. Let me know if you’d like to connect!

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

My name is Ashley I love to serve others, children, seniors, and pets! For Children: I have several years of experience in child care from toddlers to teenagers. I'm gentle, kind and fun. I like to get minds and bodies moving, I won't just put your child in front of a screen! I offer a wide range of engaging and educational activities including arts and crafts, games, nature walks, improve/drama, photography, and cooking. I'm happy to do homework help! I have a degree in computer science and can can tutor your child in math and coding. For Seniors: I can offer seniors companionship and help with basic tasks around the house like cooking and cleaning. With seniors I love to have long chats and hear life stories (I'm a patient listener!) , play card games/backgammon/chess, or take them on walks depending on mobility. For Animals: I primarily have experience caring for dogs, and can also care for cats. I take care of dogs that are small to large (larger dogs must be more friendly, but I don't mind a small dog with trust-issues). I can take dogs on long walks and to the park. I don't have a car but can escort to and from schools or appointments via walking, public transit, or Uber.

Kimora $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hey there! My name is Kimora, I am an aspiring teacher in the making with both classroom and personal experience fostering children's personal growth and curiosity. I have been working in education and Childcare for roughly 5yrs mainly between the Pre-Kindergarten and 3rd Grade range. Meaning I am equipped with age appropriate games and crafts. I am also an intermediate artist and baker so if there are any future creative in this world I would love to nurture that as I do the kids in my own family. Small note if you've made it this far; I do not do crazy colors like my profile picture very often, maybe twice a year. But I wanted to be transparent with that in case my service with your family becomes more permanent in a year.

"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)."
