Hello! I’m Anna, and I have many experience working with and caring for children of all ages. My passion for childcare began as the oldest sibling in my family and has grown through years of experience caring for children as well as working as a teacher’s assistant. I am patient, dependable, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and creative learning. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, maintain daily routines, and assist with housekeeping. I am a licensed driver with reliable transportation and can assist with school drop-offs, pickups, appointments, and extracurricular activities. I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, allowing me to communicate comfortably with bilingual families. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I provide reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind while supporting each child’s growth and development. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can depend on. My schedule is very flexible so don’t be afraid to reach out!!

“I had a great experience working with Anna. I hired her for a few days of after-school pickup. She was punctual, reliable, has great communication skills, and followed our instructions well. She was comfortable navigating NYC with my child by public bus and on foot, and was flexible in accommodating last-minute changes and spontaneous trips to different locations. Most importantly, she connected well with my child, which we really appreciated. We would be happy to book her again in the future!”

Hi! My name is Liselot, but I mainly go by Liz. I’m 23 years old, a college student, and a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I work as a Behavior Technician in ABA therapy, providing one-on-one support to a child primarily in a home setting, with occasional sessions at an ABA center. Through my work, I’ve gained experience supporting children with challenging behaviors, following individualized routines and goals, encouraging independence, and developing communication skills. I also have experience using an AAC device with a non-speaking child. I also have babysitting experience with children ranging from toddlers to school age. I enjoy keeping children engaged through arts and crafts, reading and storytelling, educational activities, outdoor play, and age-appropriate games. I’m comfortable helping with meals, clean-up, bedtime routines, and keeping children on their usual schedule. I’m studying Early Childhood Education and plan to transition into Speech-Language Pathology in the fall, if all goes well. I’m especially interested in child development, communication, and helping children build confidence and independence. I’m looking for occasional babysitting opportunities that I can work around my school and ABA schedule. I’d be happy to do an in-person or FaceTime interview so we can get to know each other and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

“Liz had great communication and very reliable!”

"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)."
