Xinyi New York
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m New York-native named Xinyi and have been a part-time babysitter/nanny since 2022. I left my tech job to become a certified Pilates teacher, and am currently trying to build my client base in NYC. Even though I am super passionate about Pilates, I’ve always loved kids and at one point received the Teaching Fellowship from the city to purse education. Happy to be around to lessen the load after the 9-5 grind, or just be there for when you need a date night with your partner! However I can help, I can be your gal. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my qualifications! I look forward to meeting you and your kids soon :)

Heather Brooklyn
$17 per hour for 1 child

I've been a counselor at Rock Camp's before as well as a music teacher. I've mainly worked with kids ages 5+. I'm an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I grew up with dogs and have taken care of other friends and relatives animals before. My experience with seniors who need additional care is with my own mother who has MS and I grew up with her having disabilities so I'm very knowledgeable with taking care of older seniors. I'm looking for some work right now while I'm in-between jobs. I can help with house care as well. Thank you for your consideration. -Heather

I am a college graduate with my master’s and bachelor’s in electrical engineering. I’ve worked for a summer tech camp where I had to supervise a group of 20 or so campers between the ages of 5-13. I also have tutored kids in that age range. I have 3 cats of my own and have had them for 5 years now. I am very positive, energetic, and detail oriented.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
