Maria New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Maria. I am a mom to a 32-year old adult with autism. As a special ed teacher, I have worked with many children with special needs helping them with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc) behavioral and communication adaptations. I can take children to school or other appointments, as well as assist them with homework. I live on the Upper East side and am available to work twice a week. I am allergic to animals so I cannot work in households with pets. I do not speak Spanish. I consider myself to be an organized, compassionate, patient and trustworthy person. I prefer to work with seniors or no more than two kids aged 2 and above.

Finley New York
$21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve babysat for my niece since she was a newborn (she’s now 2!) and have lots of hands on experience with kids at home. Since moving to the city, I’ve also been dog sitting and am excited to start babysitting here. Along with childcare, I studied culinary abroad for a semester, so I can cook and bake to your heart’s desire. I’ve also worked as a tennis and pickleball coach, so I love getting kids moving and active. And when things wind down, I actually enjoy cleaning and organizing. I bring energy, creativity, and responsibility into everything I do and am looking for part time or occasional babysitting jobs.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
