My name is Li,and I’m a warm, reliable, and experienced caregiver. I’m a certified teacher, a parent of two teenagers (ages 14 and 17), and I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth at all stages. I bring patience, clear communication, and a calm, positive attitude to every family I work with. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m confident with feeding, diapering, playtime, reading, school routines, and bedtime. I understand the importance of structure and kindness in helping children feel secure and happy. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and homework support. I’m flexible with schedules and always do my best to fit the needs of your family. I would love to connect and learn how I can support your household. Looking forward to meeting you!

Emily New York
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Emily. I'm 27, from and have been living in NYC for about 5 years. I'm in Clinton Hill/Ft. Greene. I'm currently looking for a childcare role - I have the most experience with little ones, newborn - 12mo+ . I've been working closely with a high-profile Brooklyn family since their son was born last January - starting at the newborn stage and now he's 15 months old. I still work with them as a date night sitter - I'm just looking for something with a more predictable schedule. I'm used to managing full days start to finish, including bottles and early solids, naps, sleep schedules, overnight help, and I've even traveled with them internationally. A bit about me - originally from Massachusetts, I've worked with kids for years. I taught kindergarten, worked as a sailing instructor, and have babysat consistently since high school and college. Outside of that, I love doing hot pilates and yoga and taking advantage of all that NYC has to offer. Happy to provide references!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I'm MJ, or you can call me Miss MJ if you'd like. I'm a super fun and youthful babysitter who loves to make playtime extra special for the kids I take care of. I believe in the power of engaging activities and creating a nurturing environment where children can explore their creativity and have a blast. I've had the opportunity to work at two awesome daycare centers, one afterschool program, and have babysat for over four different families. Being part of a big family myself, I've been babysitting since I was a little kid, so I have experience with children of all ages. I've even had the privilege of working with children on the spectrum. I'm excited to bring my energy and vibrance into your little ones' lives. <3

Hi! A little about me, my passion for working with kids started early. All through high school, I coached cheerleading for 70 girls ages 7–14. In college, I nannied and tutored for a family of eight children ranging from ages 7–18, which taught me patience, organization, and creativity in keeping kids engaged. I’m also a proud aunt to two little boys (a 3-month-old and a 2-year-old), so I know firsthand the joy and energy that come with caring for little ones at different stages. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—dogs and cats—and even studied to earn my vet tech license in high school, which gave me valuable skills in responsibility and care. Spending time with kids is something I genuinely love. With my mom being a 3rd-grade teacher, I’ve grown up in an environment centered around children, learning, and nurturing. From coaching and tutoring to family care, I’ve always found joy in creating safe, fun, and supportive spaces for kids to thrive.

"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
