Jasmine Brooklyn
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Jasmine and I am a 23 years old post grad student in nyc. I am offering child care, petcare, senior care, and household services. I am the second oldest of five siblings, so caregiving has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My siblings range from age 7 to 18 (with a 29 year old older sister who also has a 7-year-old child), and I’ve been a trusted family babysitter and support system across many ages and stages. Beyond family care, I’ve worked as an after-school support teacher for grades 1–3, helping with homework, routines, and emotional regulation. I also spent over a year as a personal assistant to a dermatologist, where I helped care for her 3-year-old and supported her family after the arrival of a newborn this past spring. I’m calm, attentive, organized, and very comfortable balancing multiple needs at once. I’m a Washington, DC native and earned my bachelor’s degree from Boston University. I’m bilingual in Spanish and English, love cooking nutritious, kid-friendly whole foods, and genuinely enjoy creating warm, structured environments where children feel safe and supported. I’m currently taking a break from office work to be more present, hands-on, and connected in my roles caring for people is what energizes me. I also have extensive experience caring for pets and animals for extended periods and am happy to help with any furry (or not-so-furry) family members as well. Long-term, I hope to become a teacher or professor, and I bring that patience, curiosity, and care into everything I do. Please let me know if I can send you my profile for trusted house sitter and taskr tp learn more about me.

Paula Brooklyn
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Paula and I’m currently a college student with almost four years of experience caring for children ranging from ages 3 to 11. I’m finishing up my Business Communications degree and plan to get my teacher’s certification after I graduate in January. I love working with kids of all ages and strive to create a fun and safe environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I have experience with school pick ups, homework help, meal and snack preparation, bedtime routines, playtime activities, and housekeeping. I’m comfortable and have experience with caring for multiple children at once. I grew up with animals at home and have experience pet sitting cats and dogs. Families I’ve worked with know me as dependable, patient, organized, enthusiastic and easy to communicate with. I aim to make children feel safe, heard, and cared for while making sure parents feel confident leaving their children in my care. I’m happy to be a small part of what makes your day-to-day a little easier.

"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."

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)."
