Hi! My name is Rinelle and I am a senior at Hunter College. As an older sister to three siblings, caregiving has always been part of my life. I have been working with children for over 6 years, through various babysitting and tutoring jobs. I am bilingual in English and French and conversational in Spanish. I am also comfortable working with children of all ages! My biggest strength as a caregiver is my ability to adapt and creatively problem-solve, all while maintaining a positive attitude. Furthermore, I am honest, patient, and generous in spirit. I also have several hobbies and enjoy playing volleyball, reading books, and taking photographs, to name a few. All in all, I truly enjoy caregiving and I look forward to serving your family!

Booked by 28 families in New York, NY

I have just accepted a full time position with a family (July 2026) and am only available for occasional date nights. My most recent longer term jobs have been taking care of toddlers, but I am also very experienced working with preschool and elementary school aged kids. I am a singer and teaching artist who has tons of experience working with children, mostly kids who are age 3 and up. I taught elementary school music for several years and now teach classes as well as private music lessons as part of my freelance lifestyle. When I am with kids, I love going to the park, singing, baking/cooking, reading stories, and getting creative! ***I have current First Aid/CPR certification and a valid NY license with a clean driving record. My rates for long term positions may be different than posted above depending upon the number of hours, children, and duties involved.

Shawn was attentive, caring, and great with our twin girls. I could not recommend her more highly!

Booked by 11 families in New York, NY

Hi! I’m Mia, a student at Hunter College in NYC. I have experience helping families with childcare, school pickups, homework support, meal preparation, and household responsibilities. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and creating a positive environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. Whether it’s reading together, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, or simply being part of their daily routine, I always aim to make each day enjoyable and productive. I’m dependable, patient, and adaptable, and I understand that every family has different needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with pet care, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, and organization. I value being someone families can depend on and enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents through consistency, kindness, and open communication.

Last minute I went to dinner with friends and Mia watched my 8 year old. She was awesome!

"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)."
