Gwladys Newark
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, Moms and dads, I’m Gwladys! I’m 29 years old, a proud mom of three, and currently juggling full-time work and school as I pursue my bachelor’s degree in sonography. I hold an associate degree in science and am looking for a side opportunity to help support my family while doing something I genuinely enjoy; caring for children. Although I don't have formal professional childcare experience, I’ve been caring for kids since I was 14. Being a mother myself, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and creating a safe, loving environment for little ones. I’m naturally nurturing, empathetic, attentive, and deeply committed to children’s well-being and development. Whether you need a reliable caregiver for a few hours or extra support during busy days, I’d love to be a helping hand in your family's life.

Estella New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Estella and I am a young adult who loves working with kids, and I am thrilled by the thought of helping a family in need of extra set of hands for their children. Throughout the course of my life, I have had a passion for early child development and the importance for emotional regulation in children. I decided to learn about this passion through internships at early education facilities such as Montessori schools and play based learning institutions, working with children ages 2 to 5 in classroom settings. Working in these environments taught be professionalism, a responsible work ethic, and a genuine love for helping families. I am a reliable, patient, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys providing support for children's growth by leading educational safe environment's where they can thrive. My youthful energy makes it easy for me to connect with children while staying professional, creating a dependable and fun relationship between parents, children and myself. Alongside providing a safe learning environment, I also specialize in helping kids emotionally communicate and regulate their emotions with therapeutic techniques. Through my experience in internships I worked one on one with children who had attention deficits, autism, adhd, and developmental delays which helped me understand that every child has individual needs when it comes to emotional support. I'm attentive to each child's induvial needs, committed to maintaining their routines, and and always willing to offer whatever support I can for the parents. Whether that's a scheduled nap time, planning fun activities, helping with homework, or simply being level headed and calm with the task at hand. I love working with kids because they are the future and it is our job as adults to help shape them into respectable, kind, and smart people so they can build a better tomorrow. I hope that I am able to support your family and make your life 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)."
