Kaele $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaele and I am 26 years old. I have my bachelors in Psychology and am planning on becoming a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I have always been good with kids and I proved that when I decided to babysit. Eventually I started working at an elementary school and worked as an aide for special needs kids. I worked with 3-6 year olds for 2 years and am looking to continue working with kids in general. I am reliable, friendly and most importantly respectful. Kids love to spend time with me because of my calm nature and I find ways to keep them happy, safe and entertained. I have experience with many different age groups due to finding babysitting jobs as part times after high school! I enjoyed every second. My duties included driving/picking up from school, take kids to activities, play, make sure they eat and do their homework. I also have helped out with homework and light housekeeping.

I’m attentive to children’s needs, reliable with schedules, and able to handle routines like meals, homework, bedtime, and light housekeeping. I also like keeping kids engaged with creative activities like games, reading, and crafts instead of just screen time. Parents can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and focused on their child’s well-being at all times.

Stella $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am Stella, a Brooklyn-based (am happy to commute around the city) caregiver and recent college graduate with over 8 years of experience, primarily working with children ages 2-12. I’m an extremely patient and compassionate babysitter, who values communication with both kids and parents. I have experience with children experiencing neurodivergence and de-escalating big emotions with care, understanding, and speaking to children as equals. I prioritize safety/health, trust-building, and emotional well-being; minimizing screen-time and favoring outdoor activities, indulging in our imagination, art-making, learning, and hands-on activities. I’m an artist who loves dance, crafting, reading & writing, nature walks, and grounding exercises to calm down after a long day. I walk or take public transportation, am learning Italian and Spanish, and am extremely happy to cook healthy meals, clean, run errands, commute to various activities, and care for dogs and cats. I bring warmth, curiosity, joy, and love to every home I work with. I would love to chat and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

"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)."
