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)."
