Aastha Kearny
$25 per hour for 1 child

I am a prospective medical student with a masters in biomedical sciences and about 5 years of healthcare experience working with patients of all ages and demographics. I’ve done rotations at hospitals that focused on working with children with developmental disabilities and as a result have developed the skill set to handle children with care, encourage growth and provide a safe, healthy and productive space for them. I have my own little rescue kitty named Olive that made her place in our family but I love all kinds of animals and look forward to adopting a dog soon! Outside of my work, I am a very outdoorsy person, often swimming, biking, running and hiking on the weekends- my coolest hike has been to Machu Picchu, Peru. I’m able to work with children and pets of all energy levels and would love to indulge them in activities if required. In the home, I am more than willing to complete tasks related to caring for the children and pets.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m excited to connect with a loving family looking for a reliable and caring babysitter. I am a preschool teacher working in the Park Slope area, and I’m seeking work for the summer and possibly long term. I have five years of hands-on experience working with children ages 2–5, both in daycare classrooms and through babysitting for several of my students. My background in early childhood education has given me strong skills in supporting children’s growth, guiding positive behavior, and creating a warm, structured environment. I’m a certified teacher in NYS and I have my first aid and cpr training completed. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Art, which I love incorporating into my time with children, whether that’s through creative activities, sensory play, or simple arts and crafts. I truly enjoy spending time with children, getting to know their personalities, and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, and playful, while also maintaining routines and ensuring your child’s well-being. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a fun, nurturing experience for your little ones!

Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

Hello, welcome to my page! I'm Ashley. I am 33 years old. I have been around children all my life, helping with babysitting and tending to my nieces and nephews and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am also a mother of a beautiful five year old and she's just the best thing ever. Watching her learn and grow is so exciting and it's definitely given me a deeper appreciation for children. Having a child of my own, I cannot help but spread that same nurturing and love to other children. I treat every child as if they were my own. On a more professional note, I have worked with intellectually and developmentally disabled children, young adults, and seniors. I have over 10 years of experience in that department and in that job, I have performed household chores, cooking, and cleaning, and teaching academics. I also did Dog Boarding for several years. I had over 20 repeat clients and always achieved a 5-star rating. I love love love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I will provide my services with professionalism and efficiency. I have a passion for giving and making sure anyone in my care, feels that sense of love, safety, and nurturing.

Ashely is such an amazing warm and professional caretaker. I would highly recommend Ashley to other families!

I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.

"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)."
