Nubia West New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Amparo, a Linguistics and Literature graduate with a genuine passion for working with children. I currently work with CHDFS (Center for Human Development and Family Services), providing one-on-one support to children with special needs. I focus on helping them build social, emotional, and independence skills through patient guidance, empathy, and structured activities. I’m also a certified lifeguard, trained in First Aid and CPR, which reinforces my commitment to ensuring every child’s safety and well-being at all times. My native language is Spanish, and I truly enjoy sharing my language and culture with the families I support. I’d love the opportunity to discuss how my experience and care can contribute to your family’s needs and help your children grow and thrive.

Evangeline New York
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evangeline and I am currently focusing on my creative skills as I transition out of my engineering career. I offer child care and household support with patience, reliability, and strong problem-solving and communication skills. I have been working with children since I was 13, including babysitting multiple kids, teaching Sunday school, and leading summer STEM programs for teens. In my previous role as an engineer, I also provided support and care to children, who had various seizure disorders, during their EEG tests. I’m adaptable and welcome children with ASD, although I haven’t taken care of those at the higher level, I grew up with a sibling on the spectrum and have several friends with ASD, as well. I enjoy all kinds of activities, including crafts, music, outdoor play, tutoring, reading, and creative projects, and I bring my experience as an artist to make activities engaging and fun. I have all of the required children’s clearances for working with kids, which I obtained for my professional work. I have also helped with household management, including meal prep, cleaning, and organizing. While I do not typically offer pet care, I am open depending on the situation. I enjoy creating a safe and supportive environment for children and helping families with their daily routines and needs. Looking forward to connecting with you!

"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)."
