Jemima $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Jemima, a Human Biology student at Hunter College with plans to become a nurse and pediatric speech-language pathologist. Some fun facts about myself are that I am a self-taught guitarist, enjoy reading, and love working with children. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and enjoyable environment where kids can learn/ grow and feel comfortable. I have experience caring for children, from toddlers through middle school ages through summer camp programs, assisting in a kindergarten classroom, volunteering at Vacation Bible School at my church, daycare, and babysitting my younger cousin. I'm happy to help with homework as I love to learn, prepare crafts, games, and meals in addition to bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged while parents are away. I am an incredibly creative person and love to help with any household tasks. I am CPR/AED certified for both infants/children and adults, and safety is always my top priority. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, responsible, and attentive to each child's individual needs. These experiences working with kids have strengthened my passion for not only supporting children's growth and well-being but also wanting to pursue a career working with the pediatric population as I know I can make a difference. I'm happy to commute throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, and I'd love the opportunity to support your family!

Kristen $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kristen, and I would describe myself as caring, kind, and loving. I truly enjoy working with children and teens because of how genuine, creative, and full of potential they are. Growing up, I often cared for my nephews and nieces, and when my mom had my younger sister, I naturally stepped into a “second mom” role. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the ability to connect with children of different ages. I hold a college degree and I am CPR certified, which I believe provides an added sense of trust and security for families. Over the years, I have gained experience in babysitting, tutoring, and companion care, as well as pet sitting and light household support. I am also bilingual (English/Spanish), which I find to be a great advantage when helping children with language learning or schoolwork. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, going to the park, listening to music, trying new things, and going on little adventures. I am dependable, organized, and respectful, and one thing you should know about me is that I will care for your children as if they were my own. I am excited about the opportunity to become part of your family and to share not only my support and skills but also my warmth and dedication. I look forward to the chance to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children while learning from your culture and sharing mine.

"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)."
