Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

I am punctual, hard working, and communicative! I have worked with kids as a party princess and a babysitter. I just got off a cruise ship contract where I worked with the elderly. I have also pet & house sit for animals and spaces of all kinds!

Sophia was wonderful! She arrived on time and she brought some activities for the kids. I loved the way she engaged with them. It’s obvious she has cared for children before and that she genuinely enjoys being with them. She’s also bright and articulate. A super good role model.

Paula $40 per hour for 1 child

Greetings, my name is Paula. I am a nurse by trade with 5 years of experience. Additionally I have 5 years of experience working with children which includes: babysitting, pediatric clinic, vision therapist (for children with misalignments in their eyes, traumatic brain injuries, and to improve hand-eye coordination), and soccer coach. My nursing career has been centered around post-operative patients so I may be useful with post-operative care for an array of surgeries. My personal qualities related to caregiving include being patient, attentive, and engaged. At baseline I am upbeat and would love to encourage outdoor, interactive play, sports and other activities to encourage movement and problem solving. I look forward to assisting your family with child care or elderly care. Thank you, P

"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)."
