$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in New York, NY

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from SDSU in Psychology with a focus in child development. I am a preschool/afterschool program teacher working with infants up to school-age. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home development specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 who needed a little extra support or those with developmental delays. I assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities - focusing on fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication skills, and more. I additionally have experience working with children with special needs and developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, children with feeding needs/allergies, and SMA type 1. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am a proud owner of two cats and I love animals and the outdoors. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you!!

Chris $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello All, My name is Chris and my experience is vast when it comes to children and child's play. I've mastered the fine art of herding cats—also known as teaching at a Montessori school. There, I became a connoisseur of child-sized furniture and The Montessori techniques. Learning to listen to kids and teaching and meeting them where they are. When I'm not busy turning chaos into calm, you'll find me performing as a party performer at kids' parties, transforming into everything from a pirate to superheros, keeping the little ones entertained for hours. As a professional actor, as seen on Netflix and Amazon, I’m always ready to dive into make-believe with any willing child, whether it’s leading a daring quest for hidden treasure or hosting a royal tea party. Basically, I'm a professional fun-haver, dedicated to making kids' days a little brighter and a lot more magical!

Guin $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Guinevere (or Guin for short), and I am a 22 recent graduate of the George Washington University. I graduated magna cum laude with two BA's in Journalism and Photography. I'm originally from Chicago and currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and love working with kids. I was an overnight camp counselor for 2 years in Newaygo, MI and learned so much from that experience. As someone who grew up with sleep anxiety as a kid, I learned how to calm kids down from panic attacks and use different soothing techniques to help them get to bed. After my time at Newaygo, I worked as a day camp counselor and art teacher at Lillstreet Arts Center in Chicago for 4 years. I have a background in art, singing, theatre, dance and more. I would love to do crafts with your kiddos and help them find new ways to express themselves! I would be happy to teach music to any little one who has an interest in learning as well :) I love to cook (and I'd like to say I'm pretty good) and would be happy to make meals for your family. I love pets of all kinds and would be very open to dog walking. I look forward to making connections with your lovely families/communities! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Ulla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Ulla! I'm 24, and offering childcare, pet care, and household help! I’m a patient, engaged caregiver who's worked with babies, to kids as old as 14. I have experience as a tutor and classical education (I can help with even Latin homework!). I love spending time at museums, parks, and engaging kids through art (drawing, crafts, etc) and being silly. Growing up with two younger siblings taught me my basics-- patience, responsibility, and how to manage routines and sibling dynamics. I have cared for kids individually, and in groups of up to four. I try not to use my phone during care unless necessary, and prioritize safety and routine! Driver's license, CPR and Heimlich.

"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)."
