Abby $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a master's student, attending Berklee NYC. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. In the past few years, I have grown my childcare experience greatly. I was a counselor for 3 years, before being promoted to run the before and after school programs at a local elementary school, and eventually moving into a teen advisor role with the YMCA. In my time I worked with children ages 4-18. I was a live-in nanny for a family with 4 children, ages 3, 7, 9, and 13, and this past summer before I started school I was a nanny for a 6-month-old, 2-year-old, and 6-year-old. I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified, and I also have my Emergency Medication Administration training. I am patient and reliable, and I can provide references.

Cynthia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cynthia and I am a recent graduate from Cornell University. A little bit about myself: I’m the youngest and only daughter of an immigrant family of five. Since graduating, a major part of my life has been dedicated to my supporting my parents as they approach retirement. I handle the cooking and meal prep to make sure the whole family is eating healthy. Outside of home, I’m a youth leader at my church. I spend my time coaching young adults, and helping the children’s ministry, which involves leading weekly meetings and planning fun events that bring the youth together. I am offering childcare, senior care, and household cleaning/organization, however, I am skilled in many things including hair styling, swimming, sewing, singing, fitness, reading, and did I mention cooking? (I can also tutor and help with learning)

"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)."
