Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two, I understand firsthand the trust, patience and love it takes to nurture and guide children through every stage of development. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of caring for children of various ages, helping them grow in a safe, engaging and loving environment. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. CPR and First Aid certified which adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing you, the parent to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while helping your children thrive, learn, and create joyful memories every day. I look forward to building meaningful connections with families and providing the loving, dependable care every child deserves.

Aleisha is lovely; punctual, warm, proactive and visibly comfortable communicating as well as interacting with kids.

Hi, I'm April! I'm 26 years old, born and raised in Brooklyn, and currently living in the Bronx. I've been working with children for over 9 years, and caring for kids has always been something I truly enjoy. I'm patient, well-organized, and love creating fun, engaging experiences while still maintaining structure and safety. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy baking, spending time with my cats , and exploring new places in and out of the city. I am also CPR & First Aid trained, and have a Food Handlers Certification. I'm currently learning Spanish as well. Whether its helping with daily routines, coming up with creative activities , or just being a trusted and responsible caregiver, I put genuine care and effort into everything I do. My rates are negotiable!

Hi! My name is Thaina, and I am currently entering my last semester at California Polytechnic State University, where I am studying Architecture. I am seeking a weekly and occasional babysitting job for the upcoming year. I have over ten years of experience working with children, beginning by caring for my younger siblings. I later expanded my experience by tutoring at weekend schools and college. Most recently, I have focused on babysitting elementary and middle school-aged children. Being the oldest sibling, I have always been surrounded by kids and genuinely love their sweet innocence and fun energy. I am naturally energetic and committed to ensuring your children have a memorable and enjoyable experience! If the weather is nice, I would love to take the kids to the park or participate in outdoor activities. If we need to stay indoors, I can bring out my arts and crafts supplies to create fun projects together. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and painting. I look forward to the opportunity of working with your family!

Very kind, on time, great with kids!

Hi! I am Heloísa, nice to meet you I am dedicated to my work and give one hundred percent to everything I do. I have been working with children since I was fifteen years old and have extensive experience in the field. Taking care of a child is much more than just a job, but rather a learning experience aimed at always building a bond of trust and care with the family and the child. I also offer other services such as cleaning/organizing and pet care. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to my profile!

Highly recommend Heloisa. She was super nice with my son Noah and she kept me updated the whole time.

"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)."
