Hi, I'm April! I'm 28 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 families! I’m a sitter with many years of childcare experience and a background in behavioral therapy. I earned my degree from the University of San Francisco and spent two years working in behavioral therapy, supporting children with diverse needs. Originally from New York and raised in Los Angeles, I spent the past six years in Oregon before recently moving to New Jersey. I’m excited to connect with local families and offer reliable, compassionate care. I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I’m looking for part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities while I get settled in the area.

**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS - FALL/WINTER 2026** HEY! I'm Harrison. I’m actively looking for gigs in the Fall and beyond. I'm available for logistic-satisfying hangs, orchestrating grand adventures, date night coverage, and more. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, would love to connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn ~5 years ago to manage a giant rock climbing gym. I've worked with kids a ton in climbing gyms over the last 10 years, from running summer camps to making birthday parties awesome. After leaving my role last year, I transitioned to sitting/nannying in an attempt to reclaim joy in my work life-- and it's been a blast so far. I like climbing, games (video, board, word, active, other), telling riddles + jokes (ask me about street sweepers!) building things, cooking, soccer, swimming, and riding my bike excessive distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show-- I still love filming/editing fun videos with the kids I sit for (*movie magic*)! I'm CPR / first aid certified and generally skilled at balancing fun and safety in childcare settings. I'm a skilled driver, though I do not currently own a car. Beyond just sitting, I'm happy to support with: -homework help! I used to student teach / tutor English back in high school, and I am generally math-proficient. -meal prep! I chef 95% of my apartmenthold's meals right now, and I love to cook. -climbing! Wanna learn the ropes or just give it a try? I'm your guy. -pet care! I live with 3 cats (1 mine, 2 my girlfriend’s) and I care for dogs of friends & clients regularly. Hope to hear from you!

"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."

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)."
