Hi! My name is Liselot, but I mainly go by Liz. I’m 23 years old, a college student, and a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I work as a Behavior Technician in ABA therapy, providing one-on-one support to a child primarily in a home setting, with occasional sessions at an ABA center. Through my work, I’ve gained experience supporting children with challenging behaviors, following individualized routines and goals, encouraging independence, and developing communication skills. I also have experience using an AAC device with a non-speaking child. I also have babysitting experience with children ranging from toddlers to school age. I enjoy keeping children engaged through arts and crafts, reading and storytelling, educational activities, outdoor play, and age-appropriate games. I’m comfortable helping with meals, clean-up, bedtime routines, and keeping children on their usual schedule. I’m studying Early Childhood Education and plan to transition into Speech-Language Pathology in the fall, if all goes well. I’m especially interested in child development, communication, and helping children build confidence and independence. I’m looking for occasional babysitting opportunities that I can work around my school and ABA schedule. I’d be happy to do an in-person or FaceTime interview so we can get to know each other and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

“Liz had great communication and very reliable!”

Hello Parents, My name is Patricia, im a Studio Art college graduate and originally from Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. My childcare experience began at the age of 11. Living with both my aunts and uncles under one roof, babysitting my younger cousins wasn't a job it was apart of my life. Before graduating from college, I studied abroad in South Korea. where I taught English as a second language in winter/summer camps for younger learners (age range: 5-10). For the past four and half years, I have had the opportunity to care for children varying in age from 2 1/2 months to 11 years old from UrbanSitter since 2012 and working as an on-call nanny for Bright Horizons agency for 4 years. Currently work as Special Education D75 Paraprofessional for the DOE. Working with Children with ADHD and Autism. What I like most about babysitting is developing activities that focus of creative exploration like coloring, drawing, painting, legos, imaginary story telling, stage play, and going on library/park/ museum outings. I also love reading and sing songs. In my free time, I love practicing Yoga, dance, and reading.

“Patricia was excellent! She asked good questions ahead of time to make sure she knew what was expected of her during her care of my cats. She followed up regularly with updates and pictures.”

Hi my name is Lorenza! I’m a recent college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and marketing communications and a minor in design, and I’ve spent over four years working as a professional nanny through an agency. I’ve cared for children from three weeks old up to fifteen years old, and I love being part of their everyday lives — watching them grow, learn new skills, and reach milestones is incredibly rewarding. I take a hands on, creative approach to nannying, making sure to include activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and active games, while always following the family’s priorities! I really enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with the children I care for and their families, and I find that patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude make every day both fun and meaningful. I am CPR certified for infants and adults and prioritize safety while keeping children active, curious, and supported. I recently moved to NYC and am excited to connect with families looking for a responsible, energetic caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with kids!

"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)."
