Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Maria. I am a mom to a 32-year old adult with autism. As a special ed teacher, I have worked with many children with special needs helping them with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc) behavioral and communication adaptations. I can take children to school or other appointments, as well as assist them with homework. I live on the Upper East side and am available to work twice a week. I am allergic to animals so I cannot work in households with pets. I do not speak Spanish. I consider myself to be an organized, compassionate, patient and trustworthy person. I prefer to work with seniors or no more than two kids aged 2 and above.

Wen $30 per hour for 1 child

⸻ Hi, my name is Wendolyn and I’m a responsible, caring, and enthusiastic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 20 years of experience caring for kids of various ages—from infants to 7 years old and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’m reliable, patient, and creative, and I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities like games, reading, arts and crafts, and outdoor play. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, preparing light meals, and maintaining routines like nap time or bedtime. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m also trained in basic first aid and CPR and First Aid I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and give your children a positive and enjoyable experience while you’re away. ⸻

"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)."
