Christine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Christine and I am a 26 year old, NYC based actor and nanny! I am originally from San Francisco, CA but moved to New York in April of this year. I am offering child care and pet sitting. I love children and have been a babysitter since the age of 16. When I was a teenager, I watched over infants, toddlers, and middle school aged children. My past responsibilities as a nanny included cooking meals, crafts and activities (my acting experience was a major attribute in this department ◡̈) nighttime routines, and tidying up before the parents got home. I am also an aunt to a wonderful, seven year old boy, and have been helping look after him from childbirth. I am also very comfortable in the kitchen and can accommodate for any dietary restrictions or allergies the children may have. I am a very kind, communicative and honest individual who would be comfortable watching anywhere from 1-3 kids at a time. Additionally, I am interested in pet care! I have grown up with dogs all of my life, and am also a verified Rover dog-sitter/walker. If you have any questions or would like to connect, please reach out!

Hi, I’m Eiliany! 👋 A caring, patient, and dependable babysitter with over 4 years of professional childcare experience, including 2 years of dedicated babysitting experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I support children with autism and other developmental needs.

I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves. 👶 My Babysitting Experience I have hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I’m comfortable with: • Bottle feeding and preparing meals/snacks • Diaper changes and infant care • Nap and bedtime routines • Bathing and getting children ready for the day • Homework help • Reading and storytelling • Arts and crafts • Games and age-appropriate activities • Outdoor play and trips to the park • Supporting children with routines and transitions • Light housekeeping related to the children • Following each family’s parenting style and instructions I always aim to make children feel safe, heard, supported, and cared for while also making sure they have fun! ⭐ Qualifications • CPR Certified • Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) • OCFS 15-Hour Health & Safety Certified • Over 4 years of professional childcare experience • 2 years of babysitting experience • Currently studying Speech Pathology at Bronx Community College (A.A.S., expected 2027) Studying Speech Pathology is especially meaningful to me because I love helping children develop their communication, confidence, and independence. 💕 A Little About Me Outside of work and school, I enjoy going to the gym, cooking healthy meals, reading, and spending time with family. I especially enjoy reading books with children, doing arts and crafts, playing games, and coming up with creative activities that encourage learning. I’m also pet friendly! 🐾 As a cat owner, I understand how important it is to provide pets with loving and attentive care while following each family’s instructions.

"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)."
