Alejandra 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Alejandra. I am a costume designer and a naturalized American citizen, originally from Colombia. I moved to New York eight years ago and have been involved in the art world since I was a teenager. I love good music, visiting museums, hiking, going for walks, and appreciating the simple joys of life. Babysitting was my first job when I moved to the U.S., and to this day, it remains my favorite job. I truly enjoy the company of kids—their humor, creativity, and sense of freedom. I have about two years of professional experience, not including a lifetime of caring for my little cousins. I would love to have a child of my own one day, and I will care for your kids the way I would want my future babysitter to care for mine. Sincerely, Alejandra

I have known Alejandra for almost 17 years and she has covered several times for her mom babysitting my children who adored her and she has also worked for my business for several years. I highly recommend her as a babysitter!

Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

My name is Marie and I live in New York City. I am an experienced and dependable childcare provider with over 4 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have a Master’s degree in Public Health, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, health, and wellbeing. I previously worked as a daycare assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting young children. My responsibilities included changing diapers, feeding, preparing and washing bottles, helping with nap time, leading circle time, reading books, organizing age-appropriate activities, assisting with schoolwork, preparing snacks, and safely accompanying children to and from school. I truly enjoy working with children and being part of their growth and development. I love creating a safe and encouraging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I am focused, patient, versatile, caring, and dependable. Outside of childcare, I love going to museums, music concerts and reading books. I also speak French and English.

Marie has been very helpful and reliable for us in taking care of a lot of chores around the house regularly!

Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I am a 23 year old student studying at New York City college of Technology. I speak Spanish and have over six years of experience in child supervision! My journey began as a summer camp counselor at the age of 17, later becoming a afterschool counselor. As an elementary school counselor my responsibilities have been to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all the children, leading arts and crafts activities and providing homework assistance. Watching them learn, grow, and get excited about new things makes working with children enjoyable. I also have over 2 years of sitting experience! Growing up as the oldest sister of two and cousin to two younger kids, I’ve always been a nurturing role model. I am fully vaccinated and willing to provide proof. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you!!

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from SDSU in Psychology with a focus in child development. I am a preschool/afterschool program teacher working with infants up to school-age. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home development specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 who needed a little extra support or those with developmental delays. I assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities - focusing on fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication skills, and more. I additionally have experience working with children with special needs and developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, children with feeding needs/allergies, and SMA type 1. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am a proud owner of two cats and I love animals and the outdoors. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting 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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
