Dardan $50 per hour for 1 child

I'm a patient, practical, and creative tutor eager to help. I'm a current masters student at Columbia University Teacher's College, NY DOE English Teacher, and tutor currently open to various kinds of work. Though I take my role as an educator seriously, I consider myself personable and want to help others find the joy in learning. I have experience working with students as young as 4 to college-level adults. Though I specialize in English, I have also taught music, mathematics, and physics, and I'm flexible with learning other subjects as well. If you are interested, I'm happy to speak with you over the phone and share more about myself, including my methods of assessment, schoolwork strategies, and pedagogical philosophy.

Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! I'm Anuradha! I offer dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting! I have grown up with my family dog, taking him for walks, feeding him and dog sitting. I absolutely love dogs and how sweet they are! I am careful, loyal, dependable and make sure that the dog gets enough exercise and fully completed their potty time before ending their walk.

Anuradha is a great petsitter - she was very professional, gave me updates with photos and vidoes of my dog during her sit, was able to handle the active behavior of my foster puppy, and was always prompt in replies. I would recommend Anuradha for anyone looking for a petsitter.

Hi, my name is Leidy. I am 29 years old, and I have been a nanny for about 4 years. I started this nanny career as an au pair for about two years. Then, I started working with families in NYC. That being said, I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and big kids. I really love being a nanny. I find myself very connected with kids. I love caring about them and teaching them new skills. Love seeing them grow! I have a bachelor's degree and also I am fluent in Spanish. I hope we can meet soon!

Andrea $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Andrea and I’m a lifeguard and a swim instructor at the YMCA. I’m certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I also have an extra certification in teaching kids with disabilities such as ADHD or autism. I’ve been a swim instructor at the ymca for about two years now and have taught kids of different ages and backgrounds. I understand how draining it can be to take care of kids, which is why I’d like to be of help to parents who are overworked or even might just need some time for self-care. I also have a lot of experience with pets and especially cats. I've done a lot of research about pet care on my own time since I own two cats who I greatly care for. I’m definitely open to feeding, walking, or playing with pets. They deserve just as much attention and time as kids! I can cook as well but I am more confident when it comes to vegan/vegetarian recipes. However, I’m open to learning any new kinds of recipes that are out of my comfort zone.

"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)."
