Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a Registered Nurse with over 3.5 years of experience working in a Level 1 Trauma Emergency Department. Before beginning my nursing career, I spent more than 10 years caring for children of all ages through babysitting, nannying, and as a swim instructor. I’m a kind, warm, patient, and dependable caregiver who loves creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy building meaningful connections with every family I work with. Safety is always my top priority. I am CPR certified and hold both BLS (Basic Life Support) and ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) certifications. I’m happy to help beyond childcare as well, including: - Light housekeeping and tidying - Children’s laundry - Meal and snack preparation - Running errands - Arts and crafts - Outdoor activities and active play I’m reliable, organized, energetic, and genuinely love working with children.

Suzanne $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Suzanne and I'm offering child care, cooking, household services, and any last minute overnights you might need for an adults night off! Living in Brooklyn, I enjoy staying active, whether it's a nice outdoor walk, or thinking up a fun indoor activity. My college degree was in educational psychology. I've been certified by Karma Kids to teach kids yoga, and enjoy many forms of movement & art making. Probably the most fun thing in my background was volunteering 6 years with Free Arts NYC, while working FT, and finding different ways to allow creativity to engage, empower, & have fun. I really enjoy babysitting and working with kids, making sure parents can feel at ease. I have watched all ages and have decades of experience and fun skills to offer. Open to drop offs + pick-ups via walking/subway/driving from school and activities, figuring out activities, crafts, and tutoring. I can also offer household assistance, meal prep, cleaning, and running errands. I'd love to see how I can brighten up your child and family's day!

Hi! My name is Ana and I am a warm, reliable, and energetic nanny with experience caring for children of different ages. I love creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and truly enjoy their time with me. I enjoy activities such as reading stories, pretend play, arts and crafts, hide-and-seek, outdoor adventures, and trips to the park. My goal is to create fun, positive, and meaningful experiences while helping children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I can also assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, cooking for children, organizing play areas, running errands, and accompanying children to appointments or activities when needed. I speak Spanish and have a basic to intermediate level of English. I would also be happy to help children learn or practice Spanish in a fun and natural way.

Flordina $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Flordina and I am currently a nursing student with childcare experience. I used to take care of children since I was 12 years old including newborns, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience with kids of different ages and made me love being around kids even more. I am patient, caring, and responsible, and I always do my best to make children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I love spending time with kids and keeping them engaged with fun and creative activities like storytelling, drawing, games, talking with them, and keeping them entertained in a safe and positive environment. And also helping with homework, daily routines, cooking etc. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer childcare services and am also willing to help with light household tasks when needed. I love kids and I enjoy helping families and creating a warm, loving, and trustworthy environment for the kids in my care.

"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)."
