Kathryn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kathryn, or Kat for short. I grew up between Nantucket, Massachusetts and Western Massachusetts and am now located in Brooklyn! I've been working with kids for ten years, between babysitting, teaching classes at my local community theater and nannying during college summers. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with my B.A. in Musical Theatre and Psychology in 2023, and now work in theatre in the city as well as assisting at a youth theatre company back home. I love art, music, cooking and having dance parties whenever possible. I've worked with kiddos from ages 2-13, am CPR certified, and believe in a loving, nurturing environment to fuel children's imagination and creativity. If you think I would be a good fit for what your family and children need, I'd love to chat!

Evangeline $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evangeline and I am currently focusing on my creative skills as I transition out of my engineering career. I offer child care and household support with patience, reliability, and strong problem-solving and communication skills. I have been working with children since I was 13, including babysitting multiple kids, teaching Sunday school, and leading summer STEM programs for teens. In my previous role as an engineer, I also provided support and care to children, who had various seizure disorders, during their EEG tests. I’m adaptable and welcome children with ASD, although I haven’t taken care of those at the higher level, I grew up with a sibling on the spectrum and have several friends with ASD, as well. I enjoy all kinds of activities, including crafts, music, outdoor play, tutoring, reading, and creative projects, and I bring my experience as an artist to make activities engaging and fun. I have all of the required children’s clearances for working with kids, which I obtained for my professional work. I have also helped with household management, including meal prep, cleaning, and organizing. While I do not typically offer pet care, I am open depending on the situation. I enjoy creating a safe and supportive environment for children and helping families with their daily routines and needs. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Jude

Hi there! I have years of childcare experience for children of all ages. I have cared for infants and toddlers, and have also worked as an assistant teacher in a fourth grade classroom. Beyond my classroom and private care experience, I have taught guitar and bass to children of all ages, so if your child is interested in learning an instrument I can offer that as a bonus! On the whole, I am creative, caring and highly attentive. I know how to keep kids entertained without relying on technology. Coming up with art projects is my specialty, so if your child loves making things I'm here to help!

"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)."
