Amelia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a mom to a 3 year old boy looking to help you with your babysitting needs. In terms of experience, I have discovered my love of caring for children with my own son, and I have also previously fostered a dog several years ago. Would be happy to facilitate drop off / pickup from daycare, preschool, or school with your child(ren) safe & secure in my 4-seater, 5-point-harness wonderfold wagon (with rain cover). I hold a BA in English Literature and would also love to read with your child. Happy to cook/clean or do errands if you need. Note: My 3 year old would only join us if you need help evenings, weekends, or on days when his preschool is closed.

I have also worked as a camp counselor in Massachusetts, South Dakota, and Chile, which has allowed me to connect with many different children with different backgrounds, expanding my ability to be a good caretaker.

DaNyla $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hello, my name is DaNyla, and I am genuinely passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I am a warm, cheerful, and caring individual who values creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child in my care. I enjoy introducing new activities, encouraging creativity, and ensuring that children feel both supported and entertained throughout the day. I bring three years of hands-on experience working with children between the ages of 3 and 11. During this time, I have worked in two preschools as well as two middle schools, which has allowed me to gain a strong understanding of different developmental needs, learning styles, and behavioral approaches. My background has helped me develop patience, clear communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s personality. I also have personal experience caring for infants. My sister has a young child, and I frequently help her with babysitting. This has made me very comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and general infant care. Along with childcare, I am able to assist with light household responsibilities, including tidying up, laundry, and preparing simple meals. I believe in maintaining an organized, clean environment and supporting families in any way that keeps their day running smoothly. I am dedicated, dependable, and enthusiastic about providing quality care. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and positive energy to your home while ensuring your children feel safe, valued, and happy.

"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)."
