Hello!! My name is Kelis and I’m an active 19-year-old! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as an after-school counselor, where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now, and it has trained me to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and enjoy seeing children have fun and make new memories. I’m currently in college studying sociology with hopes of becoming a social worker in the child care sector. I’m looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and, of course, have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museums would have to be the Museum of Ice Cream and the American Museum of Natural History. I’m currently saving to one day visit Japan, it’s the #1 thing on my bucket list! Outside of childcare, I’m also a signed model! While modeling has been an exciting experience and creative outlet for me, working with children has always been my true passion and the career path I’m most dedicated to pursuing. I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with families while gaining even more experience doing what I love most!

“Kelis was professional, on time, communicated timely, and was easy to work with. She came prepared to entertain our kids and kept them safe. Our kids had a wonderful time with her!”

Booked by 11 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hi! My name is Jessica. I am a recent college graduate with my Bachelor in Health Services Administration. I am a dedicated mom, and a proud pet parent offering child care, pet care, and simple household services. I recently completed my internship at an after school program where I worked with middle school students, helping supervise activities, support events, and assist with daily tasks. I also have previous babysitting experience and understand the importance of creating a safe, patient, and nurturing environment for children. As a pet owner, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide simple household help such as light cleaning and organizing. I am reliable, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and trustworthy care for every family I work with🫶🏼!

Booked by 16 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hi, I'm Mary! I've always loved kids, and find that nothing brings me as much joy as working with them. I have over 13 years of babysitting experience, and over 7 years experience as a nanny/after school sitter. I've worked with almost every age, ranging from 4 months to young teens. I have a degree in Acting/Musical theatre from Carnegie Mellon, and find that my experience "playing pretend" has lent itself quite well to working with children, as they have the best imaginations of us all. I'm vaxxed/boosted, and also love all animals.

"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
