Hi families! My name is Natasha, and I recently graduated from Bank Street College of Education with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I have experience working as a preschool teacher, nanny, babysitter, and in after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and needs, including school pickup/drop-off, evening care, overnight care, and weekend babysitting. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, including autism, sensory processing differences, and deafblindness. My background in early childhood and special education helps me create a patient, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel safe and encouraged to grow. I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, sensory activities, and outdoor adventures. One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching their confidence, creativity, and curiosity grow as they learn about the world around them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, building Legos, and visiting museums. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Natasha arrived on time and enthusiastic to care for our son. She kept him entertained with many activities and stuck to his daily schedule. She sent updates during the day to keep us reassured. Would definitely book her again!”

Hi families, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Tamyia. I’m currently finishing my last semester for my in Human Services degree. I have 6 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and doing different routine routines for families. One of my favorite parts about babysitting is the relationships I get to build with both the children and their families. I really enjoy being someone families can rely on and helping out wherever I’m needed. I would describe myself as patient, creative, and easy to get along with. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor activities, board games, and fun educational games. I always try to create a safe and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, and I’m also interested in transitioning into a full-time role over the summer where I can build a stronger, long-term connection with a family.

“Absolutely responsive, kids loved her, and was able to soothe my teething baby. Would definitely recommend and hire again.”

"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)."
