Isabella $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Isabella. I am a nurturing and experienced childcare provider, I'm passionate about supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives. With four years of experience, I'm adept at caring for children of various ages, from infants to preteens. My patient and calm personality, coupled with my creativity and friendly approach, helps children feel comfortable and engaged in my care. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and using their preferred method of communication. I believe in following the parents' lead regarding household rules, ensuring consistency and a harmonious environment. I enjoy a variety of games with children, from outdoor sports and physical activities to board games and puzzles. I also incorporate educational games. In addition, I'm a skilled swimmer and I also teach dance and modeling classes that have helped me connect with children. I have worked at a daycare on my free time. I speak two languages English and Spanish.

Booked by 1 family in Tappan, NY

Hi, I'm Shannon! I love working with kids, and have many years of childcare experience. Most recently, I have been nannying a six-month-old infant in Sleepy Hollow, and two toddlers in Irvington, doing lots of storytime and outdoor play. I grew up in Bergen County, NJ, and now live in Nyack, NY. I am currently in grad school part-time at SUNY New Paltz to become a child therapist, and have extensive and varied experiences working with kids aged 1-16, at New Paltz Youth Center, All About Me Early Learning Center in Cresskill, NJ, and Tenafly Nature Center’s nature-based summer camp, in addition to various babysitting, tutoring, and volunteering experiences. I am very interested in working with families on a part-time basis to provide fun, engaging experiences for kids, from infants up to teens. When working with kids, I take into account their strengths, personal interests, and stage of development, and like to build a strong relationship where each child feels respected and supported in various areas of their life. I love integrating each child's unique creativity and understanding of the world into how I work with them on their homework, art projects, and play time. I am also a huge pet lover (I have a cat named Evie), and am available if any pet care is needed. Please reach out if there are any other questions I can answer, I would love to work with you and your family!

chris $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi. I'm Chris, 56 male, Bachelor's degree in Political Science and English. I grew up in Harrison and Mamaroneck. I love kids and I have been told I am very good with them (and patient, especially for a man). I had a job for over a year as a supervisor to two 14 year old autistic twin boys and we all got along great. I have an award for Children's Literature. I can tutor your child and have lots of age appropriate illustrated books to read with any kid. I have given political lectures and tutored at SUNY Purchase, Pace and Lehman Colleges. I have a beautiful fiance named Michele, 44, who lives with me.

Jodi 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

I’m a mom of 23–year old twin girls, and I ran Mom & Baby Infant Development classes for four years. I now babysit for two local families with one toddler each. I’m located in downtown Tarrytown. References upon request.

“Jodi is an amazing sitter! She started caring for our daughter, Rory, when she was about 1 and had a lot of stranger danger. Jodi has a really friendly and joyful way with children and Rory immediately warmed to her. Now whenever Jodi comes over, Rory does a happy dance and is so excited to see her. I can leave the room, get ready upstairs, and then say goodbye without any drama from my very “mommy-centric” toddler. It’s amazing. Jodi sends us lots of photos and videos, and Rory is always laughing, having an amazing time. Can’t recommend Jodi enough, she’s been such a game changer for us, letting us go on dates and actually enjoy them, knowing our daughter is in great hands.”

"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)."
