Azra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Azra, and I’m a college student in New York City. I’m a dependable, patient, and friendly caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or simply keeping kids engaged, I’m happy to help make your family’s day a little easier. I’ve worked in customer service for several years, which has taught me responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm under pressure. I’m comfortable helping with meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, and keeping routines organized. I’m also happy to assist with homework and creative activities, especially drawing, painting, and other arts and crafts. I’m currently attending college while working, so I understand the importance of being reliable, punctual, and respectful of every family’s unique routine. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and have fun.

Kaele $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaele and I am 26 years old. I have my bachelors in Psychology and am planning on becoming a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I have always been good with kids and I proved that when I decided to babysit. Eventually I started working at an elementary school and worked as an aide for special needs kids. I worked with 3-6 year olds for 2 years and am looking to continue working with kids in general. I am reliable, friendly and most importantly respectful. Kids love to spend time with me because of my calm nature and I find ways to keep them happy, safe and entertained. I have experience with many different age groups due to finding babysitting jobs as part times after high school! I enjoyed every second. My duties included driving/picking up from school, take kids to activities, play, make sure they eat and do their homework. I also have helped out with homework and light housekeeping.

Audrey $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi My name Is Audrey, I am a Theatre major at BMCC. I am offering childcare and senior care services. I used to be a camp counselor at a summer camp. For 9 weeks in the summer I had 9 different cabins each week of at least 12 kids. I took care of kids from ages 8 to 16. I led them in various outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, swimming, frisbee, and the list goes on! My responsibilities included teaching my campers outdoor skills, keeping them on track with the schedule, and inspiring each camper to be the best selves they can be. I worked at this camp for two summers from 2[removed]. Then I lived at home for a year before moving to New York and I babysat on the weekends in Tulsa Oklahoma for a family with two kids 8 and 10. My responsibilities included driving the kids to the park, driving them to soccer practice, cooking lunch and dinner, and general housekeeping. During this same year, I worked as a housekeeper then as a concierge at a retirement home that had a skilled nursing and an assisted living center. I worked all of these jobs and saved up my money to move to New York in August of 2024. Since moving to New York I've worked various service industry jobs and took a break from the service industry to start school. Now that I'm in school I've decided to hop back into childcare and or senior care. I also grew up with 3 dogs and I currently live with and take care of my roommate's cat so I am happy to work for families with pets!

"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)."
