Hi! My name is Josephine, and I’m a nursing student from Queens, NY. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, and am comfortable helping with everything from playtime and bedtime routines to homework and tutoring! I enjoy reading, singing, dancing, doing crafts, playing guitar, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. I have reliable transportation and am happy to help with school pick-ups, activities, errands, housekeeping, laundry, and anything else that helps make your day easier. I’m also happy to care for both dogs and cats! I previously earned my American Red Cross Babysitting and CPR certification and am currently renewing my CPR certification. I always give my best to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I look forward to meeting your family!

“She is an amazing babysitter! She is incredibly sweet, caring, attentive, and trustworthy, and I always felt completely comfortable leaving my child in her care. She also went above and beyond by helping around the house, which was such a huge help. My child had a great time with her, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a dependable and caring babysitter.”

Amani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amani, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children and families. I have experience caring for children ages 3–17, including children with autism, as well as caring for elderly individuals. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children in someone else’s care. I always strive to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment while making sure children feel heard, supported, and cared for. I enjoy doing age-appropriate activities with children such as arts and crafts, reading, playing games, going for walks, and simply spending quality time together. I’m also comfortable helping with routines, meals, keeping children entertained, and making sure they are safe and comfortable throughout the day. I currently work part-time with a family that I have been with for about two years, and I’m happy to provide a reference from them. I’m reliable, flexible, patient, and genuinely enjoy working with children. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, going for walks, attending Bible studies, and trying new activities. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing your child with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own family.

"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)."
