Joelle $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Joelle Guy. I’m 28 years old and a graduate of FIT in NYC, where I studied fashion and interior design. Alongside my creative freelance work, I’ve been nannying and providing childcare support for the past three years. I’m a very creative, nurturing, and energetic person who loves building meaningful connections with the families I work with. Outside of work, I love gardening and have my own urban garden, and I’m passionate about music, painting, arts and crafts, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy bringing those interests into my caregiving style to create fun, enriching, and engaging experiences for children. I offer childcare, babysitting, household support, senior support and dog-sitting/ house-sitting support. Child Care I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school aged children. I currently freelance nanny and babysit for multiple families in Brooklyn, including caring for a 1 year old girl, as well as a 6 year old girl and 4 year old boy. From May 2023 through October 2024, I worked as a part time nanny for a family with a 3 year old girl in Brooklyn Heights and Westchester. I love creating fun, creative, and educational activities for children. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, painting and creative projects, baking and cooking together, outdoor adventures and nature walks, visiting gardens and identifying plants, reading and imaginative play, sports and active play, and music and singing. I’m very creative and artistic, with experience in painting, design, music, and cooking. I love creative learning, meal preparation, and teaching children through hands on activities. I also play basketball, practice yoga, and enjoy encouraging healthy and active lifestyles. I have several years of hands on childcare experience working closely with families in NYC. You can also add CPR or First Aid certifications here if applicable. Senior Care: While most of my professional experience has been focused on childcare and household support, I’m a compassionate, patient, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others feel comfortable and supported. Pet Care: I have a 4 year old Mini Dachshund, so I am very familiar with the effort and care that goes into taking care of a beloved pet. They really are members of the family and should be treated as such.

Ana 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Ana, and I am a dedicated caregiver with both personal and professional experience in child care. As a mother of three children, I bring a deep understanding of child development, patience, and empathy to every family I work with. Over the years, I have cared for children of various ages, and I am confident in my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I am skilled in managing daily routines, providing age-appropriate activities, supporting academic development, and maintaining open communication with parents. I love working with children because I find genuine joy in watching them grow, learn, and discover the world around them. Every child is unique, and I'm inspired by their curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Being part of their learning journey whether it's helping them solve a problem, express their emotions, or gain confidence, it feels incredibly meaningful. *Im bilingual English/Spanish “I am also available to provide childcare from my home. I offer a safe, welcoming, and child-friendly environment with plenty of opportunities for learning, play, and daily routines. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are cared for with patience, attention, and kindness.”

I’ve had a very positive experience with Ana,She worked with my toddler and supported our family consistently for about 1 year.During that time, she was responsible for her daily routines, engaging her in age-appropriate activities, preparing simple meals and snacks, maintaining a clean and organized play area, and ensuring the overall safety and well-being. She’s also very punctual and communicates clearly, which made coordinating schedules very easy. I honestly don’t have anything negative to note she handled every responsibility we gave her with professionalism. Ana also provided Cleaning services for our family . As an extra job on the days she didn't babysit .

Isabela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Isabela! I’m new on Urban Sitter, and I’m a recent college graduate with a strong background in childcare and youth programming. I speak English, French, and Spanish fluently and enjoy working with families from many different backgrounds. I grew up in a household where caring for children was always part of daily life, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from an early age. Beyond family care, I spent two summers as a camp counselor at the Humane Society of Broward County Kids Club Summer Camp, where I helped lead activities, supervised groups of children, and also gained hands-on experience caring for pets. Whether helping with homework, keeping kids engaged with creative activities, or supporting families with pet care, I bring enthusiasm, reliability, and a nurturing approach to everything I do.

"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)."
