Booked by 2 families in Woodside, NY

Hello, My name is Elana, For the past 10 years, I've been privileged to nurture children's growth and offer families dependable childcare. My calm and patient nature allows me to connect easily with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I enjoy sparking their imaginations with creative activities, board games, and even educational outings .I follow each family's lead when it comes to household rules and communication preferences. I am comfortable caring for one or more children at a time. I'm also happy to help with cooking, and light housekeeping. Speaking both English and Spanish, I can offer a diverse learning environment. I'm excited to bring my experience and passion to your family, creating a safe and fun space where your child can thrive.

Elana is great, works super well with our three year old (pick ups after school), is prompt and communicative, and has created a great bond. Our daughter always comes home with energy and positivity after the pick up.

Booked by 2 families in Woodside, NY

After three years of experience with household cleaning, I’ve become confident, efficient, and consistent in how I maintain a clean and organized home. I no longer clean randomly or react only when things get messy—I follow routines that keep my space in good condition every day, while also scheduling deeper cleans so nothing is neglected. I understand which tasks need daily attention, like dishes, countertops, and general tidying, and which ones require weekly or monthly focus, such as bathrooms, floors, appliances, and storage areas. My experience shows most in my attention to detail. I’m mindful of high-touch areas like door handles, light switches, and remotes, and I don’t overlook corners, baseboards, or hard-to-see buildup. I know how to properly clean different surfaces—glass, wood, stainless steel, fabric—without damaging them, and I choose the right products and tools instead of relying on trial and error. Cleaning has become more deliberate and precise rather than rushed or surface-level. I’ve also developed strong time-management skills. I work efficiently, breaking tasks into manageable steps so cleaning doesn’t feel overwhelming. I can clean thoroughly without wasting energy, and I adapt my approach depending on the condition of the space or how much time I have. After three years, cleaning feels less like a chore and more like a practiced skill—one that allows me to maintain a consistently high standard of cleanliness, comfort, and order in my home.

Suzanne $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Suzanne and I'm offering child care, cooking, household services, and any last minute overnights you might need for an adults night off! Living in Brooklyn, I enjoy staying active, whether it's a nice outdoor walk, or thinking up a fun indoor activity. My college degree was in educational psychology. I've been certified by Karma Kids to teach kids yoga, and enjoy many forms of movement & art making. Probably the most fun thing in my background was volunteering 6 years with Free Arts NYC, while working FT, and finding different ways to allow creativity to engage, empower, & have fun. I really enjoy babysitting and working with kids, making sure parents can feel at ease. I have watched all ages and have decades of experience and fun skills to offer. Open to drop offs + pick-ups via walking/subway/driving from school and activities, figuring out activities, crafts, and tutoring. I can also offer household assistance, meal prep, cleaning, and running errands. I'd love to see how I can brighten up your child and family's day!

"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)."
