Meagan $35 per hour for 1 child

My name is Meagan and I am a Bushwick bound childcare expert and teaching artist who loves working with children! I describe myself as, an empathetic creative with many vibrant colors. I love to act, sing, dance, & empower children. My friends would say that I'm a joyful spirit with a laugh the size of Las Vegas, which is where I'm originally from! I am the co-creator of Mixed in America, a community organization created to empower and uplift multiracial families & individuals. I lead support groups & do workshops for schools around the country. I am a proud mixed-race woman myself so giving back in this way is extremely important to me. This work has made me deeply vulnerable to the unique needs of children, & their desire to be truly seen, felt & heard by their caretakers. I love helping children express themselves! I encourage them to celebrate their uniqueness by facilitating the creation of their own stories/plays/dances/etc. I adore teaching children early on about the power of their own imagination. I see children as enormous souls in small packages, and that mantra ensures that I never underestimate their brilliance. I have 15 years of childcare experience working with children ranging from newborn to teens. This includes children with autism, special needs, ADHD and stuttering. My training includes over 7 years of arts education through organizations such as Lincoln Center Education, Girl Be Heard, The Stuttering Association for the Young, Bartol's Trauma Informed training, Girl's First Trauma Informed training, & Mama Glow Doula training. Additionally, I have a BFA in Drama from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. One of my greatest skills is my emotionally intuitive nature. I am able to connect with the emotional needs of a child while also honoring boundaries, rules, and safety. I've lived in Nevada, North Carolina, Philadelphia and New York City, so I have experience with diverse families from many different cultures and walks of life. Lastly, I am comfy in the kitchen and I enjoy keeping my environment organized and tidy. You can count on me to leave your home tidier than I found it! Thank you so much for any consideration and I look forward to hearing from your lovely family!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Woodside, NY

Hi! My name is Francie and I just graduated from Williams College. I am a babysitter and tutor, and am also willing to work with animals. I have experience in babysitting elementary and toddler-aged children, but am excited about working with other ages. I also have experience tutoring my younger brother, who had learning difficulties, so am comfortable working with kids who might have difficult relationships with school work. In the past I've dropped kids off and picked them up, done crafts with them, taken them to the playground, read with them, made up dances, and otherwise tried to have them to creative activities. Please let me know if I can give you any more info!

"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)."
