Hi! I like to go by Monica and I’m a very experienced Nanny who has worked in the home with many families, newborns, toddlers, and children, for the past 30 years. I am offering child care and after-school Nanny services to families in the NYC area. It’s my passion being a Nanny and engaging with children of all ages! Playing games, arts and crafts, reading books, taking them to the playground - I love to keep them busy and help them to build their skills. Maintaining a safe, loving and fun environment is something that I take seriously! I am comfortable with school pickups, doctor appointments, preparing meals for the children, doing their laundry, maintaining a tidy home, doing their bedtime routine, and am flexible to work late when needed. I can’t wait to meet your kids, to work with you, and be part of the team! :-) (I am happy to provide references!)

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey my name is Zahainia. I am currently in college getting my degree in health science in order to work in the medical field. I am offering childcare, household services, and homework help. I love being a babysitter and I have babysat for different age groups from newborns to teenagers. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old, I babysat for neighbors, family friends, and work friends. I even worked professionally as a afterschool teacher and also a daycare teacher assistant for a couple of years I love doing arts and crafts, doing dance parties, and even science projects. On my free-time I love cooking and traveling to new places to discover new cultures/food, I am very open minded and willing to help out wherever I can.

“Zahainia has been an essential part of our family for over eight years. During that time, she supported us in many capacities, from part-time care during school days, to full-time support in the summers, and providing overnight care while I traveled for work. Her consistency, reliability, and genuine care for my child made her someone I trusted completely. Zahainia is exceptionally punctual and organized. She brings structure and calm to daily routines while remaining flexible to meet the changing needs of child and family schedules. Whether managing school pickups, homework, activities, or bedtime routines, she approached every responsibility with professionalism and thoughtfulness. Beyond her strong organizational skills, she is incredibly kind and patient. She built meaningful relationships with my son, creating an environment where he felt safe, supported, and encouraged. She balances warmth with appropriate boundaries, which I deeply valued as a parent. Communication has always been one of her greatest strengths. She provides clear updates, proactively shares important information, and collaborates effectively to ensure alignment on expectations and routines, especially important during extended or overnight care. Over nearly a decade, Zahainia proved herself to be dependable, trustworthy, and deeply committed. Any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their support system, and I recommend her without hesitation.”

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! I’m Nicole, a caring, dependable, and energetic 20-year-old college student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I first gained childcare experience at 16 through a SYEP after-school program, where I helped supervise and engage children in fun, age-appropriate activities while creating a safe and positive environment. I’ve also spent years caring for my younger cousins and have provided babysitting services for two families with children ranging from ages 1-6 and 4-11. These experiences have strengthened my patience, responsibility, creativity, and ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun while making them feel safe, supported, and cared for. I currently work as a certified lifeguard, supervising children of all ages and ensuring their safety every day. I’m CPR, First Aid, AED, and Lifeguard certified, so you can feel confident knowing your children are in capable hands. Staying calm under pressure, being attentive, and responding quickly are skills I bring to every family I work with. Whether it’s arts and crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, homework help, bedtime routines, or simply being a positive role model, I love creating a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also happy to prepare meals and snacks, help with light housekeeping, organize play areas, and support your family’s daily routine however I can. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and currently attend a Medical Assistant program in Manhattan (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.), so I’m primarily available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, happy, and excited every time I’m with them. I’d love the opportunity to become a dependable, caring, and positive part of your family’s support system.

“Nicole cared for my children, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. She is dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. She was always patient, kind, and attentive, making sure my children felt safe, happy, and engaged throughout the day. Whether she was helping with meals, playing games, reading, or keeping them on their routines, she handled everything with care and professionalism. Nicole is also an excellent communicator and always kept me updated if needed. She is punctual, trustworthy, and someone I could rely on. My children looked forward to spending time with her because she created a fun and positive environment while still maintaining structure and safety. I highly recommend Nicole to any family looking for a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. She has a natural ability to connect with children, and I know she will be a wonderful caregiver for any family.”

Booked by 4 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi families, I’m Yirma ! I’ve always had a natural connection with children, which started at a young age while helping care for my younger brother from infancy to now, at age 11. Through that experience, I’ve become confident in caring for children and comfortable with many aspects of childcare, including diaper changes, bathing, feeding, tidying up, laundry, school drop offs and pick ups, taking children to appointments and activities, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and understand the importance of being patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am someone who is patient, compassionate, and empathetic, and I strive to bring those qualities into every aspect of my care. I really enjoy spending time with children in fun and meaningful ways, whether that’s playing with them, drawing and painting, or spending time outside exploring and enjoying fresh air. I also enjoy helping with learning and simply being present with them in a positive, engaging way. I’d love the opportunity to speak further and see how I can support your family. I look forward to hearing from you !

“Yirma is amazing! My super active son loved being with her. We will recommend her 100%.”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
