Fabiana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fabian I recently moved to Manhattan after spending a year working at a daycare in Long Island 💖 I have experience caring for children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids and I absolutely love creating fun and meaningful moments with them. From arts and crafts to helping with homework or simply playing and making them laugh, I bring both structure and joy into their daily routine🫶🏻 While working at the daycare, I gained valuable hands-on experience and developed a deep understanding of children’s needs, especially in early childhood. I’m comfortable with dogs and other pets, and I’m happy to help with walking, feeding, or playtime. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and energetic, I’d love to be part of your family’s support system!

$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sara, I'm 33 years old, and I have 18 years of childcare experience, with 8 years as a dedicated career nanny. My passion is supporting children and families, and I've studied Elementary Education and Psychology at UNC Charlotte. My experience includes working with children from two weeks old to school age, and I specialize in infant care, sleep training, and milestone development. I am also skilled in homework help and activity planning, such as museum visits, music, and science projects. I am a detail-oriented, intuitive, and emotionally attuned nanny who thrives in homes that need a proactive and communicative presence. I offer family assistance services in addition to childcare, including meal preparation, scheduling, home organization, and travel support. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I assisted a family with five children with virtual schooling, managing their schedules, technology, and classroom participation. I also provided homework and school project assistance to support their academics. I enjoy traveling and have had the opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally with families. One memorable experience was accompanying a family with four children, ages 2-8, to Milan, Italy, where I provided childcare, assisted with homeschooling, and helped the family adjust to life abroad. I also have experience providing extended overnight care, for up to two weeks at a time. I am passionate about emotional well-being and believe in open and honest communication. My goal is to help your family function at its best, and I enjoy coming alongside families who need an extra set of hands to build strong relational bonds with their children. I am independent, organized, and have developed a sense of anticipating needs. I look forward to the opportunity to help improve your family's daily life.

“Sara is the most maternal and thoughtful caregiver. She has perfect instincts and is always advocating for the best for children. She is a great communicator and will respectfully work with parents to raise their children. She is very experienced and is able to take care of newborns to teenagers. I highly recommend her for all types of childcare.”

Booked by 2 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an experienced caregiver and recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. I currently work full time as an Operations Specialist at a high school, where I support over 500 students and help manage the day to day systems that keep the school running smoothly. Alongside my professional role, I babysit part time because childcare has always been something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I have years of hands on experience caring for children of all ages, including babysitting for family, friends, and private clients. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play, organizing fun and enriching activities, helping with homework, or maintaining structured routines, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel supported and comfortable. I’m First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, so safety is always a top priority in my care. Additionally, I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese and am happy to communicate in whichever language best supports your family’s needs. Beyond childcare, I also have experience with pet care, so if you have furry family members, they’ll be well looked after too! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring community events, and playing chess. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

I take care of dogs that are small to large (larger dogs must be more friendly, but I don't mind a small dog with trust-issues). I can take dogs on long walks and to the park. I don't have a car but can escort to and from schools or appointments via walking, public transit, or Uber.

"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."
