Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Grace, an NYU graduate student and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I love spending time with kids and helping them have fun while they feel safe and cared for. I've worked with children in schools, museums, and community programs, and I enjoy getting outside, reading together, making art, or simply following their curiosity. I'm calm, dependable, CPR/First Aid certified, and happy to help with light housekeeping or pets. I'm hoping to find a family I can get to know over time and become someone your child is excited to see.

“Grace is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She is especially wonderful with children. She has a natural ability to make kids feel comfortable, understood, and engaged, while still being responsible and attentive. She is patient, creative, calm under pressure, and someone parents can trust completely. I would recommend Grace without hesitation. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their children.”

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hello, My name is Ms.K , and I’m a dedicated, caring, and reliable nanny with 7 years of experience supporting families and nurturing children from infancy through school age. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can grow, learn, and explore their interests. I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. My approach balances warmth and playfulness with clear communication and consistency. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or maintaining routines, I always strive to make each day positive and enriching. I’m certified in CPR/First Aid and have experience with infants/toddlers/school-age K-12. I align my developmental milestones for the children with the CDC. I am experienced in feeding, change, tidying, burping , helping with the sleep schedule, reading to them, speaking to them about colors and shapes, helping them to crawl by giving them toys to reach towards to stimulate their development. I have also spent several years in the classroom setting as an assistant program manager for after school scholars. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and proactive — someone who truly becomes part of the family. I look forward to bringing my skills, energy, and genuine love for children to a welcoming household. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Keionyi has been a nanny for our three boys on and off over the past three years, and she’s been such a huge help to our family. She’s great with the kids — always patient, dependable, and fun to be around. She helps with light cleaning, the boys’ laundry, meal prep, and school drop-offs and pick-ups. She’s also really good at keeping them busy with activities they actually enjoy. We’ve been so lucky to have her, and I’d highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is caring and reliable.”

Montse $30 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced childcare provider with 5 years of full time nanny experience, including live in, and have been babysitting for much longer. I pride myself in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I am dedicated to ensuring children's well-being and development, implementing age-appropriate activities, and developing strong relationships with parents. I have experience taking children to various activities, organizing educational and recreational outings, and managing all household tasks related to the child. I love art in my personal life and like finding ways to implement that through age appropriate crafts! My full time experience has been primarily infants and toddlers, but I have experience with all ages. I am young and energetic which helps me really keep up with busy children and develop deeper connections. I absolutely love this job and aspire to be a career nanny, this is not temporary for me, so I would really love to find a family I can grow with long term. I am travel ready (global entry, valid passport) and comfortable traveling both domestically and internationally for work. I am CPR/First Aid certified and knowledgeable in water safety.

Bianca 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi my name is Bianca and I’m currently a sophomore at CCNY. I have been a caretaker of my own cousins and nieces which gave me experience. Also I have worked in after school activities at a close middle school, so I have treated with different ages too, mostly it consisted on helping them finish their homework and do different activities for fun.

“Bianca has been wonderful with my 6-year-old son. She is kind, reliable, professional, and always calm and attentive. She keeps him engaged through play, takes him to the park, feeds him meals during the day, and leaves our home exactly as she found it. I feel confident knowing my son is in her care and would highly recommend her to any family.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
