Hello! My name is Haily. I am a bilingual professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and pre-teens. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and have extensive experience supporting children’s development through nurturing care, structured routines, and engaging age-appropriate activities. I genuinely love working with children and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where they feel secure, confident, and encouraged to learn and grow. I believe strong relationships with children and parents are built through trust, consistency, open communication, and mutual respect. Families describe me as loving, patient, dependable, trustworthy, organized, proactive, and reliable. I enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents while providing the support families need in their daily lives. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and pre-teens, including meal preparation, transportation, establishing healthy routines, educational activities, creative play, outdoor adventures, and supporting children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. I am currently seeking a long-term position with a wonderful family where I can become a trusted part of their team while supporting their children’s growth, happiness, and well-being.
Hi! I’m a college student with years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been babysitting for family and family friends since I was 9, and caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, responsible, and very engaging. I love doing crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m comfortable with bedtime routines, preparing simple meals, and keeping the home tidy after activities. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment so parents can feel completely at ease while they’re away. I’m especially great with toddlers and elementary-aged kids and I’m happy to care for multiple children at once. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and date nights in NYC and North Jersey, and I respond quickly to messages here.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
