Hi. I live in Manhattan with my husband and my dog. None smoker & comfortable with Pets. I have a nursing background degree. I love children and have been taking care of them since I was 20 years old. I am caring, patient and fun to be with. My profile states am “not accepting “ new family, that is incorrect.
“A genuinely kind and respectful soul. Ana has been and will continue to be our trusted go-to in NYC.”
I’m Ana, an energetic and experienced nanny who is passionate about creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Transforming everyday playtime into engaging learning adventures is one of my specialties! Whether we’re building magnificent LEGO castles, creating arts and crafts, or designing our own comic books, I believe in making every moment meaningful and memorable. Over the last 9 years as a full-time nanny, I’ve proudly adapted to each family’s unique needs and parenting styles. In addition to my nanny experience, I am also a certified Home Health Aide (HHA), which has strengthened my caregiving skills, patience, attentiveness, and ability to provide compassionate support in a variety of situations. I have experience working with children of all abilities, including children with disabilities, developmental delays, autism, ADHD, and social-emotional challenges. I am experienced in administering prescribed daily medications, supporting therapeutic routines, and creating an inclusive, understanding, and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I strongly believe in helping children develop healthy coping skills, confidence, independence, and emotional regulation through patience, consistency, creativity, and compassion. My priority is always making sure children feel loved, understood, and able to thrive at their own pace. I understand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home, and I strive to become a reliable extension of your family. I have years of experience working with children ranging from infancy through high school, providing homework help, engaging in creative and educational activities, maintaining structured routines, preparing nutritious meals, and keeping play and learning areas organized and tidy. I’m a quick learner, highly adaptable, and flexible with scheduling, including being available for last-minute bookings when needed. I especially have a soft spot for babies and toddlers and truly love watching them grow, learn, and develop throughout the years. Building lasting bonds with children and families is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I’m excited to connect and discuss how my experience, energy, and passion for childcare can benefit your family :)
“Anna did a wonderful job babysitting my 3-year-old. She was patient, attentive, and made sure my child felt comfortable and happy the entire time. Anna followed instructions well, kept my child engaged with age-appropriate activities, and communicated clearly with me. I felt completely at ease knowing my child was in her care, and I would happily recommend her to other families.”
Hi there! I graduated from Tufts University with a major in Political Science and have worked in foreign policy on Capitol Hill for several years before moving into contract specialization here in NYC. I spent four summers as a preschool teacher working with children ages 1 to 5 and spent two years working with fourth graders, in addition to regular babysitting, and I absolutely love working with kids! I also have a year's experience as a full-time professional nanny for a single family with a toddler. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about availability or would like to learn more about me as a babysitter. I am also happy to provide additional references upon request from my full-time childcare jobs, if you would like them in addition to my reviews listed here on the website. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hello Families! My name is De'Ja and I’m a grad student at NYU. I am off for the summer and would love to help you with your childcare needs! I have 5 years of experience as a freelance childcare provider and I am Tedi Bear Certified. I have a bachelors in Fine Arts and 3 years of experience as a children's actor for TV and Theatre. Before starting school, I was a theatre teacher for grades 6th-12th. I have a great passion for providing education and childcare to families in need!
“Amazing job”
Hello! Thanks for looking at my profile! In my childcare experience, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, nanny, Mother’s helper and director of summer camp. I’ve cared for children from 2 weeks up to 12 years. I enjoy incorporating my knowledge and experience with art into my work with children because I believe it helps them to express their creativity. I attended the University of Oregon and graduated with a dual degree in Latin American Studies and Theater. Thanks for your consideration.

"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."
