Hi! My name is Alyssa and I graduated last year from Cal Poly SLO. I am starting my masters program at Pepperdine this coming Fall and am hoping to find a part time nannying job. I have nannied/babysat since I was 15 and have lots of experience with kids of all ages. I also have a 2 year old brother and 16 month old sister so I am very comfortable with babies and toddlers as well!
I'll be upfront: I'm not a full-time nanny, and that might be exactly why you'd want me. During the week, I am the project design lead for a large-scale waterfront project in Lower Manhattan. The work I do Monday through Friday demands serious multi-tasking, a high degree of responsibility, and clear communication under pressure. On weekends and possibly weeknights, I'm looking to take on nannying and babysitting work to pay down student debt and help support some elderly relatives. Despite a decent salary, I am in real need of a reliable long-term side hustle for the next few years, and childcare is something I will genuinely enjoy, not just endure. About me: I am comfortable with toddlers (1-3), young kids (4-8), and older kids (9-12+). I am happy to discuss infants on a case-by-case basis. My experience with very young babies is limited, and I won't oversell that to a new parent. I am the oldest of six siblings, the youngest being 12 years younger than I am. I bring "supportive older sister" energy. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I hold a BS in Biology and a master's degree in architecture. I am well-read and comfortable tutoring up to Calculus 1, and I can be a genuinely positive academic influence for a curious or academically inclined older child. Extra points if there's any interest in architecture. I don't have formal nanny references, but I am happy to provide strong professional references, including colleagues who know me well in the context of their own children. I do not smoke, am not a heavy drinker, and do not use drugs. I have a current driver's license, an impeccable driving record, and my own (admittedly slightly junky) car. I am a strong home cook, though not a chef. Happy to put together meals. Most of all, I am kind, extroverted, and hardworking. I know how to be a supportive presence in someone's home without overstepping. I will be on board with the way you choose to raise your children. I currently live in Williamsburg and am flexible on the neighborhood. Happy to sign an NDA. I am a strong fit for a family looking for weekend support, or for one that already has a full-time nanny and needs a reliable, professional substitute on days off or additional weekend coverage. I am motivated, I show up, and I'm seeking a long-term, regular arrangement. Happy to come by for a meet-and-greet if you think I could be a good fit for your family.
Hi! My name is Paige and I am currently a Radio City Rockette and Dance Teacher here in New York. I received my BFA from the University of Southern California, and have been teaching and babysitting kids since I was 16 years old! I am patient, hard working, creative, and love being with little ones!
My name is Myleah and I’m a 19 yo sophomore at NYU. I am so excited to work with you and your family! Child care is my passion, so any child in my care will be treated as so. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years and was a camp counselor in 2025. I have experience working with infants-14year olds, so I’m open to all! My favorite activity to do with children is play pretend, crafts, dancing, and singing! I’m also open to sports and cater to children’s special interests. I can help tutor, cook, paint, etc! I am CPR and First Aid Trained, as well as a mandated reporter.
“We have had Myleah in our family a couple times and she’s been an amazing and reliable babysitter for us. My little ones love her. She arrives on time and asks many needed questions to give my kids the best care. She is dependent and trustworthy. In addition, my kids have great time with her and she even helps around the house and helps kids with homework. Overall very great.”
Hello! A New York resident of 3+ years, I have recently pivoted from working a full time administrative job at a finance firm to doing freelance producing work in the New York theatre scene. I have always loved working with kids and have full confidence in my ability to provide high quality, creative, fun, and safe care for children. I recently renewed my CPR certification (2025) and have cared for children from 15 months to preteens. Happy to do light housework and cooking as well. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to chat!
“Eliza was a delight. She had a great manner with my 16 month old and was easy to work with.”

"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."
