Hello! My name is Julia. I am an experienced nanny and babysitter always looking to help families with their childcare needs from infants through teenagers. EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theatre with a Concentration in Dance, 2018 GPA: 3.8 EXPERIENCE: I’ve supported families with everything from school pickups in my own car, homework help, and activity transportation to meal preparation, household organization, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. Known for my reliability, patience, and ability to connect with kids of all ages, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can thrive. Alongside childcare, I work as a film producer, which has strengthened my organization, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills—qualities I bring to every family I work with.

“Julia was an absolute star!! She had the energy of 10 people and my 4 year old and 7 month old absolutely adored her. I heard laughter in our house nonstop from the moment she arrived. A very special person!”

Hi! I love working with children and I have several years of experience. Throughout my four years of attending college in New York, I worked for a babysitting agency and helped care for children from many different families. Through this experience, I learned how to keep kids engaged and comfortable while we’re together. I love being creative with kids, coming up with fun games to play, helping with homework, etc. :)

Hi! I’m Cielo, a caring and energetic nanny with over 15 years of experience working with children. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need occasional date night help or part time support. I truly love working with kids and believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can thrive. I enjoy cooking healthy, kid-friendly meals and keeping little ones active and engaged, whether that’s through outdoor play, yoga (I’m a certified yoga teacher!), reading together, or board games. I’m comfortable around pets (I adore both dogs and cats) and always happy to help maintain a calm, positive household atmosphere. I especially enjoy working with children ages 4 and up who are curious, creative, and full of energy! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and mindful sitter who brings joy and structure to your child’s day, I’d love to connect with your family!

“Cielo was amazing! My kiddos adored her. She was super sweet and kind, on time, helpful and communicated perfectly. I would recommend her to any family in need of a reliable sitter ”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
