Hi families, I’m Sandy, a professional bilingual nanny with over 7 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. I bring the perfect mix of warmth, structure, creativity, patience, and calm confidence into every home I work with. I have worked with families in New York, The Hamptons, Florida, Puerto Rico, Vermont, Colombia, and China, bringing a global, adaptable, and culturally aware approach to childcare. My approach is centered on safety, emotional connection, developmental growth, and joyful routines. I love creating days filled with reading, music, outdoor play, sensory activities, Spanish immersion, healthy meals, and age-appropriate learning moments that help children feel secure, capable, and excited to grow. I have experience with infant care, toddler routines, school-age children, travel support, busy family schedules, healthy meal prep, children’s laundry, organization, transportation, homework help, potty training, and creating a peaceful rhythm in active households. Families describe me as reliable, loyal, discreet, loving, active, organized, and highly professional. I take pride in being more than a nanny. I become a trusted partner to parents and a steady, positive presence in a child’s life. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and comfortable working with families who value high standards, clear communication, emotional intelligence, and exceptional care. If you are looking for someone who will care for your children with love, intention, maturity, and true professionalism, I would be honored to connect with your family.

“Sandy is an absolutely exceptional nanny. She was recommended to me by a friend recently and from the beginning it was clear how talented she is. She immediately got down on my 3 year old’s level and kept her attention all day. She is so kind and engaging that my daughter was immediately smitten. Sandy’s attention was 100% on my daughter the whole time. My daughter often (multiple times per day) asks when Sandy is coming back. There aren’t enough ways to recommend Sandy. She is punctual, reliable, she cooks and speaks multiple languages. Most of all she seems to really enjoy taking care of children. Please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to sing her praises over the phone!”

Hi👋🏻 A good nanny is not only someone who takes care of children, but also someone who provides them with love, security, and stimulation for their development. Three fundamental qualities that distinguish an exceptional nanny are empathy, patience, and creativity.🥰 As a plus, I work in a daycare from a few days a week , my vocation is really beautiful and I love my job🫶🏻 CPR First Aid Mandatory Report/ Finger Prints- Footprints / to work in daycare/ Experience with Children - Reference letter if necessary Vaccines/ Covid, Tuberculosis

"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)."
