I’m a born and raised New Yorker where I was a professional nanny for 8 years, ranging from date night sitting to full time nanny and house manager positions for high profile NDA families. My nanny style is creative and caring with Montessori principles. I’m very hands on and active and am a strong swimmer! have experience working with children ages 5 months-17 years old and am comfortable watching up to 6 kids at a time. Skilled with neurodivergent and special needs (specializes in working with ADHD kiddos) I’m a rockstar at baking and cooking including full family meal prep, intricate birthday cakes and homemade baby food (i have kosher experience). I enjoy planning children’s parties and events and as a dog mom im a certified animal lover. CPR and first aid certified and have experience with food allergies (Epi pen trained). While I do have reliable transportation , I am not comfortable driving children. A fun fact about me is that I’ve worked as a costume maker on broadway, national tour and regional premiere productions of Frozen: the musical and love Disney! *I also teach private and group sewing lessons all skill levels, arts and crafts activities and parties*

Maya was a great sitter! The girls loved her and we would love to have her back again soon :)

Hi there! I’m Karina, I went to CSUN to become an elementary teacher. Now I’m in the health care field. I am in school to become a RN. I’ve been babysitting for 6 years now, infant to teens. I have both nanny and babysitting experiences. I’m very optimistic and love being able to bring adventure & fun! I have lots of paid experience and professional experience through my internships for schooling. I love being able to do arts and crafts, or going on walks or park visits. I have my own transportation, licensed, vaccinated, CPR certified infant - adult; and very responsible and reliable. Since my availability is during the evening, I am very flexible and can stay later than 12pm.

Karina was great! On time and lovely to chat with. The kids immediately loved her and wanted to show her everything! Both kids said they had the best night the next morning.Would definitely love to have her back. Thank you Karina!!

I keep my calendar updated! Quick facts! I live in Mid City but always glad to commute if needed. Allergic to cats, but if I take a claritin before I'm fine, just please let me know if you have them so I can prepare! It makes a huge difference for me. :') Joined Urban Sitter in college and built very long relationships. I work a 9-5 but have flexibility working remotely! Experience: I've been on Urban Sitter for almost 10 years. 😱 Additionally, I have three nephews that are now aged 8, 6 and 10 months. Been a part of every (brick by brick) step for all three of them, and it's been a joy. I really enjoy watching kids grow, especially at 4-6 months when they start getting smiley and laugh-y. Lots of infant and tollder experience...bathing, feeding (formula, frozen breastmilk, solids) naps, bedtime, diapers... When it comes to rules/discipline, I'll honor your requests (screen time, homework, activities, etc). Hopefully needless to say am not physical... when it comes to discipline I'll usually go for avoiding any stressful triggers, distracting, talking through feelings, etc. More about me... in my free time I like to watch movies, read, and practice piano! Currently in a data career pivot where I’m working pretty hard on my laptop during the week, with the benefits of being flexible and remote, and I've really been enjoying it.

Vanessa’s skill with kids is unmatched - she made an instant connection with my 4yo daughter when they met for the first time on a trip we took to Mexico City. Her patience, tenderness and creativity was a marvel to witness, and she gracefully supported my little one’s occasional meltdowns. My daughter is so excited for the next time she gets to play with auntie Vanessa!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
