Melody Lodi
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Melody. I am a Hispanic American who loves children and has been exposed to them for a truly long time. I am reaching to about 8 years of experience in childcare in the field, including church kid classes, daycare work, and personal full-time nannying work. In more detail, I have provided engaging care for children from the ages of 18 months to 12 in church, daycare, and private home settings. Furthermore, I planned and led activities including games, arts and crafts, music (through my singing and playing guitar), and interactive learning. To add on, I managed classrooms, encouraged creativity, and fostered a fun, nurturing environment. Specific experience includes work at Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church (2017), assisting a daycare called Sunlight Kids (2019), and full-time nannying in Columbus Circle, NY (2025). Here's a review from my most recent job: "To whom it may concern, Melody Acosta was a temporary caretaker for our 18-month-old daughter for nearly 3 weeks. As two extremely time-strapped executives, my husband and I work in busy environments with high stress and rely on professional, high-performing teams. Melody was an excellent addition to our team during her time with us. Melody was extremely professional and diligent right from the start. She made time to come before the official role began to study the daily routine of our daughter. That way, she would have a head start before the role began. During her time here, she was extremely dependable with a calm and helpful demeanor. Often she would arrive early or have to stay a bit later, and did so with a pleasant, mature demeanor. Her ability to take direction, feedback, and adapt quickly also stood out. She presented a desire to meet our needs and diligently took notes to ensure completion of tasks and pivoted when needed. She was proactive, often suggesting ideas for meals or activities. With our daughter herself, Melody was very interactive, singing, reading, and spending time with her caringly and lovingly. Melody would be an asset in any workplace. Thanks. Divya Sawhney"

Lishayra Passaic
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lishayra and I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 7 years of experience working with children of all ages. I spent 5 years in a daycare setting and the past 2 years as a private nanny. I also hold an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, which has helped me create fun, age-appropriate activities that support children’s learning and development. I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids can learn and grow. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with household chores, homework, light cooking, and cleaning to make family life run smoothly. I’m comfortable with dogs but allergic to cats. Families describe me as patient, organized, and full of positive energy. I love becoming part of the family team and making each day both fun and structured for the children I care for.

I've been working with kids for seven years and am currently Nanny, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience. I love helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I'm patient, creative, and responsible, with experience caring for kids of all ages. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while keeping things fun. I also make sure to keep parents updated in whatever way works best for them. I have a car, I'm good with pets, and I speak both English and Portuguese. I'd love to get to know your family!

Jill Verona
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jill! I’m a mom of two teen boys that has her own wellness business and is looking to fill hours here and there. Prior to owning my own business I worked for a management consulting company, specifically working in technology. I loved my job, but loved my kids more and needed more time with them. fast forward 6 years and they are now very independent and I find myself having more free time. I currently substitute teach when I’m not with my health and wellness coaching clients or running kids wellness parties & camps. I know exactly what it’s like to be a working mom with a high pressure job with young kids. I was fortunate to have my parents local to help me when I had a huge meeting and one of my kids ended up sick. I realize many parents don’t have that luxury. That’s why I’d love to be there to help parents out. Whether it’s an ongoing after school pick up situation or one off “help my child needs a ride to school today”, I’d love to be there. Looking forward to working together, Jill

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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
