Carolina 1 review
$33 per hour for 1 child

I love being a babysitter/nanny because I enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn and grow. I love their curiosity and creativity, and I enjoy creating fun memories through games, crafts, stories, and outdoor activities. I also enjoy sharing my culture with them while learning from their unique perspectives. I have experience caring for children of different ages through babysitting, family childcare, and here in the United States. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, preparing meals, helping with routines, organizing activities, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I am responsible, patient, creative, organized, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for children.

“Carolina cared for my daughter when she was 7 years old. She helped her with homework, prepared snacks, and took her to the park. My daughter loved spending time with her and really enjoyed her company. Carolina was caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her!”

Marinez 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Marinez, I'm 28 years old, and I'm currently looking for a nanny position. I have over 5 years of experience working with children and infants. For the past 2 years, I worked full-time with one family caring for four children. When I started, the girls were 2 and 4 years old, and the boys were 8 and 9. It was an incredible experience filled with learning, affection, and growth, and now I feel ready to take the next step in my career. I have experience with infant care, including feeding, bottle preparation, sleep routines, and supporting developmental milestones. I am also comfortable with preschool drop-offs and pick-ups, planning activities, and navigating the city safely with children. I truly enjoy engaging kids in outdoor play, creative activities, and maintaining a consistent, healthy routine. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, a strong driver, and a non-smoker. I’m also very comfortable around dogs. I would describe myself as reliable, patient, proactive, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Warmly, Marinez

“She is a wonderful nanny—reliable, caring, patient, and great with children. She is very responsible and professional, and I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy to care for their kids.”

Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Grace, an NYU graduate student and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I love spending time with kids and helping them have fun while they feel safe and cared for. I've worked with children in schools, museums, and community programs, and I enjoy getting outside, reading together, making art, or simply following their curiosity. I'm calm, dependable, CPR/First Aid certified, and happy to help with light housekeeping or pets. I'm hoping to find a family I can get to know over time and become someone your child is excited to see.

“Grace is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She is especially wonderful with children. She has a natural ability to make kids feel comfortable, understood, and engaged, while still being responsible and attentive. She is patient, creative, calm under pressure, and someone parents can trust completely. I would recommend Grace without hesitation. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their children.”

"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)."
