Oriel $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over four years of professional childcare experience. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, nurturing, and dependable. I truly enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged, and I understand the importance of adjusting to each child’s unique personality, needs, and developmental stage. With babies, I am attentive and gentle, focusing on their routines, comfort, and milestones. With toddlers and older children, I encourage creativity, independence, and positive behavior through fun, structured activities. Patience is one of my strongest qualities. I believe children respond best when they feel heard and understood, and I take the time to guide them calmly through challenges, big feelings, or transitions. My nurturing nature allows me to connect with children on their level while still providing structure and consistency. My goal is to join a family where I can provide consistent, long-term care while giving parents peace of mind and children the nurturing environment they need to thrive. I’m flexible with scheduling, open to evenings and overnights, and excited to bring my dedication and warmth to a new family full-time.

Kylie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kylie — a West Village local with a heart for caregiving and a long history helping raise three godchildren here in NYC. After running my own successful marketing consultancy for over two decades, I’ve decided to start scaling down to spend more time doing what brings me the most joy: supporting children and families. While I may be older than some sitters (I’m 54), I bring a calm, mature presence, along with plenty of energy, patience, and humor. I'm deeply familiar with life in the city, from parks and playgrounds to navigating school schedules and routines. I love reading with kids, helping with creative projects, and just being a supportive, steady adult in their lives. I’m available for part-time help (5–10 hours a week) and happy to assist with regular care, fill-ins, date nights or preschool pick-ups and afternoon activities. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver — and would love to be a trusted person for your family.

"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)."
