Savannah $33 per hour for 1 child

I'm an experienced childcare provider with over 7 years of experience running my own home daycare. Childcare has been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with the children I care for while giving parents peace of mind. I also have an Associate's degree in Business Management. Over the past seven years, I've gained extensive hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, preparing meals, organizing activities, and creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. As a nanny, I bring the same level of care and professionalism that I've provided through my daycare. My goal is to be someone your family can genuinely trust and rely on. I'm looking for a position where I can become a trusted and dependable part of a family's routine. I enjoy staying active with children, keeping them entertained and engaged, and creating a comfortable environment where their minds are stimulated and they feel cared for.

Daria 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy watching children learn, explore, and grow. I bring a unique background in music and the arts to create a fun and nurturing environment. In Ukraine, I taught piano, worked with children on vocal training, and even conducted a children’s choir. I also have theater experience and earned my degree as a music director. I’ve been babysitting since 2015, caring for children from ages 2 to 13 as well as teenagers. Every summer, I participated in summer camps as a counselor and helped develop camp programs. I’m fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and English, which allows me to communicate easily with families. Additionally, I’m trained in CPR and First Aid, ensuring a safe and caring environment for your little ones.

“Daria was an absolutely lovely sitter and I can’t recommend her enough. She was extremely flexible and generous with her time and always eager to lend a hand. Whether it be taking my son home from school on short notice or staying a bit later than planned, she truly shows the utmost concern and thoughtfulness when it comes to being there for those she cares for. Daria is extremely sweet, friendly and has the capacity to get along with seemingly everyone, she’s an excellent chatter, listener, and even teacher, being quick to answer all the questions an 8 y/o may have and even including the occasional piano lesson! I can’t say enough good things about Daria and her services and I’m sure you will find her just as amazing as I have!”

Hello! I’m excited to connect with a loving family looking for a reliable and caring babysitter. I am a preschool teacher working in the Park Slope area, and I’m seeking work for the summer and possibly long term. I have five years of hands-on experience working with children ages 2–5, both in daycare classrooms and through babysitting for several of my students. My background in early childhood education has given me strong skills in supporting children’s growth, guiding positive behavior, and creating a warm, structured environment. I’m a certified teacher in NYS and I have my first aid and cpr training completed. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Art, which I love incorporating into my time with children, whether that’s through creative activities, sensory play, or simple arts and crafts. I truly enjoy spending time with children, getting to know their personalities, and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, and playful, while also maintaining routines and ensuring your child’s well-being. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a fun, nurturing experience for your little ones!

"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)."
