Kathleen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kathleen, and I am a sophomore at Hunter College. Throughout high school, I was a 3-sport varsity athlete (cross country, basketball, and golf) and I played several different sports growing up! My main hobby is running, and I am looking to qualify for the Boston Marathon! I love to entertain and make sure the kids are having fun! I am a very friendly person and although I love to have fun, I always want to make sure we are staying safe. I am very familiar with the kitchen and cooking a good meal. I have two sisters, one older and one younger so I am very familiar with the conflict that can arise. I also have a dog and love all pets.

Hanna $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a lot of experience with taking care of my niece, and nephews. I previously worked for college Nannie’s for a year. I also have a one year old daughter that I primarily take care of.

Leidy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Leidy. I am 29 years old, and I have been a nanny for about 4 years. I started this nanny career as an au pair for about two years. Then, I started working with families in NYC. That being said, I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and big kids. I really love being a nanny. I find myself very connected with kids. I love caring about them and teaching them new skills. Love seeing them grow! I have a bachelor's degree and also I am fluent in Spanish. I hope we can meet soon!

Melany $30 per hour for 1 child

I have over 5 years of childcare experience. From 2022 to 2024, I worked at a school/daycare in the Dominican Republic, caring for children in a structured educational setting. From 2025 to 2026, I worked as a private nanny for three children in New York. My last job was with a family with children with special needs, where I support their daily routines, meals, activities, and overall well-being. I'm patient, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a safe and nurturing environment for 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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
