Chloe 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Chloe, and I would love to help you and your family. I have a passion for working with children and helping parents be the most present and happy as they can be in the times that matter most. A child's imagination is the most precious, sacred thing in my eyes, and I take fostering that imagination as my own personal mission. I've been working with kids ever since I could remember, as the daughter of a dance teacher and therefore unofficial assistant instructor. In high school, I worked as a party princess, solidifying my passion for working with children with the added benefit of knowing every word to every princess song ever. With a solid arsenal of artistic skills in nearly all mediums, I love to plan arts activities with kids abilities and interests in mind that leave them feeling empowered and competent. I also love taking children out on excursions led by what sparks their curiosity. My M.O. is to instill a love for learning, inner confidence, and resilient spirit that stays with children for life. For me, that starts with making sure they feel seen, supported, and respected. Outside of childcare, I am also a multidisciplinary artist, working with photography, performance, comedy, writing, music, sculpture, and anything I can get my hands on, really. I just graduated from DePaul in Chicago, earning a 3.96 GPA while PT nannying and managing freelance photography gigs. I'm currently available for families within the city as well as in Bergen County, Fairfield County, Rockland County Westchester County, and Hudson County.

Chloe was our nanny for two years, beginning when our children were 1 and 3, and she was truly exceptional. At the time, we lived in downtown Chicago, I traveled frequently for work, and my wife worked 12-hour nursing shifts while also attending school. We needed someone we could completely rely on—someone trustworthy, responsible, professional, and, just as importantly, someone our kids would adore and have fun with. Chloe checked every one of those boxes. She was incredibly reliable and proactive. She even helped introduce us to trusted babysitters and backup caregivers so we would always have support if an emergency came up. That level of thoughtfulness and dependability meant a great deal to our family. Most importantly, Chloe was amazing with our kids. She was extremely engaged with them—dressing up, planning fun activities, playing, laughing, and always finding ways to keep them entertained and smiling. She transported them to school, prepared meals, handled bath time, helped keep our home in order, and even helped care for both of our pets throughout the day. Chloe was also an excellent communicator, which was especially important given our demanding and sometimes unpredictable schedules. With me frequently out of town and my wife balancing 12-hour nursing shifts and school, I genuinely don't know how we would have done it without her. Our experience with Chloe was exceptional, and we valued the time she spent with our family tremendously. Our children still ask about her today, which probably says more than anything else could. I would recommend Chloe without hesitation to anyone looking for a nanny, babysitter, or caregiver. Any family would be fortunate to have her. I am also more than happy to speak directly with anyone considering Chloe and provide my full endorsement.

Hi, I'm Sydney! I moved to NYC to be an actor and found myself working in several settings with children, including performing in the Bluey X CAMP experience downtown and acting as costume designer/childcare assistant for 3 shows with the Children's Acting Academy. I have several years of experience providing childcare for ages 0-13, and would love to get to know you and your little ones. Because of my background in theatre, I have all kinds of ideas on ways to have fun! I'm also happy to help around the house in any way you may need.

Sydney was punctual, easy to communicate with and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again

Gianna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Little Ferry, NJ

Hello! I’ve been caring for kids since I was a teenager and have over 5 years of professional experience working with children ages 5–12, as well as toddlers. I currently work as a paraprofessional, supporting kids of all abilities, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, keeping routines structured, and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m patient, calm, and adaptable, and I really focus on making kids feel understood, supported, and confident. I also have experience helping with homework, daily routines, playtime, and light household tasks. I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I genuinely love working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families :)

I needed help watching my little brothers (5yr and 3yr old) last minute and Gianna saved the day! If you’re looking for someone who is patient and attentive to your kids needs Gianna is the one. My brothers are still asking about her and when she’s coming back! Would and will hire again.

"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)."
