For the past 4 years, I’ve worked exclusively in overnight newborn care helping parents get real rest while knowing their baby is still being cared for. I support families through every part of the night: from feedings, diaper changes to soothing and upholding family Standards of a healthy routine . I make sure bottles and baby items are clean and ready for the next day, and I step in wherever I’m needed so parents can wake up feeling refreshed.

Petra 5 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Lyndhurst, NJ

I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over five years of experience caring for children from newborns through age 17. I am currently pursuing a degree in Biology with long-term goals of becoming a pediatric surgeon, and my passion for supporting children’s health, growth, and development is reflected in the care I provide every day. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported as they learn and grow. I love incorporating activities such as reading, outdoor play, nature exploration, and creative experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence, and active learning. My experience working with a wide range of age groups has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personality. I am known for being reliable, attentive, and nurturing, and I take great pride in helping children thrive while giving families peace of mind. 🌱

Petra helped take care of my baby boy when he’s 5-6w old and we needed our own time. She’s quiet and very sweet, always on time, and very good with childcare. Our care with her runs from 3hr coverage to the a full day (~9hrs), she handles everything just fine.

Jordan $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with kids since middle school, starting by babysitting my little sister and tutoring peers, which sparked my love for helping children learn and grow. By 8th grade, I was an assistant teacher at Hebrew school and babysat my Rabbi’s daughter. In high school, I became a YMCA lifeguard (CPR certified) and taught swim lessons at summer camp. Throughout college, I spent four years as a certified tutor at the Boys & Girls Club, helping kids from 1st through 12th grade with reading, writing, math, and study skills. I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied Psychology and Economics, and have an intermediate level of Spanish. I love working with kids—watching their imagination develop, fostering their curiosity, and helping them learn. I also grew up with seven dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pets and happy to help with them too.

Emmy $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Emmy, and I live in Stuytown. I graduated from Amherst College two years ago and moved to the city. Since then, I've found myself missing spending time with children. I've been babysitting and nannying for most of my teenage and adult years. I have experience nannying for elementary schoolers and middle schoolers, as well as babysitting for children of all ages. I'm also comfortable watching pets, especially dogs. I'm originally from Seattle. I love cooking, animals, crafts, and yoga. I majored in Political Science and Computer Science at Amherst College. I'm currently working for a software company. I'd love to help care for your kids in the evenings and on the weekends.

Kianah $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing children and watching them learn brings me immense joy. My five years of experience caring for children aged 0–13 have solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I am patient, calm, and confident when it comes to enforcing household rules and maintaining routines. I enjoy engaging children in board games, puzzles, and educational activities that promote learning, creativity, and social development. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, such as tidying play areas, organizing toys, preparing simple meals or snacks, washing dishes, and helping with children’s laundry to ensure a clean and comfortable environment. I value open communication and will follow your preferred method to keep you informed about your child’s day, activities, and milestones. I am comfortable caring for one or two children at a time, allowing me to give each child focused attention and care. I truly enjoy supporting families and look forward to the opportunity to care for and nurture your little one

"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."

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)."
