Hi, I’m Brianna and I am a preschool teacher in the Manhattan area offering occasional nannying services for toddlers/pre-K children, housework, and pet care. I’ve been teaching preschool for four years, but have had a lifetime of experience taking care of my younger siblings and cousins. I have a great passion for early childhood education and I love working with little ones. I can help with homework for younger children, housework, and any pets! (I have two dogs and a fish of my own). I love doing arts and crafts activities as well and would always love to spend an afternoon introducing children to different creative outlets! I have experience taking children on day trips, on public transport, navigating the city, and eating in public. I also have potty training experience as well and can help with that transition if needed. I’m a dedicated caregiver who wants to be an extra hand to families who need one every now and then!

Brianna was really professional and was so good at engaging with and interacting with my kid. They were respectful, knowledgeable and warm. Would absolutely hire again.

Hi! I’m Scarlet, a passionate and caring nanny. I offer child care and pet care, always creating a fun and safe environment! I have 2 years of experience as an au pair, caring for a 2 y/o baby and a 5 y/o girl. I absolutely love working with children and enjoy role playing games, painting, baking delicious treats, doing crafts, and playing sports. I bring the perfect balance of being gentle and feminine with girls, and fun and silly with boys! I can also help with teaching or tutoring Spanish, homework assistance, and even cooking. Plus, I’m CPR-certified, ensuring your child’s safety at all times, yayyy! Pet care is another passion of mine! I grew up surrounded by animals, so I have plenty of experience taking care of pets. I love going on walks with dogs and playing with cats, making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Looking forward to providing the best care for your little ones and furry friends!

From 2009 onward, I volunteered in different educational capacities to gain experience. In the summers of 2012 and 2013, I landed my first job working for the City of Fremont as a recreational aide. I planned the curriculum, led activities, and supervised the children. Later, I worked at Children's Fairyland for almost two years. In October 2014, I began working at Hortensia's Way preschool, where I stayed for almost seven years. I cared for infants from four months to children up to eight years of age. I enjoyed working at a preschool because I had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of children, and I loved seeing them learn and grow. As a result of my years as a preschool assistant, I have experience in developing and implementing curricula, supervising and teaching children, as well as potty training and facilitating general play. I have nine early childhood education units, and I have worked for four years as a nanny, caring for infants who have grown into toddlers. I have assisted with tummy time, solids, engagement, and routines, as well as creating play spaces!

"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)."
