Bruna $27 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to NYC and I’m currently looking for a nanny position. I’m an experienced nanny with several years of childcare experience in Brazil and the U.S., caring for children from infants to school-age. I have a background in Psychology, which has helped me better understand child development, emotional needs, communication, and positive guidance. I’ve also volunteered with children with special needs, which taught me even more patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a confident driver with a clean record, an excellent swimmer, pet-friendly, and comfortable helping with meal preparation, children’s routines, errands, light housekeeping, and household organization. Families describe me as warm, responsible, proactive, dependable, and energetic. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. My goal is always to provide families with reliable care and peace of mind while becoming a positive and trusted part of their children’s lives.

Hello! My name is Shelina, and I bring over 20 years of experience working with children, adults, and families across various educational and caregiving roles. I’ve had the privilege of working with special needs children and adults during my time at AHRC NYC, where I provided compassionate care, support, and education.

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

Booked by 2 families in Ridgefield, NJ

Hi! My name is Stella, and I currently work with Jovie Caregiving, where I’ve gained hands-on experience providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate childcare for families. I am also currently in nursing school with a strong interest in pediatrics and neonatal care, so working with children is something I’m truly passionate about both personally and professionally. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids through creative activities, games, and interactive learning. I’m also happy to assist with homework, daily routines, meal preparation, and cooking. My goal is always to make children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands!

Stella is absolutely lovely. She arrived early for a last minute booking, asked very thoughtful questions ahead of the booking, and was very attentive and engaging with my son. You can really tell she is a professional nanny. We will definitely book her next time we are in Newark.

"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)."
