Anjana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Anjana, but I am called Annie by the kids I take care of. I am from Nepal, and I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Nepali. I received my Associate’s back in Nepal. I have at least 15 years of experience as a private, paid nanny for three families in the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. I also worked as a Montessori school teacher for 8 years in my country. My current nanny family is moving to a different state and I would love to meet new families and help out. I have held CPR, Baby Nurse, and Emergency First Aid certifications. I have assisted mothers during maternity leave to allow them to rest. I enjoy working with kids and helping them with their emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development. I am very attentive, monitor screen time, and plan age-appropriate activities. I love taking children outside to exercise and enjoy the weather on outings such as at parks, libraries, museums, and the zoo. I have also facilitated organizing playdates for the children. Some of my favorite activities include singing to and with children as well as reading. I am trustworthy, punctual, dependable, and maintain reliable communication with families and parents and have increased parental satisfaction as time goes on. I am very excited to meet you, and I am open to full-time, long-term positions. Thank you for considering me!

Maggie $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Maggie, 34, and kids have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in rural South Africa, where I ran youth programs, facilitated an overnight camp for 40 young women, and worked hands-on with kids and families in the community every single day. Since then I've built a career in international development, working with foundations and nonprofits around the world. These days I work as a consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes me really reliable for regular sits, last-minute evenings, or the occasional weekend. I'm patient, easygoing, and genuinely happiest when I'm playing, reading, or just goofing around with kids. I also speak French, so if you're looking for a little language immersion during playtime, I'd love to bring that in too. I take care of the kids I'm with like they're my own, and I'd love to meet your family!

"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)."
