Nardalina 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nardalina, I have a genuine passion for working with children. My journey began in high school when I started babysitting for close friends and family. What began as a side hustle quickly grew into something I truly loved. During my freshman year of college, my mother opened a family daycare, where I worked part-time caring for children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. During this time I achieved my OCFS certification and CPR certification. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience in nurturing, engaging, and supporting children through every stage of early development. I've cherished every moment-from watching little ones hit their milestones to building the kind of bond that lasts long after the day ends. It brings me so much joy to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where kids can thrive. I would love to meet your little ones and make meaningful memories with them!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nardalina care for our three children over the past two years, and she has truly become a part of our family. From the very beginning, Nardalina showed incredible warmth, patience, and a natural ability to connect with each of our kids. She created a loving, safe, and structured environment where our children thrived. Whether it was school runs, preparing meals, helping with homework, or simply playing and engaging with them, she handled every task with professionalism, care, and joy. Nardalina is exceptionally reliable, always punctual, and someone we trusted completely. She communicated clearly with us every day, keeping us informed and always putting the kids' well-being first. Our children absolutely adore her, and we were constantly impressed by how much love and attention she gave them. We are beyond grateful for everything Nardalina has done for our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as their nanny. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Sara 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Secaucus, NJ

Hi - My name is Sara, and I’m currently a second-year master’s candidate in the Department of Environmental Health Science as part of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. I enjoy babysitting and have grown up helping family and friends by caring for infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16. My responsibilities have included changing diapers, warming bottles, making snacks, watching them while the parents are away, getting them ready for bed, walking them to their bus stops, storytelling, and even some arts and crafts! I worked with multiple clients as a self-employed private educator overseas for ~5 years. I taught a self-developed curriculum based on the experts’ approach to teaching English as a foreign language. I tutored English, Science, Mathematics, and History for students in international schools. (1st grade to 12th). As well as English reading and writing for students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia. Additionally, I assisted in developing the curriculum for Happy Bees overseas before the grand opening and held a preschool and kindergarten teacher position. I volunteered at a nursing home throughout high school. I recently received a bachelor of science degree in community health, which has deepened my understanding of populations in every age group. As the years pass, I’ve been assisting my parents with more tasks and am very comfortable with senior care. I can do light cooking, help with organizing, or other responsibilities. (I also enjoy technology-free conversation zones and board games). I am a big fan of pets! I’ve had turtles, birds, and cats. I have five cats back home, one of which is the queen, who gave birth to three healthy kittens in my bed, refusing to do so anywhere else in the house. Of course, I was there for her every step of the way, soothing and feeding her calming treats. I am very familiar with their care and needs. While I’ve never had a dog, I’ve walked my friends’ and thoroughly enjoy their company. If needed, I am open to day/weekend-long babysitting, pet care, and housesitting.

Sara was lovely with our three-year old daughter!

Hello! My name is Devan, and I am an MFA candidate at Bard College. I have experience with social work, childcare, and retail management. I am a queer trans Latina and the primary caretaker of my seventy-year-old mother. I have three nieces and a nephew and grew up as the designated babysitter in my family. I transitioned in high school in a small town in Tennessee, and feel I can offer creative mentorship, support, and friendship to queer children. As I'm enrolled in a low-residency graduate program, I am unavailable in June and July. Thank you for your consideration!

Beatriz $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Secaucus, NJ

With over six years of teaching experience, I bring a deep understanding of child development and education to every caregiving role. Most recently, I taught second grade at Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, following several years of teaching in San Francisco public schools. I hold a Master’s in Elementary Education and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, which together give me a well-rounded perspective on the academic, emotional, and developmental needs of children, especially in the elementary age range. My approach to caregiving is rooted in empathy, consistency, and clear communication. I create environments where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged to be curious. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I value the importance of both structure and play. My background allows me to support children not only in their day-to-day routines but also in fostering their confidence, independence, and emotional well-being.

"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)."
