Joelle $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Joelle Guy. I’m 28 years old and a graduate of FIT in NYC, where I studied fashion and interior design. Alongside my creative freelance work, I’ve been nannying and providing childcare support for the past three years. I’m a very creative, nurturing, and energetic person who loves building meaningful connections with the families I work with. Outside of work, I love gardening and have my own urban garden, and I’m passionate about music, painting, arts and crafts, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy bringing those interests into my caregiving style to create fun, enriching, and engaging experiences for children. I offer childcare, babysitting, household support, senior support and dog-sitting/ house-sitting support. Child Care I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school aged children. I currently freelance nanny and babysit for multiple families in Brooklyn, including caring for a 1 year old girl, as well as a 6 year old girl and 4 year old boy. From May 2023 through October 2024, I worked as a part time nanny for a family with a 3 year old girl in Brooklyn Heights and Westchester. I love creating fun, creative, and educational activities for children. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, painting and creative projects, baking and cooking together, outdoor adventures and nature walks, visiting gardens and identifying plants, reading and imaginative play, sports and active play, and music and singing. I’m very creative and artistic, with experience in painting, design, music, and cooking. I love creative learning, meal preparation, and teaching children through hands on activities. I also play basketball, practice yoga, and enjoy encouraging healthy and active lifestyles. I have several years of hands on childcare experience working closely with families in NYC. You can also add CPR or First Aid certifications here if applicable. Senior Care: While most of my professional experience has been focused on childcare and household support, I’m a compassionate, patient, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others feel comfortable and supported. Pet Care: I have a 4 year old Mini Dachshund, so I am very familiar with the effort and care that goes into taking care of a beloved pet. They really are members of the family and should be treated as such.

Dzhanyl 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have 13 years of experience as a caregiver for children and elders. I can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. I am also open to evening and overnight elder care.

Dzhanyl has been a wonderful nanny for our family for four years. She is extremely reliable, flexible, caring, and has 13 years of experience working as a nanny. I am looking for work in a different capacity: she would like to help families who need evening, overnight, and/or weekend care. She can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. She is also open to evening and overnight elder care, though we haven't employed her in that capacity. Dzhanyl began working with our family when our daughter was one year old in a part time capacity, and as our family has expanded to three kids (now 5, 3, and 1), so have her hours and responsibilities. In her current capacity, she primarily cares for our 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and occasionally for our 5-year-old. She is always eager to bring the kids outdoors to the park and playground, even if it’s rainy, snowy, or cold. She always shows up early for work, and has been very flexible to shift her schedule by the week to accommodate our calendars. She also helps with naptime, mealtime, pick ups and drop offs, and light housework. Additionally, she primarily speaks Russian to our children, but is comfortable speaking English if that’s preferred. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - happy to provide more on our experience.

"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)."
