Nalindrani $25 per hour for 1 child

I love children and I am a mother to a lovely baby boy. I bring tonnes of empathy, love into my job and engage with kids by encouraging their development. I also hold a Master's degree and can help with tutoring. Since I am a mother myself, I am looking for a job where I can bring my baby and watch kids.

Liana $20 per hour for 1 child

Currently working for a daycare mainly with toddlers (2-3) but often moved to infants all the way to preschool. Looking for an easier environment (20 2y/os is definitely a lot). I’m great with understanding children’s emotions and helping with development and regulating feeling. I’ve got a lot of energy to keep up with the fun things especially going outdoors to parks, on trips and making up fun games on rainy days. I’d love to work with one child as much as I’d be glad to work with three. I can easily commute around Manhattan as I live one stop in the train from Penn which only takes me 10-15 minutes and I’m well versed with the city.

Amanda $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Amanda, but everyone calls me Mandy! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic person who genuinely loves being around children. I’m the oldest of five, so caring for younger kids, helping around the house, cooking, and keeping things organized have always been a big part of my life. A little fun fact, back in Puerto Rico, where I'm from, I was always called "Amanda La Que Manda" (Amanda the one in charge), as I was always eager to help and take on tasks! For about six months, I regularly cared for an 8-year-old and a 3-year-old. I picked them up from school, helped with homework, took them to activities, prepared meals, and spent the afternoon making sure they were happy, safe, and cared for. I’ve also occasionally babysat overnight for a 4-year-old and a 10-year-old. I also have experience caring for my dad, as he is in a wheelchair, and assisted him when needed help with everyday tasks, including preparing and feeding him meals, helping with personal care, and making sure he had everything he needed. This taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for someone with compassion. I’ve completed an internship with a pediatrician, where I learned more about children’s health and safety, and I’ll be volunteering at a pediatrician’s office this fall. My dream is to become a pediatric emergency physician, so caring for children is something I truly love and feel passionate about. I’m available for part-time and/or full-time nanny care after 12:30 PM. I can help with school pick-ups, homework, meals, playtime, activities, bedtime routines, and light tidying related to the children. I’m CPR & AED trained and would describe myself as kind, patient, dependable, attentive, and responsible. Most importantly, I want every child I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me!

"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)."
