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.

Clarissa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clarissa, and I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny, household assistant, and caregiver. I’m a dependable, patient, and organized person who truly enjoys helping families create a safe, loving, and structured environment for their children. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including managing routines, school drop-offs/pickups, meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and engaging educational activities. As a mother of three myself, I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency in a home. Families describe me as nurturing, attentive, calm under pressure, and proactive. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, have a clean driving record, and always aim to support both the children and the household as a whole.

I have experience in senior care as I have been taking care of elderly family for over 10 years.

We have 2 dogs at home. As a Mother of 2 and Wife of 20+ years my household cleaning experience comes from the care I provide at home. I am willing to answer any questions and have no problem meeting before any job. I look forward to providing the best service in the area. Thank you and God Bless.

"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)."
