📅 Available Starting Late October / November 2026 I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 8 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns to pre-teens. My expertise is in infant and toddler care, supporting children through important developmental milestones while creating a nurturing, engaging, and structured environment where children can thrive. For the past year, I have been caring full-time for the same child, starting when she was just 4 months old. During this time, I have been responsible for every aspect of her daily care and development, including sleep training, introducing solid foods, baby-led weaning, preparing homemade meals and snacks, transitioning from formula to whole milk, planning age-appropriate activities, and establishing healthy routines. My current family is relocating to New Jersey, so I am now looking for a new long-term full-time position starting in late October or November 2026. I take a proactive and development-focused approach to childcare, creating activities that encourage language development, motor skills, independence, social interaction, creativity, and confidence. I believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported.

Dayana was an absolute pleasure. She was our summer nanny and I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s willing and happy to do whatever is helpful to your family with zero ego. She’s kind, patient and a wonderful person to be around. Our children really loved her, also! I highly recommend her!

Hello all! I'm looking forward to meeting new families. I have been a childcare provider for twelve years and I love working with kids and babies. I went to FIT for fine arts, and I love to help children learn to paint 🎨 and explore their musical abilities (I teach guitar 🎸). I like to cook🥘, and my favorite meal to make is buttery cheesy pasta with veggies. I like to play music from jam bands like Kruangbin while helping with homework and studying. I know things have been challenging for everyone during this time, and I am happy to be a strong supportive presence for any family who needs me. Creating a positive, loving, tidy, and structured environment is very important. 📚It’s great to have reading time throughout the day and it’s important for kids to learn by example, so I like to read books to the younger kids, and have book time with the older kids where we all read our own personal books. My favorite book is The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow. For families that like to include technology in their little ones' routine, I like to use fun different language apps to help build a new linguistic foundation. I am an intermediate French speaker so practicing French, in particular, is fun for me. My most recent experience includes working with a 2 year old in Indonesia and two toddlers in Brooklyn. I love playing sports with kids and getting to run outside with them and have as much fresh air as possible. Tag and soccer are favorite games of mine and I like shooting hoops🏀 Everyone's safety is of the most importance, being strict about mask wearing, hand washing, and all around vigilance is essential. Be safe out there, and I wish you all luck on your search! Cassidy

"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)."
