Booked by 9 families in Astoria, NY

Hi! I'm Sarah, and I’m a part time graphic designer, but right now I mostly nanny! I've been babysitting since middle school as the oldest of the kids in my neighborhood. I'm Red Cross certified (so if there's ever a choking hazard or a boo boo I'll be to the rescue!) and I love working with children, especially multiple children at once because I love to see their dynamic. I also love answering kids' questions and helping them learn and grow as individuals. I treat them with respect and autonomy, which builds their confidence as well as their comfort with me as a new adult in their lives. I hope you think I'm right for you! I request that you and your children be fully vaccinated with the latest rounds of COVID vaccines, as I want to keep myself, my family, and the other children I care for safe. Thank you!

Nathaly 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Nathaly! I’m a proud mom of two and bring years of hands-on parenting experience to the families I work with. Having homeschooled my children, I’m not only comfortable keeping kids engaged but also love to make learning fun through reading, crafts, and interactive play. 🍎 What I Offer • Nurturing, patient care with a mother’s touch • Healthy meal prep (I love to cook!) • Light housekeeping, laundry, and organizational help • A structured but warm approach that makes children feel safe and cared for. Other parents often tell me that they feel at ease knowing I’ve been in their shoes. I understand what it means to balance busy schedules, trust someone with your little ones, and want peace of mind at home. I take pride in being dependable, calm under pressure, and someone your kids will genuinely enjoy spending time with.

Great last-minute babysitter while I was visiting town! I have two kids and they absolutely loved having her around they even asked if they could see her again. Super grateful for her help!

"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

"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)."
