Kristel Ann $35 per hour for 1 child

I am excited about the opportunity to become a full-time or part-time nanny for your family. I have over 7+ years of hands-on experience working with busy parents and their children providing dependable childcare while also helping managing the household to make everyday life easier for families. I completed my certification in 2021 for LTSS (Long-Term Services and Support) in Montreal, Canada. I speak both English and French fluently. I moved here from Canada over a year ago. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I also have over 5+ years of experience working as an orderly (PAB) for seniors privately, within retirement homes and CHSLDs. I take pride in supporting children’s healthy development, academic success, and overall well-being. Communication with parents is very important to me. I make it a priority to check in with parents regularly to discuss their children’s progress, development, any concerns or expectations. I am available Monday to Friday (weekends in urgent cases only). I am able to complete school drop-offs and picks-ups, if it’s within walking distance of your home. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, reliability, organization, and genuine care for children to your family. I’m happy to provide references, and my phone number upon request. I recently discovered urbansitter, prior to this, I was placed directly with families by an agency in Astoria. I would be happy to provide their contact info as they also have all my references on file. Thank you for considering me. I hope to hear from you soon! 😊

“I’m a forty-one year old dedicated caregiver with extensive experience nurturing children and serving my community. Through my six years in home care and work as a recruiter for a home care agency, I’ve developed strong caregiving skills and understand what it means to truly care for others. I currently work for WorkForce1, a job placement center for New York City, where I help people find employment and build better lives. My passion for helping youth led me to start my own nonprofit focused on supporting kids and teens in my neighborhood. I’m also an active member of Uptown United, a community organization dedicated to giving back to our elderly, youth, and anyone in need through annual events and ongoing support. I regularly care for neighborhood teenagers and am excited to extend that care to younger children as well. My approach to childcare comes from a place of genuine love and community service. I believe in creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive, and I bring both professional caregiving experience and a heart for service to every family I work with

Booked by 1 family in Astoria, NY

Hello! I'm Samira 😊 I have been taking care of children since I was 17 years old, and over the years it has become something that feels very natural to me. I have worked as a nanny and Au Pair with children of different ages, helping with their daily routines, school collections, activities and simply being part of their daily life. I really enjoy working with kids because I naturally connect with them. I’m a very patient, empathetic, and attentive person, and I pay close attention to their emotions and needs. I like creating a calm, positive environment where they feel comfortable, but also keeping things fun and engaging through play and simple activities. I’m also reliable, organized, and someone families can truly count on. I value building a trusting relationship and bringing a warm, positive energy into the home. I am a native Spanish speaker (I'm originally from Argentina) and I speak English fluently, and I am happy to incorporate both languages naturally if that is something you would like.

It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for Samira, who served as an extraordinary au pair for our family over the past eighteen months. Samira joined our household when our daughter was just two and a half years old, and she cared for her until she turned four. From day one, Samira exceeded every expectation, demonstrating an incredible mix of responsibility, warmth, intelligence, and grace. Samira was far more than a traditional caregiver; she was a dedicated educator, a nurturing role model, and an irreplaceable part of our child’s early development. It is completely natural for parents to feel anxious or cautious when bringing someone new into their home to care for their children. We certainly understood that initial worry, but meeting Samira immediately put all of our concerns to rest. She made an incredible first impression. Her warm, friendly, curious, intelligent, and grounded personality was instantly clear, as was her natural ability to connect with young children. From the very beginning, her genuine commitment to childcare and family well-being shone through. Throughout her tenure with us, Samira displayed an exceptional ability to balance the complex responsibilities of childcare. She seamlessly navigated the delicate act of being a clear disciplinarian, an engaging teacher, and a joyful, trusted friend. She introduced creative educational concepts and fun learning activities daily, teaching our daughter so much while keeping her continually engaged, safe, and curious about the world around her. She handled every routine, challenge, and daily transition with immense patience and supreme politeness. By the end of her term with us, the bond between Samira and our daughter was nothing short of wonderful. Watching our daughter grow, learn, and thrive under Samira's care was a great joy for our family. Samira was not only a caregiver our daughter trusted implicitly, but also a true role model whose positive habits, kindness, and strong values left a lasting impact. I can say without a single hesitation or reservation that there is strictly no negative comment to make regarding Samira’s time with us. She is prompt, highly responsive, dependable, and thoroughly capable of handling any childcare need, whether full-time, part-time, early morning, or evening care. She is a guaranteed, top-tier choice for any family fortunate enough to work with her.

Mickael $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello to all! I am a rising Junior at Columbia University studying philosophy looking to babysit. I have worked babysitting jobs before back home in DC for parents of my school. Throughout those experiences, I've always appreciated the connection I was able to form with the kids as I watched them progress and grow. I have also worked as a soccer coach for refugee children through a program offered at my high school. Through this experience I was able to better understand how to lead groups of kids for physical activity while also making sure they are just having fun. Furthermore, I come from an international background and can speak three languages (English, French, and German) and really enjoy imparting some linguistic knowledge on the kids who are willing to learn. In doing this job, it is my goal to be someone the kid can laugh with, learn with, and play games with as I take the weight of having children off your shoulders for hours at a time.

"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)."
