Hi, my name is Annette! I’ve been a professional nanny for over 15 years, caring for children from newborns through 13 years old. Alongside my professional experience, I’m also a mom to a 4-year-old and a 13-year-old, which gives me an even deeper understanding of what families need and value in childcare. While being a nanny is my profession, it’s also something I genuinely love. Being present for children, supporting their growth, and helping them feel safe and supported is what drives me. As a parent, I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child — you’re trusting them with the most important part of your life. I treat every child in my care as if they were my own. My role is to keep them safe, nurture them, and build trust so they know I’m there for them when their parents can’t be physically present. I approach every family relationship as a partnership. We all rely on each other, so open communication and transparency are very important to me. I’m here to support your parenting style, not overstep boundaries — I’d want the same respect when it comes to my own children. My goal is to provide stability and peace of mind, and I hope every family I’ve worked with would agree that I do just that. Fun fact about me: I’m the mother of a daughter with a cochlear implant (she was born with profound hearing loss). Through that journey, I’ve developed a lot of patience and hands-on speech therapy skills, which I also bring into my work as a nanny. As the saying goes — it takes a village! I look forward to working with new families and reconnecting with past families as well. 💛

Annette was very personable and warm. She provided updates hourly and both of my kids loved her :) I felt very at ease with Annette and we are looking forward to working with her again!

Hello, I'm Xiomara. I absolutely adore working with children. I have experience with babies; toddlers and pre-school age, as well as pre- teens in an academic setting. I am sweet, nurturing and very caring. Parents and teachers I have worked with describe me as warm, very patient, kind, empathetic and enthusiastic. I started working with children, and families, when I was 18 years old. I treat children with love as if they were my own. I am intuitive and attentive to all aspects of a infant needs, from diaper changes to being bottle fed, cuddles, tummy time, nap time to making healthy purées. I also love to read, speak and sing to them throughout the day. With older kids, I promote fun and positivity, safety and encourage a child's natural talent. I can also prepare healthy food, keep kids engaged in play, and read stories while giving voices to each character! I love to arrange play dates, help children meet & make new friends, as well as introduce them to their surroundings, neighborhood & nature. I am active and participate in every activity from arts, music classes, to the playground. There's always an adventure to be had! I love cats and have taken care of them and dogs, if you have pets it's ok with me. I am a native of New York City. I have worn many hats throughout life but I feel working with children is the most meaningful and fulfilling line of work. I hope to meet a family that would like me to be a part of a team to help keep their children safe, happy, loved and learning every day. In my spare time, I am passionate about the healing arts, music, meditation, nutrition, writing, film, photography, dancing, swimming, cycling, & yoga. I am currently looking for opportunities to care for children Part Time or Full time for the right family. Please let me know if you have any questions, I hope to hear from you soon! Best wishes, Xiomara

Xiomara is an exceptional nanny who has been wonderfully caring for our 5-month-old daughter Arianna. Her expertise goes far beyond basic childcare - she brings a thoughtful, creative approach to engaging our baby. Her activities are carefully designed to support Arianna's development, including tummy time, reading, interactive playtime, and introducing musical experiences by playing music and bringing her own musical instruments. What sets Xiomara apart is her perfect balance of being both calm and energetic, adapting her approach to our baby's needs. She is extremely cautious and safety-conscious, carefully monitoring our daughter during activities and outings. She listens attentively to our parental instructions and demonstrates a genuine, holistic care for our baby's health, emotional well-being, and developmental progress. The most heartwarming aspect is how much our baby loves her - Arianna always greets Xiomara with a big, joyful smile, which speaks volumes about the wonderful connection they've developed. We are delighted to have Xiomara as part of our small family and look forward to continuing our wonderful journey together.

Hello! I’m Max, a dedicated father to a 6-year-old boy and a seasoned child care professional with over a decade of experience. My background spans various educational and recreational settings, including roles as a Pre-K specialist, PE instructor, and summer camp division leader. I’ve managed over 129 babysitting bookings on Urbansitter, receiving 47 five-star reviews from satisfied families. My experience extends from working with infants to older children, and I've been actively involved in schools, camps, and after-school programs. This includes babysitting occasionally, teaching PE, sports clinics, martial arts, and leading trips with responsibility for both staff and students. I take pride in connecting with kids through my sense of humor and caring nature. As a black belt in martial arts, I incorporate this into my work with school programs. I also love engaging children in STEM projects, arts and crafts, and sports. I’m familiar with popular children's shows and games like Pokémon, Frozen, Minecraft, and Bluey, and I make an effort to connect with kids by sharing their interests. I’m skilled at resolving conflicts, multitasking, and providing a supportive environment where children feel heard. My activities include reading books, hands-on STEM projects, arts and crafts, sports, board games, puzzles, and enrichment activities upon request. I’m CPR and RTE certified and look forward to learning more about you and your children. Thanks for considering me for your babysitting needs!

Maxbova was punctual, attentive, and followed our son’s routines perfectly. He kept him engaged with playful activities, communicated updates throughout the day, and cared for him with kindness and skill. We felt completely at ease knowing our son was in such capable hands.

"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)."
