Hi! My name is Abigail. I’m looking for a full-time job Monday to Friday from s7 A.M. to 5 P.M. I have over 25 years of experience caring for children, from newborns to teenagers. I’m also the proud mother of two adult children, so caring for children has been a big part of my life both personally and professionally. My daughter proudly serves in the U.S. Marine Corps, and my son is currently studying medicine. Raising them has been one of my greatest blessings and has taught me the importance of patience, kindness, responsibility, and unconditional love. I truly love working with children and enjoy helping them learn, grow, and feel safe, happy, and loved every day. I have extensive experience caring for newborns, including feeding, diaper changes, bottle preparation, nap routines, and creating a calm, loving environment. I also enjoy reading stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, helping with homework, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. I am CPR certified, have my own reliable car, and speak both English and Spanish. I enjoy teaching children Spanish through everyday conversations, books, songs, and play. I’ve had the opportunity to do this with several families I’ve worked with, and it has been wonderful to watch the children naturally learn a second language. Over the past 25 years, I have been fortunate to work with five wonderful families. I cared for their children from a very young age and had the privilege of watching them grow. I stayed with each family for many years, and my jobs naturally came to an end when the children started school and no longer needed full-time care. I have excellent references from all of the families I have worked with. They know me as a caring, dependable, patient, honest, and trustworthy nanny. I take pride in building long-lasting relationships with the families I work for, and many of them have remained an important part of my life. I live a healthy lifestyle. I don’t smoke, I don’t use drugs, and I always provide a safe, healthy, and positive environment for the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to become part of your family and care for your children with the same love, patience, and dedication that I have shared with families for more than 25 years.

Miranda West Babylon
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Miranda. After spending most of my adult life in the corporate world, I'm now pursuing my true passion—caring for children—as I seek a fulfilling career change. I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2017 with a degree in Sports Marketing. As the youngest of three siblings and a devoted animal lover, I bring warmth, energy, and a nurturing spirit to everything I do. Growing up in a home where childcare was a part of daily life, I’ve gained invaluable experience caring for children from a very young age. With a mother who has been a nanny for many years and ran a daycare out of our home, I’ve been around children for as long as I can remember. I have hands-on experience caring for children aged 9 months to 11 years and have built lasting relationships with families, some for as long as three years. I am passionate about providing a nurturing and joyful environment for children of all ages and personalities. My caring and energetic nature allows me to engage kids in outdoor activities, creative play, and anything else that brings them happiness. I look forward to bringing my love for children and commitment to their well-being to your family.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
