Montse $30 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced childcare provider with 5 years of full time nanny experience, including live in, and have been babysitting for much longer. I pride myself in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I am dedicated to ensuring children's well-being and development, implementing age-appropriate activities, and developing strong relationships with parents. I have experience taking children to various activities, organizing educational and recreational outings, and managing all household tasks related to the child. I love art in my personal life and like finding ways to implement that through age appropriate crafts! My full time experience has been primarily infants and toddlers, but I have experience with all ages. I am young and energetic which helps me really keep up with busy children and develop deeper connections. I absolutely love this job and aspire to be a career nanny, this is not temporary for me, so I would really love to find a family I can grow with long term. I am travel ready (global entry, valid passport) and comfortable traveling both domestically and internationally for work. I am CPR/First Aid certified and knowledgeable in water safety.

Ami $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ami, and I am currently a college student offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting since a young age and have experience caring for children ranging from ages 1–12. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, helping with crafts and activities, tutoring, and creating a safe and fun environment. Making fun and healthy meals! ( cooking is one of my favorite hobbies) In addition to childcare, I also have experience house sitting, running errands, and providing general household help. I can also be dog walker and have experience caring for cats back home, so I’m very comfortable around pets and would love the opportunity to help care for yours as well. I am responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy helping families however I can.

Quinn $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I am a teacher of English as a New Language at a middle school here in Brooklyn, supporting students grades 5-8 with their English language acquisition. I come with an extensive background, and am excited to find roles with potential for a long-term partnership! The cornerstones of my style would be fun, structure, and close collaboration with the family. What this looks like is unique to each family and each role, and I come with lots of questions. It's important to me to establish a foundation of communication early on and to align my approach with the family's values. In the past, this has meant getting outside, art or cooking projects, indoor play with games and manipulatives, and reading, all organized around meal and rest/nap times. I have a mellow personality (more of a listener) but am also physically active and all-in for a game of tag or a day of swimming! Being an educator, I enjoy a good field trip and am happy to take children on outings. I am safety-conscious and attentive at all times, and I like to minimize screens including my own. What I love most about childcare is the bond developed with the child and the memories I've made, even with short-term roles. I hold a Bachelors in Political Science and a TESOL certification. I'm happy to provide a resume with detail on my 10+ years of work with children, as well as references and a copy of my first aid certification, upon request. Looking forward to connecting!

Lulu $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lulu, and I’m a Montessori-trained early childhood educator with a deep love for nurturing curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young children. I recently spent several years in London working in both hospitality and family environments before moving to New York, and I bring a warm, calm, and thoughtful approach to caregiving. Most recently I worked as a Lead Guide in a Montessori Young Toddler classroom, supporting children 15-24 months through independence-building activities, emotional development, and hands-on learning. I love creating environments where children feel safe to explore the world around them while developing their own sense of capability. Alongside childcare, I’m also a trained yoga and meditation practitioner, and I enjoy bringing elements of mindfulness, movement, and calm into the day—whether that’s through breathing exercises, stretching, or simply creating peaceful moments in a busy toddler schedule. Creativity is a big part of my life as well. I work in floristry and love incorporating nature into activities with children—flower arranging, nature walks, seasonal crafts, and sensory play inspired by the outdoors. I believe children thrive when they can engage with beauty, texture, and the natural world. I also volunteered with 240 Wellbeing, supporting community mental health initiatives, which has deepened my understanding of emotional care, empathy, and supporting both children and families through life’s ups and downs. Families often describe me as calm, attentive, and deeply engaged with children. I value building trusting relationships with both parents and little ones, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where children feel seen, respected, and joyful. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for 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."

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)."
