Booked by 34 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! I am Heloísa, nice to meet you I am dedicated to my work and give one hundred percent to everything I do. I have been working with children since I was fifteen years old and have extensive experience in the field. Taking care of a child is much more than just a job, but rather a learning experience aimed at always building a bond of trust and care with the family and the child. I also offer other services such as cleaning/organizing and pet care. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to my profile!

Heloisa was a pleasure to work with for our date night. She was so sweet and accommodating as we coordinated. Great communication and was patient with me as I finalized the specifics of my night. She jumped right in to help with my 8 & 11 yo girls, and my girls felt comfortable with her right away. I, too, felt instantly comfortable that my girls were in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her.

Hi my name is Boubacar but I also go by Bou for short. I think I would be a great fit as I've been working with kids for a while and I love it. I love kids of all ages and I like to see them smile and having fun. I’m very fun, curious, I love to go on adventures, walk around, and try new things and do activities with the kids, also reading and playing games. I like to be active and I love when the kids are having fun. I love to meet new families. I also do work around the house such as lighthouse keeping. Looking forward to meeting you! :)

Booked by 125 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! I’ve got over 14 years of experience as a nanny/babysitter. I love to be active, get outside and creative with kids! I’m a big fan of walks and park play dates! I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. The most recent family I worked with regularly has three children; a five-year-old, a 22-month-old and a three-year-old. I was with them from the birth of the youngest and was also their nanny when they welcomed their third. I lived and traveled with them. I have stayed in touch with many other families I have babysat for over the years and still work with them (date nights, events, etc). Please feel free to contact me whenever you feel if you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Rhylie

Rhylie was great! Very open and hands-on and excellent with our 4 month old. Fully recommend!

Booked by 31 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hello. My name is Fernanda, I am 33 years old, and I am originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I used to work as a teacher in Brazil. But I came here to the US in 2018, to study and work as well. Both my parents are teachers too. I have a degree in education and worked in the area for the past 11years(mostly with kindergarten and toddlers but I do have experience with older and younger kids). In the US, Ive been living in NYC for the past 3 years. Here, I worked as a live in nanny and took care of 2 kids(4,6yo). While in Miami (2[removed]), I took care of 3 kids. (4months, 9 months and 2 year old) - I can share all references!! I am patient, and nice w kids. I do not believe in time outs. For me, the best way to deal with kids is talking to them and make them understand what’s wrong and what we can do together to solve the problem and make things better. Also, I have experience with autistic kids, twins and triplets, new borns(bottle feeding, Sleep training, Change diapers and bath) and I used to give math private classes for 7-9yo I have a CPR certificate(in person2018/renewed online 2020) and I have an ESL course at Columbia University (NYC), along with a ADHD course from the university of NY. I like to do crafts, cooking and play board games with the kids, also spend time outside is my favorite! I think spending time with kids is always fun because every and each kid is different and we learn a lot of things together. In my free time I like to go to the park, the beach and, I also like watching movies. I have a dog and a cat and I love spending time with them - my dad is a biologist and so I was always around animals growing up! (: Good communication is the key for me to have a great work relationship I am more than happy to help with and whenever I can. Feel free to message me!

"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)."
