Abigail $28 per hour for 1 child

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.

Zainab $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Zainab , or as my kids like to call me: Miss Z! I am 19 years old and reside in the Saint James/Smithtown area. I am going to Suffolk county community college to pursue an associate degree in education but decided to take the spring semester off to get more hands on learning experience. Last semester I was offered a position as a preschool for six months as an assistant teacher and absolutely loved being there. I’m so passionate about children and I plan to make it my life’s work. I’m currently taking care of two kids ages 8 and 12 with autism and behavioral problems. However, that job will be ending next week which means I have more time to take care of YOUR kids! As a babysitter you can expect me to keep a neat and organized atmosphere and be an incredible nurturer. I plan fun education crafts on my own time that we can do. I love music dancing and singing so there’s always a lot of that, then of course: homework! I was a very studios kid in high school and can help out with homework in any grade level. I am able to cook as well. I love making Alfredo pasta and pizza! Helping your kids get dressed for school and ready for bed is important as well because it teaches them routine especially when you’re not there so children can feel stable. Thanks for taking a look at my profile and I do hope I hear from you soon!

"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."

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)."
