$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 9 families in Douglaston, NY

Hi I am a 23 years old with almost 4 years babysitting/nanny experience, full time and part time. I have a lot of experience with newborn to school-age stages. My schedule is very flexible I can do overtimes or stay in if needed, I'm also open to do weekends. I have a little sister who is 7 years old now I was mainly the one who raised her, that's why every now and then I have personal experience. Hoping that we can do set up an interview. Thank you!

“I highly recommend Yhanna as a caregiver. She is extremely professional, prompt and communicative. My 9 year old loved hanging out with her and I'll definitely be using her again. Yhanna is engaging, fun and I had an overall great experience with her. She is also very quick to respond to messages, which is something that I very much appreciated. Thank you Yhanna!”

Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophie, and I am a compassionate, creative, and highly organized caregiver with a strong background in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus in Film Production from The Pennsylvania State University, where I honed my skills in clear communication, problem-solving, and multitasking, abilities that translate seamlessly into providing attentive, high-quality care for children. Currently, I work as an Assistant Teacher for two-year-olds at The Learning Experience, where I support lead teachers in delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that foster early learning and social-emotional growth. Working with toddlers has deepened my understanding of this critical stage of development, from language acquisition to building routines and encouraging independence. I take great joy in guiding little ones through their daily discoveries, using patience, positivity, and creative play to create a warm and structured environment. Prior to this role, I served as an Au Pair, where I provided dedicated care for two children (ages 6 and 8). In this position, I managed daily schedules, planned engaging outings and activities, and fostered a safe, supportive environment that encouraged cooperation and positive social development. I also communicated regularly with parents to ensure their goals and expectations were consistently met. My experience as a Substitute Teacher in the Manheim Township School District further deepened my understanding of child development across grade levels. Working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade, I adapted lesson plans on the spot, managed diverse classroom dynamics, and built instant rapport with students and staff alike. Earlier, as a Day Care Teacher at U-Gro Day Care, I designed and implemented age-appropriate lesson plans, used positive reinforcement to guide behavior, and adapted my teaching to meet the unique needs of every child. I am also CPR-certified and have all required child care clearances, ensuring that your family's safety and peace of mind are always my top priorities. Beyond my professional credentials, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for helping children learn and grow. Whether it's organizing fun and educational outings, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I am committed to supporting each child's emotional and developmental well-being.

Shermie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shermie, and I’m an experienced, dependable nanny with over 4 years of professional childcare experience and more than 8 years of volunteer work with children. I’ve cared for children ranging from 5 months to 13 years old, with strong hands-on experience supporting infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I truly enjoy supporting families and making a meaningful difference in children’s lives. I bring patience, creativity, and a friendly, nurturing approach to every interaction. My experience with older children comes from volunteer roles, including working at summer camps and serving as a Sunday school teacher, which has helped me build strong skills in guidance, communication, and engagement across age groups. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology, giving me a strong understanding of child behavior, emotional development, and positive discipline strategies. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am comfortable with pets. I pride myself on creating safe, structured, and supportive environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I follow parents’ lead when it comes to household routines and rules, and I communicate updates in whatever way works best for your family—whether that’s verbal check-ins or regular texts. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a nurturing, fun, and reliable presence in your home, and I would love the opportunity to become part of your family’s support system!

"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)."
