Isabelle $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a 23-year-old mama looking for a full-time or part-time nanny position, available to start immediately. I'm looking for a family that is comfortable with me bringing along my daughter, who is 20 months old (as of June 4). Having her with me allows for built-in social interaction and playtime, and I'm committed to ensuring every child in my care receives attentive, loving, and reliable support. I have 7 years of experience working with children, including babysitting, daycare and preschool settings, and I've been a nanny for the past year. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have completed multiple Conscious Discipline trainings. I have experience with children of all ages and enjoy creating a nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment. I'm passionate about supporting children's growth through play, routine, and responsive care. If you're looking for a dependable and caring nanny I'd love to connect with your family to see if we're a good fit!

Hi! My name is Lapis, and I recently graduated from Bard College. I am offering babysitting, nannying, and household services! I’m a certified lifeguard, and I’ve been babysitting and nannying for 6 years. I’m certified in First-Aid and CPR. I am a good cook, I’m great at cleaning, and I speak good Spanish. Running errands, doing laundry, and managing household affairs comes easily to me. I’m athletic with lots of sports experience, and was captain of my tennis team in college. I have a degree in Theater and Performance, and have taken lots of studio arts and sociology classes. I’ve worked for six years with ages 3-16, though I do have experience with toddlers as well. I have lots of experience with pets, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, mice- you name it! I am willing to adapt to any schedule and am looking for a full-time opportunity. I look forward to meeting with you!

Celia $18 per hour for 1 child

I am from Danbury and I’m currently attending grad school online. I am very family oriented and love children. I started baby sitting when I was 12, and have babysat both on an “as-needed” basis and full-time. I love all ages, though I have the most experience working with newborn-toddler ages. I love being active, which is my favorite part of nannying/babysitting. Walking, going to the park, and interactive games are all things I find important for childhood development. I am very flexible with scheduling and different family arrangements as my graduate program is asynchronous and I have worked with all different kinds of families.

"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)."
