Raccia Skye 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you! I’m a 26-year-old with a wealth of experience in childcare and informal education. I have worked as a sitter/nanny for several families with school-aged kids (mostly 4-15) over the past 10 years, including children with disabilities. I am a former sleepaway camp counselor, lifeguard, and swim instructor. I have also tutored elementary students in English while abroad and worked as a teaching assistant in my local synagogue throughout high school, though I am not a particularly religious person. Some of my interests include arts and crafts, the outdoors, board games, reading and writing, cooking, and baking. I am also a cat owner and grew up with dogs so I am more than happy to help out with pets! My affect has been described as warm, wise, and practical, and I pride myself on my strong ability to place myself in another person’s shoes, as well as being a very responsible problem solver who is quick on their feet. I have also worked in food service, which can attest to my ability to work with a positive attitude even in fast-paced, high-stress situations, though caring for your child/ren will likely be much less stressful than working in a New York City restaurant! I would love the opportunity to talk and meet your family to see if we would be a good fit for one another’s needs and preferences.

Raccia is a detail-oriented, thoughtful, careful, and punctual sitter. They have solid communication skills and if anything in my directives aren't clear, they ask thoughtful clarifying questions. Raccia offers their ideas and input when needed or requested. They are great with follow-through and have been extremely consistent and reliable. Both of my kids really like and appreciate Raccia. I do as well. :)

Amelia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am a mom to a 3 year old boy looking to help you with your babysitting needs. In terms of experience, I have discovered my love of caring for children with my own son, and I have also previously fostered a dog several years ago. Would be happy to facilitate drop off / pickup from daycare, preschool, or school with your child(ren) safe & secure in my 4-seater, 5-point-harness wonderfold wagon (with rain cover). I hold a BA in English Literature and would also love to read with your child. Happy to cook/clean or do errands if you need. Note: My 3 year old would only join us if you need help evenings, weekends, or on days when his preschool is closed.

Bruna $27 per hour for 1 child

I recently moved back to NYC and I’m currently looking for a nanny position. I’m an experienced nanny with several years of childcare experience in Brazil and the U.S., caring for children from infants to school-age. I have a background in Psychology, which has helped me better understand child development, emotional needs, communication, and positive guidance. I’ve also volunteered with children with special needs, which taught me even more patience, empathy, and how to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a confident driver with a clean record, an excellent swimmer, pet-friendly, and comfortable helping with meal preparation, children’s routines, errands, light housekeeping, and household organization. Families describe me as warm, responsible, proactive, dependable, and energetic. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. My goal is always to provide families with reliable care and peace of mind while becoming a positive and trusted part of their children’s lives.

"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)."
