Simone $25 per hour for 1 child

I am certified in cpr and first aid training. Your child/children safety will always be my first priority. I am the nanny who can gently guide your child through learning activities, support their independence and foster creativity through play. Engage in development appropriate activities such as reading, play and arts and crafts. My purpose is to support families and provide a safe and nurturing environment for their little bundles of joy. I am an energetic and reliable nanny, and I have dedicated my life to meeting healthy developmental milestones in the lives of my tiny humans. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a number of families, supporting them through the joys and challenges. My experience includes fostering bravery, confidence, critical thinking, individuality, and emotional intelligence in all children under my watchful care. I have helped busy families raise their little ones, and I've helped them to have both, the courage and confidence to return to the workforce, and running their businesses, while the individuals holding the greatest amount of value in their lives, are safe and loved. I have dealt with children of various ages, personalities and interests. I look forward to connecting with you and being a reliable and caring support during this incredible journey of parenthood. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can assist you and your family.

Sarah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sarah. Since 2013, when I was basically a child myself, I began child care and education at the Little Theater of Alexandria, first by helping my mother with her theater classes, most often Drama Tots, which I had taken when I was a tot. A few years later, I began to run my own 30 minute session after hers, "Musical Theater Tots," where I taught children age 3 - 6 songs and simple choreography to perform at the end of the session. This transformed into "Little Singers," in 2016, a free fall class before Christmas where I instructed middle schoolers in harmonious caroling, to be performed in the Alexandria Scottish Walk. After graduating high school, I came back every summer to run camps like Frozen song and theater, Barbie craft and play, and most fruitful, the Hogwarts camp, where me and three other teachers gave 30 elementary and middle school students an immersive experience, complete with daily classes and a mystery throughout, ending in a duel. I also have babysat as well as au paired, and worked in the winter of 2020 at 826DC as an Educational Programs Intern, facilitating after school writing-related activities and readings for students age 9-15, including a sensory walk to Colombia Heights which culminated in a book, binded in-house. Making structured play for kids throughout the years—letting a class's minds go free—has been the most fun in my life, and I couldn't think of a better job or something better I am capable of doing for the world. I love my educators, remember and appreciate every single one. I would be honored to be able to give a gift back to the next generation. I attended Bennington College, which means that everything I want to encourage in children—to dance, write, collage, laugh, think—I want to structure my life around, I want to do professionally. I'm an artist who sees teaching and collaborating as intrinsic to the art process. At Bennington, a great deal of the experience was listening to others share their work, having to have an eye of critique as well as humanity. Teaching and educating is a resonant process, a mutual exchange, as well as a delicate relationship where in knowing young people, we have power we must hold responsibly.

Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi all, I am 28, and have been working at the New York Times for the last 3.5 years. Before that, I was working at the Bronx documentary center as a teacher, and before that at ICP as a teachers assistant. I babysat / nanny’d throughout all of my high school years. I am currently in pursuit of my MFA, which is why I am looking for a nanny-ing job. I am interested in both part time and full time. I live in Brooklyn, in Park Slope in the chiclet mansion with my boyfriend and two cats.

Suzanne $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Suzanne and I'm offering child care, cooking, household services, and any last minute overnights you might need for an adults night off! Living in Brooklyn, I enjoy staying active, whether it's a nice outdoor walk, or thinking up a fun indoor activity. My college degree was in educational psychology. I've been certified by Karma Kids to teach kids yoga, and enjoy many forms of movement. I've studied various meditation, mindfulness, & somatic techniques that can be applied in all variety of settings. Probably the most fun thing in my background was volunteering 6 years with Free Arts NYC, while working FT, and finding different ways to allow creativity to engage, empower, & have fun. I really enjoy babysitting and working with kids, making sure parents can feel at ease. I have watched all ages and have decades of experience and fun skills to offer. Open to drop offs + pick-ups via walking/subway/driving from school and activities, figuring out activities, crafts, and tutoring. I can also offer household assistance, meal prep, cleaning, and running errands. I'd love to see how I can brighten up your child and family's day!

"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)."
