Hi, my name is Hannah. I am 33 years old, and I really enjoy babysitting and working with kids. I have had the privilege of spending time with my niece Hazel, who is now 18 months old. I taught mathematics at elementary, middle, and high schools for 2 years, and I was a math and English tutor for 2 high school students who did quite well. I also taught gymnastics to children during the summertime when I was in college. I am also responsible and hard-working. I live in Kew Gardens, Queens. I have a reliable car and a driver's license.

Yasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Yasha! I’m a full-time nanny with 5+ years of experience supporting children from infancy through early adolescence—including two years with Jumpstart’s early literacy program and three years as a private nanny to high-profile families in NYC. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I specialize in providing calm, emotionally attuned care for children navigating transition—whether that’s a new sibling, a big move, or loss in the family. My background also includes: School pickups, after-school routines, Bedtime transitions, travel prep, homework help, creative play, and extra-curricular support. I’m also a graduate of NYU with a professional background in film, theatre, and fine art. I love sharing my creative passions with the families I work with—don’t be surprised if your little ones start directing, writing, or starring in their own kitchen musicals. I bring warmth, consistency, and clear communication to every household I join. Currently available for full-time or high-retainer roles in the NYC area. Let’s connect and see if it’s a good fit!

Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

I currently work at a charter school and am a senior at Hunter College majoring in Mathematics with a minor in History. As a parent of two children in preschool and kindergarten, I understand how important patience, safety, and routine are for young kids. I am looking for a temporary nanny position that could possibly become long-term if schedules align. I have experience working with children in both school and home settings, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel supported. I am reliable, caring, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for children.

"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)."
