I'm a creative new york native nanny. I have been a career nanny for the last 9 years and has cared for children ages newborn to eight including a set of twin girls! I've traveled domestically and internationally with families. I love to engage children through art , music, culture and put in attention to detail on activities and communication style to each child. I'd describe myself as an excellent communicator, proactive, reliable and punctual and a child whisperer!

Booked by 2 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Fatoumata (Fah-tu-mah-tah), and I’m a New York native who loves working with children and getting to know new families. I’ve been babysitting for about nine years and have experience caring for children of different ages and needs. I also have professional experience as a Home Health Aide and Personal Care Assistant, which has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, responsibility, and providing attentive care. I enjoy reading—especially reading to kids—going on walks, spending time outdoors, listening to podcasts, and trying new things. As a New Yorker, I’m always excited to explore different parts of the city, and I love finding fun, age-appropriate activities and adventures to enjoy with the kids I care for. I’m also comfortable helping with light cooking, tidying up, and other household tasks related to childcare. I’m happy to discuss additional ways I can support your family. I’m comfortable working with pets.

“Fatou is sweet and personable. My mother felt very comfortable with her and I appreciate that. She was on time and is very responsive. As a native New Yorker, I didn’t have to explain where things were which was great. Will definitely repeat ”

Hi! My name is Francie and I just graduated from Williams College. I am a babysitter and tutor, and am also willing to work with animals. I have experience in babysitting elementary and toddler-aged children, but am excited about working with other ages. I also have experience tutoring my younger brother, who had learning difficulties, so am comfortable working with kids who might have difficult relationships with school work. In the past I've dropped kids off and picked them up, done crafts with them, taken them to the playground, read with them, made up dances, and otherwise tried to have them to creative activities. Please let me know if I can give you any more info!

"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)."
