$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!

“Ava has beautiful warm energy and a fun spirit that inspired my girls to begin hugging her almost immediately upon meeting and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of her as a sitter. She took them out to dinner and shopping in SoHo and checked in regularly and, most remarkably (given time change since we are traveling), had them asleep by the time we returned from dinner. 💖”

Amelie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Amelie and I am originally from Boston, now living in NYC as a freshman at the Fashion Institute of Technology. For five years I worked as a sewing instructor at a sewing studio, teaching children from ages 4-15. I adore getting to know each kid and the variety of personalities that come with it. Teaching sewing has allowed me to help children develop confidence, focus, and self-expression through hands-on, engaging projects. I love guiding young learners through the process of turning ideas into something they can be proud of and seeing how they blossom creativity. Alongside that, I’ve spent several years providing babysitting and part-time care for children of various ages and needs. This has taught me how to adapt quickly, communicate clearly with both children and parents, and create a safe, supportive environment. My experience also includes working with children who have disabilities, which has deepened my understanding of how to personalize care and instruction with empathy and patience. I had dogs all through my childhood and have experience in pet sitting. I love all animals! I can clean, bake, and do basic cooking.

Anyah $19 per hour for 1 child

I am a scholar enrolled in Borough of Manhattan Community College. I lost my Home Health Aide job due to an unforeseen car accident that left me walking with a cane. Disability has cut me off but I feel that when one door closes another opens for better. I have worked as an after school counselor, a volunteer at many child events, have five well taken care of healthy animals in the home, and have been taking care of kids for longer than I can imagine. Need someone you can trust? Tired of looking? I like longevity as well, so please don’t hesitate to interview me. For school- grade kids I have created lesson plans, homework, I love helping with homework, and I am the distraction they need so you can get your tasks done.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi, I’m Alisha! I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced professional nanny with 8 years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age throughout NYC and the Tri-State area. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including siblings and multiple children at different developmental stages. I genuinely enjoy being hands-on and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. My experience includes newborn and infant care, bottle-feeding, introducing solids, nap and sleep routines, developmental play, sensory activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and school and activity transportation. I enjoy creating age-appropriate daily routines that balance learning, play, rest, and opportunities for children to explore their interests. I’m also happy to assist with child-related laundry, meal preparation, tidying, errands, and other household tasks that help a family’s day run smoothly. Alongside my hands-on experience, I’ve completed coursework through my Child Development Associate (CDA) and Early Childhood Education journey, strengthening my understanding of child development and developmental milestones. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. As a nanny, I’m patient, communicative, proactive, and adaptable. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I value open communication with parents and believe strong nanny-family relationships are built on trust, respect, consistency, and teamwork. I’m comfortable working independently or alongside work-from-home parents, and I enjoy becoming a trusted, valued part of a family’s support system. Whether we’re enjoying a quiet day at home, exploring the neighborhood, visiting a park or library, or trying a new activity, my goal is to make each day meaningful, engaging, and appropriate for the child’s age and development. I would love to connect with a family seeking a caring, experienced nanny who will genuinely invest in their children’s well-being, celebrate their milestones, and provide dependable, thoughtful support as they grow.

Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

My name is Sanai, and I’m 20 years old. I have over five years of experience babysitting children from ages 0 to 15. I started babysitting at a young age with my family and have also helped at my church by babysitting and teaching classes. A fun fact about me is that I’m CPR certified. I enjoy engaging children in creative activities such as arts and crafts, assisting with homework, preparing meals, and organizing outdoor games. I’m available to babysit from Sunday to Friday, but on Saturdays, I attend church from morning until evening. I am dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children.

“Sanai is very kind and timely. She is genuine and professional. I recommend 10/10. ”

"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."

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)."
