Sara 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sara, I'm 33 years old, and I have 18 years of childcare experience, with 8 years as a dedicated career nanny. My passion is supporting children and families, and I've studied Elementary Education and Psychology at UNC Charlotte. My experience includes working with children from two weeks old to school age, and I specialize in infant care, sleep training, and milestone development. I am also skilled in homework help and activity planning, such as museum visits, music, and science projects. I am a detail-oriented, intuitive, and emotionally attuned nanny who thrives in homes that need a proactive and communicative presence. I offer family assistance services in addition to childcare, including meal preparation, scheduling, home organization, and travel support. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I assisted a family with five children with virtual schooling, managing their schedules, technology, and classroom participation. I also provided homework and school project assistance to support their academics. I enjoy traveling and have had the opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally with families. One memorable experience was accompanying a family with four children, ages 2-8, to Milan, Italy, where I provided childcare, assisted with homeschooling, and helped the family adjust to life abroad. I also have experience providing extended overnight care, for up to two weeks at a time. I am passionate about emotional well-being and believe in open and honest communication. My goal is to help your family function at its best, and I enjoy coming alongside families who need an extra set of hands to build strong relational bonds with their children. I am independent, organized, and have developed a sense of anticipating needs. I look forward to the opportunity to help improve your family's daily life.

Sara is the most maternal and thoughtful caregiver. She has perfect instincts and is always advocating for the best for children. She is a great communicator and will respectfully work with parents to raise their children. She is very experienced and is able to take care of newborns to teenagers. I highly recommend her for all types of childcare.

Booked by 2 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an experienced caregiver and recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. I currently work full time as an Operations Specialist at a high school, where I support over 500 students and help manage the day to day systems that keep the school running smoothly. Alongside my professional role, I babysit part time because childcare has always been something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I have years of hands on experience caring for children of all ages, including babysitting for family, friends, and private clients. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play, organizing fun and enriching activities, helping with homework, or maintaining structured routines, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel supported and comfortable. I’m First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, so safety is always a top priority in my care. Additionally, I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese and am happy to communicate in whichever language best supports your family’s needs. Beyond childcare, I also have experience with pet care, so if you have furry family members, they’ll be well looked after too! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring community events, and playing chess. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

She was awesome!

I have a degree in computer science and can can tutor your child in math and coding. For Seniors: I can offer seniors companionship and help with basic tasks around the house like cooking and cleaning. With seniors I love to have long chats and hear life stories (I'm a patient listener!) , play card games/backgammon/chess, or take them on walks depending on mobility. For Animals: I primarily have experience caring for dogs, and can also care for cats. I take care of dogs that are small to large (larger dogs must be more friendly, but I don't mind a small dog with trust-issues). I can take dogs on long walks and to the park. I don't have a car but can escort to and from schools or appointments via walking, public transit, or Uber.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hello, My name is Ms.K , and I’m a dedicated, caring, and reliable nanny with 7 years of experience supporting families and nurturing children from infancy through school age. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can grow, learn, and explore their interests. I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. My approach balances warmth and playfulness with clear communication and consistency. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or maintaining routines, I always strive to make each day positive and enriching. I’m certified in CPR/First Aid and have experience with infants/toddlers/school-age K-12. I align my developmental milestones for the children with the CDC. I am experienced in feeding, change, tidying, burping , helping with the sleep schedule, reading to them, speaking to them about colors and shapes, helping them to crawl by giving them toys to reach towards to stimulate their development. I have also spent several years in the classroom setting as an assistant program manager for after school scholars. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and proactive — someone who truly becomes part of the family. I look forward to bringing my skills, energy, and genuine love for children to a welcoming household. I look forward to connecting with you!

Keionyi has been a nanny for our three boys on and off over the past three years, and she’s been such a huge help to our family. She’s great with the kids — always patient, dependable, and fun to be around. She helps with light cleaning, the boys’ laundry, meal prep, and school drop-offs and pick-ups. She’s also really good at keeping them busy with activities they actually enjoy. We’ve been so lucky to have her, and I’d highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is caring and reliable.

"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)."
