Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Grace, an NYU graduate student and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I love spending time with kids and helping them have fun while they feel safe and cared for. I've worked with children in schools, museums, and community programs, and I enjoy getting outside, reading together, making art, or simply following their curiosity. I'm calm, dependable, CPR/First Aid certified, and happy to help with light housekeeping or pets. I'm hoping to find a family I can get to know over time and become someone your child is excited to see.

“Grace is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She is especially wonderful with children. She has a natural ability to make kids feel comfortable, understood, and engaged, while still being responsible and attentive. She is patient, creative, calm under pressure, and someone parents can trust completely. I would recommend Grace without hesitation. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their children.”

Maryam 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Maryam, and I am a New York Native. I take pride in caring for children like me who are born and raised in the city, and I always bring in their unique experiences within my care. I prioritize the safety and security of the children in my care, so I have an active certification in First Aid and CPR. On a professional level, I have experience working as a teacher at a non profit education program in Tribeca for children ages 6-9. I have also worked as a summer camp instructor for incoming first graders in East Harlem. On a personal level, I am the oldest of 4, and caregiving was a natural part of my childhood. For the age of 12, I was responsible for my younger siblings ages 1-9. I also provided care for other families in my neighborhood with them citing my dependability as the primary reason they trust me with their children who were in a similar age range to my siblings. Through these experience, I learned to be nurturing, creative, and responsible. I am able to plan fun and engaging activities, keep kids on a schedule, make healthy snack and light meals for children of every dietary restriction, and provide homework help. I especially love exploring the city, so I always incorporate activities that allows children to engage with their urban backyard. I also have experience caring for infants- feeding, diapering, burping, tummy time, nap time etc - and I have general knowledge of infant safety and development. I also learned that I need to remain flexible in order to adapt to the unique needs of the children in my care. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets, and I have a special affinity for cats. Caring for children comes naturally for me. I love to be there for every milestone and to guide them through every pain point, and I am excited to care for little ones through it all.

“Maryam was an incredible group leader to work alongside. She always created such a fun and positive environment for both the kids and staff. What stood out most was how patient and nurturing she was, especially when children were having emotional breakdowns. She handled every situation with kindness, empathy, and understanding, making each child feel safe, heard, and valued. Maryam also did an amazing job recognizing and rewarding positive behavior while constantly reminding the kids of their worth and encouraging them to believe in themselves. Her leadership, compassion, and genuine care made a lasting impact, and I truly enjoyed working with her.”

"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)."
