Hi there! I’m a 25- year-old nanny currently (for 1.5 years) caring for two amazing kids, aged 3 and 4 years old. Spending time with children brings me so much joy, and I’ve dedicated much of my life to roles that involve working with kids. My childcare experience includes: • Live-in nanny for three boys (ages 7, 10, and 13), managing busy schedules and lots of driving. • Nanny for a 2-year-old girl for 6 months. • Summer camp counselor for 5 summers, creating fun and engaging activities for kids aged 4–12. • Private tutor for children (ages 7–11) for 4 years, helping with math and English. • Party princess, face painter, and kids’ yoga teacher, adding magic and creativity to events. • Big sister to my 5-year-old sibling, caring for her since birth. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where kids can thrive. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities Besides working with kids I have a degree in architecture and have worked in this field as well.

“Thank you! Sara was great!”

Dzhanyl 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have 13 years of experience as a caregiver for children and elders. I can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. I am also open to evening and overnight elder care.

“Dzhanyl has been a wonderful nanny for our family for four years. She is extremely reliable, flexible, caring, and has 13 years of experience working as a nanny. I am looking for work in a different capacity: she would like to help families who need evening, overnight, and/or weekend care. She can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. She is also open to evening and overnight elder care, though we haven't employed her in that capacity. Dzhanyl began working with our family when our daughter was one year old in a part time capacity, and as our family has expanded to three kids (now 5, 3, and 1), so have her hours and responsibilities. In her current capacity, she primarily cares for our 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and occasionally for our 5-year-old. She is always eager to bring the kids outdoors to the park and playground, even if it’s rainy, snowy, or cold. She always shows up early for work, and has been very flexible to shift her schedule by the week to accommodate our calendars. She also helps with naptime, mealtime, pick ups and drop offs, and light housework. Additionally, she primarily speaks Russian to our children, but is comfortable speaking English if that’s preferred. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - happy to provide more on our experience.”

"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)."
