Lashell $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lashell, but most people call me Shelly. I’ve been working with children for the past five years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience I’ve learned just as much from them as they’ve learned from me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and crocheting, which help me relax and express my creativity. I’m currently a college student studying biology, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my care, patience, and enthusiasm to your family as a nanny or sitter

Nanipo $28 per hour for 1 child

A little about me... Good morning, my legal name is Nanipo, but you can call me Pépé. I'm 38 years old and from Togo. Since I was 15, I've been babysitting children of all ages, as it's a family job, and we always do it with great care. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including children with special needs. I'm currently looking for a full-time job. If you're looking for an energetic, honest, respectful, fun, and caring nanny, and especially flexible, look no further, because I'm everything you need. I'm the most punctual person in the world. I understand that time is money, so I strive to be punctual and prevent parents from being late to work because of me. You can even rest easy because I'll make sure all your baby's needs are met, and my former boss can attest to that. For me, the most important thing about being a nanny is, above all, ensuring the well-being of each child in my care, helping them with their physical and emotional development. Being part of each child's physical and emotional development is essential to me, as is being part of their families, creating unforgettable memories. Welcoming and giving love to these children, who, even when they're older, will always remember me with great affection and care, just as I remember them. I should also mention that I don't have any vices (I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't use drugs). I have a clean and clear criminal record.

Tywreana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Tywreana (ty-re-ana), a patient and hands-on nanny who specializes in keeping kids calm, engaged, and genuinely happy whether that’s through creative play, routines, or one-on-one attention. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely happy. I’m not just there to supervise, I build real connections with the kids I care for so they feel secure and enjoy their time with me. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience in both daycare and private nannying, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I love doing hands-on activities like painting, baking simple treats, and creating fun sensory play setups for younger kids. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child, and I make it a priority to communicate clearly and create a safe, comfortable environment every day. Parents can expect someone who is: • Dependable and on time • Attentive and patient • Communicative and respectful of your household • Focused on your child’s safety and well-being My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your child feels safe, cared for, and happy.

Some of the responsibilities I can take on are driving/walking to and from school, tutoring, cooking, cleaning, and playing games and sports! If you need errands run for you I will gladly take that on as well.

Yaskara $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yaskara, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids and teens. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel safe in a positive and loving environment. I’m known for being responsible, patient, and reliable, and I always treat every child like my own child with care and respect. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, and light household tasks to make parents’ lives a little easier. I’m comfortable with pets, have my own transportation, and I also use public transit around the city when needed. I speak both English and Spanish, which helps me communicate easily with families and kids from different backgrounds. I’m available for part-time, after-school, weekend, or date-night babysitting anywhere in NYC. Families who’ve worked with me describe me as dependable, caring, and easy to work with.

"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)."
