Julia 1 review
New York
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Julia and I am an experienced childcare provider with a strong background in early childhood care, special-needs support and creating structured, engaging routines for children. I have worked with infants, toddlers, school-age children and non-verbal children through my DSP experience, and I am confident adapting to each child’s individual needs. I approach childcare with a calm, nurturing and safety-focused mindset. I’m attentive, patient and extremely reliable — the type of caregiver who communicates clearly, arrives early and maintains a stable environment where children feel secure. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, sensory play, crafts and simple educational games that keep children engaged in a positive way. I respect each family’s home, routines and parenting style. My focus is always on the child’s wellbeing, consistency, and comfort. During my shifts, I’m happy to tidy up activities or meals related to the children so everything stays organized and smooth for parents. I am based in NYC, flexible with scheduling and comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, playtime, naptime, and bedtime. I would love the opportunity to support a family that values communication, consistency and genuine care.

My wife and I hire Julia for our date nights and she has been amazing with our 2Yr old. She has a calm, patient way with him that puts us at ease as soon as we walk out the door. He’s very active and curious, but Julia always keeps him safe, engaged and on his routine. She handles everything — dinner, bath time and bedtime without any issues and we always come home to a peaceful house and a happy kid. She also gives us quick updates so we never have to worry. As a dad, I can honestly say she’s one of the few sitters we fully trust. Highly recommend her for any family who wants stress-free nights out. — Dad of a busy toddler

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi, my name is Isabel and I have been a nanny/babysitter on/off for about ten years. I am bilingual and fluent in English and Spanish. I love the park and teaching kids new things as well as art. I am able to do some light cleaning and am good with animals as well.

Our little guy (almost 3) is still talking about what a great time he has yesterday with Isabel who came as a backup sitter. So appreciative of her and that they had such a great day ☺️

Archie 9 reviews

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Archie, a 33-year-old artist & nanny living in Brooklyn, NY. Thanks for taking the time to read a bit more about my work as a care professional! I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, neurodivergent kids, and children with physical disabilities. I am well-versed in paced bottle feeding, developmental milestones, potty training, and approaches outlined in essential texts like "Big Little Feelings." To this work, I bring my own beliefs in time spent outdoors, laughter, emotional intelligence, self-expression, curiosity & the importance of arts/creativity! I'm an active play participant *with* the child - we can travel far and wide in our imaginations! When things get tough, I am here to listen, validate, and help find solutions that honor the child's needs and the healthy boundaries of other children and adults. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I also carry the belief that all children should be nurtured to live their truth in all that they do! It is important to mention that I am transgender, so I would only be able to work with families who can embrace that. While this is a truth about me, personally (and is something children are often curious about), I never "push" that idea on children or try to persuade them to be anything other than who they are! Playtime is serious business for me & I am always thinking of new ways to help kids discover, learn, & grow through our relationship. Put simply, I will care for your children, your home, and family as if they were my own. I hope to meet you & your family soon! Archie

Archie is the best nanny we have ever worked with. He is professional, responsible, sensitive to a kid's individual needs and our 3 year old just loves him.  Archie is a mature and communicative carer, and not only models that with his interactions with us parents, but also with his daily interactions with our kid.  Days with him are full of play, outdoor adventures, and helping out kid discover and interact with the world.  He centers the child in their days together, does frequent check-ins about their feelings and what is coming next, and remains calm and solution-oriented in tough spots. Archie is also an incredibly helpful person who has done things like empty the dishwasher, put away laundry etc. without being explicitly tasked with them.  We would always be happy to have Archie back in our lives, caring for our children.

Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Riley and I am a 29 y/o female from New Orleans looking to help out some families in the area! I have worked with several families in New York doing school pick-up and after school activities, helping out with dinner and and bedtime. I have experience with 3-12 year olds creating a fun environment and finding interactve activities around the city. Most recently I worked as the Art Head for a children's sleep-away camp for 7-13 year olds in Vermont. Before New York I worked in Madrid Spain where I was a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teacher. I have also worked as a Personal Assistant in New Orleans where I was in charge of house management (grocery shopping, minor housekeeping, house organization, and pet care). I am happy to work with both cats and dogs and would love to help where I am needed!

Our four-year-old felt comfortable with Riley right off the bat, which is not always the case with new caregivers! Riley is kind and trustworthy and we’re excited to work with her again soon.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
