Brooke

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi parents! My name is Brooke and I currently work in a daycare, specializing in infant and early-toddler care. I have hands-on experience caring for babies in a structured, professional childcare environment — including feeding, diapering, bottle prep, safe sleep, tummy time, developmental play, and creating a calm, nurturing routine. I’m trained to follow proper childcare standards, safety guidelines, and communication practices. I’ve worked with infants ranging from newborns to 18 months and I’m very confident with soothing techniques, sensory activities, and understanding developmental milestones.

“Brooke was lovely to coordinate with for a last minute sit. She arrived on time, and immediately jumped into playing with my son. I lingered (first time with an evening sitter), she dis not mind. I left, she handled bedtime, when my son awoke he was devastated to find me home instead of his “new friend Brooke”. In literal tears. I was not offended, only pleased that her short first time playdate had left such a lasting impression. Would recommend in a heartbeat! ”

Booked by 4 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi my name is Lorenza! I’m a recent college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and marketing communications and a minor in design, and I’ve spent over four years working as a professional nanny through an agency. I’ve cared for children from three weeks old up to fifteen years old, and I love being part of their everyday lives — watching them grow, learn new skills, and reach milestones is incredibly rewarding. I take a hands on, creative approach to nannying, making sure to include activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and active games, while always following the family’s priorities! I really enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with the children I care for and their families, and I find that patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude make every day both fun and meaningful. I am CPR certified for infants and adults and prioritize safety while keeping children active, curious, and supported. I recently moved to NYC and am excited to connect with families looking for a responsible, energetic caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with kids!

“We had a wonderful experience with Lorenza. She was incredibly professional and so sweet with our 10-month-old daughter. We felt completely at ease, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

My name Is Alissah . I am a nursing student, currently finishing my BSN. I speak English and French. Some major personality traits that I have are that I am a good listener, I love to make people laugh, I love hosting play dates and expanding my creativity through arts and crafts. I love to sing, paint and read. As a nursing student I have gained some skills such as organization, observation, communication. One of the great trait that I have is patience as I have gotten to deal with kids of all ages in the hospital and tend to their needs. I would love to continue being a caregiver to kids because I can bring those skills and personality traits to light by helping them expand their creativity, provide them with an energetic and fun environment, and tends to their needs. I place a high value on relationships, whether they be with my family, friends, or coworkers. The most satisfying aspect of my work is knowing that I've had a beneficial influence in addition to developing a relationship with the children.

“I will be hiring Alissah again and again! She did so well with my 17-month old son and she was so very worth it. She has a great energy about her from the moment she came in! ”

Booked by 16 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi, I'm Mary! I've always loved kids, and find that nothing brings me as much joy as working with them. I have over 13 years of babysitting experience, and over 7 years experience as a nanny/after school sitter. I've worked with almost every age, ranging from 4 months to young teens. I have a degree in Acting/Musical theatre from Carnegie Mellon, and find that my experience "playing pretend" has lent itself quite well to working with children, as they have the best imaginations of us all. I'm vaxxed/boosted, and also love all animals.

"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)."
