Hi! My name is Jazmin, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Argentina, I graduated as a flight attendant in 2022, so I’m certified for cpr and first aid! I’m a dedicated and passionate childcare provider with extensive experience caring for kids of all ages! I've had the joy of being a nanny for several families, including two beautiful girls (3 & 8 yrs) in Argentina for a year, and locally, two kids (6 & 8 yrs) and two adorable babies (5 mos & 1 yr). I absolutely love being a babysitter and can't wait to care for your little ones! I’m a comfortable driver, I like to teach, play outside, do homework, crafts, etc. I love animals!

Hi, I’m Alisha! I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced professional nanny with 8 years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age throughout the NYC and Tri-State area. Over the years, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including siblings and multiple children at different developmental stages. I genuinely enjoy being hands-on and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. My experience includes newborn and infant care, bottle feeding, introducing solids, nap and sleep routines, developmental play, sensory activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, school and activity transportation, and creating age-appropriate daily routines. I’m also comfortable helping with children’s laundry, meal preparation, tidying, errands, and other tasks that help keep a household running smoothly. I have completed Early Childhood Education coursework through my Child Development Associate (CDA) journey, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and developmental milestones. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. As a nanny, I’m patient, communicative, proactive, and adaptable. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, understood, and given opportunities to explore their interests. I also value open communication with parents and believe the best nanny-family relationships are built on trust, respect, consistency, and teamwork. I’m comfortable working independently or alongside work-from-home parents and enjoy becoming a trusted and valued part of the families I work with. Whether we’re having a quiet day at home, exploring the neighborhood, visiting the park or library, or trying a new activity, my goal is always to make the day meaningful, fun, and age-appropriate. I’d love the opportunity to connect with a family who is looking for a caring, experienced nanny who will genuinely invest in their children and become a dependable part of their support system.

"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)."
