Hi my name is Maritza. I have 35+ yrs of experience and im also a mother of two beautiful adult kids, I recently became a grandma started caring for my grandson, at 4mth until he turned 15 mth. I miss him already he's my joy in life. I enjoy spending time with children, watching movies, coloring books, reading a story, dancing and singing. Listening and talking when they have a lot of questions and complaints as well. Playing games keeping them happy, safe and entertained. Im caring, considerate, kind trustworthy, reliable, attentive, responsible, most important is that they feel safe and comfortable being around me. Safety first. I've been babysitting since a young teen as i became a mother myself. At 13 my sister was born which i participated alot in helping care for her as well. I use to be a school crossing guard for 15yrs last year worked 2017. Im currently on another site helping other families when in need. I understand when you need some me time and need someone to help just for a few hrs and have no one to rely on. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I also have references. Look forward to meeting and working to assist in any care needs for you and your child. Hope you consider me for the job. Also if in need of back-up/last minute sitter. Thank you kindly.

Hello, my name is Daisy. I live in Bushwick Brooklyn. I have experience working with children in a daycare. I have an associate degree in bilingual education and am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree. I love working with kids because I find them inspiring and fun; I am patient, caring, and enjoy making arts and crafts, as well as exploring new places outdoors. Languages are a big part of my life—I speak Spanish and English, and I am currently learning Italian. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to work during the day or at night, depending on your needs. I am a responsible driver with a valid license and know the city well. Last year, I went on a road trip from New York to California, which helped me become familiar with many places and develop strong driving skills. I would be very excited to have the opportunity to work with you. I am dedicated and eager to help in any way, also I can provide support in cleaning too. Thank you so much for considering my application.

“Daisy is excellent, and our son Nico was very comfortable.”

Booked by 3 families in Far Rockaway, NY

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.

Booked by 1 family in Far Rockaway, NY

My name is Sanai, and I’m 20 years old. I have over five years of experience babysitting children from ages 0 to 15. I started babysitting at a young age with my family and have also helped at my church by babysitting and teaching classes. A fun fact about me is that I’m CPR certified. I enjoy engaging children in creative activities such as arts and crafts, assisting with homework, preparing meals, and organizing outdoor games. I’m available to babysit from Sunday to Friday, but on Saturdays, I attend church from morning until evening. I am dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children.

“Sanai is very kind and timely. She is genuine and professional. I recommend 10/10. ”

"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)."
