Gianna 1 review
New York
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been caring for kids since I was a teenager and have over 5 years of professional experience working with children ages 5–12. I currently work as a paraprofessional, supporting kids of all abilities, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, keeping routines structured, and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m patient, calm, and adaptable, and I really focus on making kids feel understood, supported, and confident. I also have experience helping with homework, daily routines, playtime, and light household tasks. I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in Communications and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I genuinely love working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families :)

I needed help watching my little brothers (5yr and 3yr old) last minute and Gianna saved the day! If you’re looking for someone who is patient and attentive to your kids needs Gianna is the one. My brothers are still asking about her and when she’s coming back! Would and will hire again.

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Far Rockaway, NY

I'm a responsible young college student majoring in nursing with a genuine love for caring for and interacting with children. I do have experience in working in the pediatric unit and assisting patients of young ages 0-21, assisting in the after-school child care program of my elementary school, as well as caring for the young children of friends and family. I am first aid/cpr/AED certified for all ages from infant to adult. I am super creative and like to do activities tailored to each child.I have provided meals and snacks for the children in my care. Overall, I have 4 years of experience in child care and truly enjoy helping the children learn and grow while providing support for the family. When I am not attending classes, I enjoy baking and crafting. I would appreciate the opportunity to foster a creative, learning environment for your little one(s) while providing you with the support needed.

We highly recommend Jenna for any babysitting or nanny position. She watched our 3-year-old twins while we were able to enjoy a relaxing date night, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She made sure they had dinner on time, followed their bedtime routine, and were asleep when we returned. She also took great care of our dog, which was a huge help. Jenna is reliable, patient, and very caring with children, and our twins really enjoyed spending time with her. We would definitely recommend her to other families and would gladly hire her again.

"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
