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 Far Rockaway, NY

Hi families! I’m a warm, creative, and attentive caregiver who knows how to keep things fun while also creating a calm, safe, and cozy environment. I have hands-on experience caring for children from newborns through preteens (including my nephew since birth), as well as supporting seniors — I was raised by my great-grandmother and helped care for her into her late 90s, which taught me patience, gentleness, and deep attentiveness. I love bringing imagination into the day through art, reading, music, gentle play, and creative activities. I’m also very clean, organized, and respectful of the home — I enjoy light tidying, keeping spaces comfortable, and preparing simple meals when needed. I also work professionally with pets through dog walking, cat sitting, and house sitting, so your whole household is in good hands. I’m reliable, easy to trust, and I’d love to be a positive, grounding presence for your family — two-legged or four-legged. 🎨🐾

“Sage recently started working with our family. She is so amazing and wonderful, and our family is so lucky to have found her!!!!”

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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
