Nathaly 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Nathaly! I’m a proud mom of two and bring years of hands-on parenting experience to the families I work with. Having homeschooled my children, I’m not only comfortable keeping kids engaged but also love to make learning fun through reading, crafts, and interactive play. 🍎 What I Offer • Nurturing, patient care with a mother’s touch • Healthy meal prep (I love to cook!) • Light housekeeping, laundry, and organizational help • A structured but warm approach that makes children feel safe and cared for. Other parents often tell me that they feel at ease knowing I’ve been in their shoes. I understand what it means to balance busy schedules, trust someone with your little ones, and want peace of mind at home. I take pride in being dependable, calm under pressure, and someone your kids will genuinely enjoy spending time with.

Great last-minute babysitter while I was visiting town! I have two kids and they absolutely loved having her around they even asked if they could see her again. Super grateful for her help!

Imani $18 per hour for 1 child

A Bit About Me – My Journey in Childcare Back in 2017, I found myself stepping into the world of childcare, mostly curious (and a little excited) about the fun, messy, and unpredictable world of daycare. What started as just a job quickly turned into something more—I realized how much I genuinely enjoy being around kids and helping them grow. That spark led me to enroll at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn to study childhood education more seriously. For about 3.5 years, I wore a lot of different hats in daycares—everything from assistant teacher to lead teacher—working with little ones as young as 6 months all the way up to 5 years old. After that, I shifted gears a bit and spent a year in afterschool programs with the older kids (ages 5 to 13) as a group leader. I’ve also been a helping hand for a few families on the side, stepping in whenever they’ve needed extra support. What I love most are the everyday moments with the kids—the silly laughs, the unexpected questions, the small wins that mean everything. No two days are ever the same, and that’s what keeps it exciting. For me, it’s all about being part of a child’s journey, watching them grow, and knowing I played even a small part in it.

Hi! My name is Clara, and I’m 22 years old. I recently graduated from the University of Texas with a Journalism degree, and am relocating to NYC in September. I have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including three years as a nanny for a family with three children and long-term occasional care for another child from age 1 to 9. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. I’m excited to connect with a wonderful family and can provide excellent references upon request!

"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)."
