Bella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Bella. I've spent close to a decade with private families — first in Southern California where I grew up, and now in New York. I'm calm under pressure, comfortable with infants through tweens (including kids with special needs and twins), and I think the best nannies are the ones whose presence makes the apartment feel a degree quieter, not louder. I'm pursuing a master's in Computer Science at Pace University, live in Tribeca, and can be at most downtown apartments in fifteen minutes. References available from every family I've worked with. Always happy to start with a paid trial day. Rates run $30–$40/hr depending on the day and number of kids.

Hi my name is Jayleen! I am offering child care services at this time.

I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am dependable, attentive, and understanding of each child’s individual needs.

"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."

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)."
