Hello! My name is Jetta 👋🏼 I live on the Upper West Side and am originally from Arizona. I am a nanny, care-provider, and became CPR and First Aid certified in 2012. I have a background in comedy and music, so I love to entertain and encourage lots of creativity. I am also very active so would love to help establish healthy habits! I come from a family of 5 sisters, and pride myself in my kindness and patience. Please feel free to ask me any questions. Thank you!

Byann $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m an active New Yorker based in the Chelsea area, a current college student pursuing my bachelors in Digital Communications, and a corporate Executive Assistant in the beauty industry where I support a SVP and 2 VP’s. I’ve been caring for children from 10 months to 16 years old for over 10 years, and it’s something I truly love and take pride in. I always aim to support each family’s unique approach to childcare. If parents prefer minimal screen time, I’m happy to encourage that through engaging play, meaningful conversation, and creative activities. I’m energetic, enthusiastic, and never afraid to get down on the floor to join in their little world, making playtime both fun and enriching, ensuring your child has a caregiver who can match their excitement and curiosity. Most importantly, I believe in mirroring the way parents connect with their children, so that care feels consistent, comfortable, and aligned with your values. Outside of work, I’m an avid moviegoer (a proud AMC A-List member!), and I also enjoy crocheting and painting which are hobbies I love to incorporate into play and activities with kids whenever possible. Have pets? 🐾 no problem! I love animals and have my own fur baby that is my entire world. Parents, If you are considering me to watch your little ones, I’d be more than happy to hop on a call via zoom and/or via cell if needed.

I love children and I am a mother to a lovely baby boy. I bring tonnes of empathy, love into my job and engage with kids by encouraging their development. I also hold a Master's degree and can help with tutoring. Since I am a mother myself, I am looking for a job where I can bring my baby and watch kids.

Anyla $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anyla, a recent college graduate living in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I graduated with a pre-health background and am a responsible, energetic, and caring person who genuinely enjoys working with children and helping families feel supported. I also have experience working with children as a counselor through a New York Times program, where I was responsible for engaging with and supporting children in a structured environment. I’m dependable, organized, patient, and comfortable balancing playtime, learning activities, meals, routines, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, reading, and exploring creative activities, and I’d be happy to incorporate those interests into my time with your children. I also have extensive personal travel experience and previously lived abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Living internationally helped me become highly independent, adaptable, and comfortable navigating new places and environments. I would be comfortable accompanying a family while traveling and helping maintain a child’s routine while away from home.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
