Erin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Erin! I am 28 years old and newly-married and am looking to offer childcare to families right here in Greenpoint, Brooklyn! I’ve called this neighborhood home for the past 6 years, and I absolutely love it. In my previous roles, I have nannied for a total of six years for multiple families (including households with up to three kids and twins!). I’m energetic, super responsible, motivated, and all about creating a warm, positive environment where kids can play, learn, and grow—and parents can relax knowing everything’s handled with care. If you’re in Greenpoint (or nearby) and looking for a nanny, I’d love to chat!

Ilham $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is ilham! I am a certified baby nurse & nanny with over 10 years of experience. I have a passion for early childhood development & childcare excellence. 3 words that describe me professional, dependable and high-energy. I'm CPR & First Aid certified. I am skilled in infant care, with an extensive knowledge of safety precautions, feeding techniques and educational activities to stimulate physical, social and cognitive development. I provide love to children while making sure to meet disciplinary and educational goals for each child. I feel very happy and grateful while working with kids. I enjoy seeing them going through different milestones of early life. The days with kids run fast because our journeys are always filled with a lot of activities such as visiting new playground, museums trips, library classes ,play dates plus taking kids to classes desired by the parents. In addition I always make sure that the child has enough sleep throughout the day so they are reaching the hours of sleep that they need according to his or her age group. I love to cook healthy meals and snacks for the kids. I will make it my duty that your child has a variety of protein, vegetables and fruits. I speak French,Spanish and English. I will be able to teach your child a new language. Thank you for reading my introduction, looking forward to hearing from you

Meaghan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Quinn (Meaghan is my legal name which you have to use to register). I'm a native New Yorker with over 10 years of experience working with children. I live in Brooklyn with my dog, Bagel. I've spent the last 2 years as a substitute teacher at 3 different schools & as an occasional babysitter. Previously, I worked as a Kindergarten teacher at Grace Church before ultimately deciding that, though I love working with kids, I did not want to pursue teaching as a career. I also spent 3 yrs at St. Luke's where I developed and taught my own afterschool classes. In my experience babysitting, I've worked for families with 1-3 kids, ages 1-13. I have extensive experience working with kids with learning disabilities/differences (autism, dyslexia, ADHD) as well as a range of different emotional/behavioral needs. Ideally looking for at least 20hrs/wk. I can guarantee a year's commitment, and likely would be able to stay on longer.

Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hi! I would love to work with you. I am very mindful of safety and I like to think ahead of what could go wrong ( something that I realize a lot of people don't seem to think is important)

Mehak $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mehak and I am about to wrap up my third year in a school-clinical child psychology doctoral program. I have been working with kids and adolescents of various ages over the past 10 years during my undergraduate and graduate careers. I am passionate and hopeful about becoming a child psychologist in the future, specifically implementing types of therapy such as play therapy and creative arts therapy. I think this sets me up for success when it comes to interacting with children because I prioritize a solution-focused and strengths-based approach when navigating issues related to discipline and educating children. Outside of my work in psychology, I love seeing live music, comedy shows, doing karaoke with friends, and exploring restaurants and dessert shops with friends. I also really love going to the beach during the summer and journaling!

"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)."
