Yasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Yasha! I’m a full-time nanny with 5+ years of experience supporting children from infancy through early adolescence—including two years with Jumpstart’s early literacy program and three years as a private nanny to high-profile families in NYC. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I specialize in providing calm, emotionally attuned care for children navigating transition—whether that’s a new sibling, a big move, or loss in the family. My background also includes: School pickups, after-school routines, Bedtime transitions, travel prep, homework help, creative play, and extra-curricular support. I’m also a graduate of NYU with a professional background in film, theatre, and fine art. I love sharing my creative passions with the families I work with—don’t be surprised if your little ones start directing, writing, or starring in their own kitchen musicals. I bring warmth, consistency, and clear communication to every household I join. Currently available for full-time or high-retainer roles in the NYC area. Let’s connect and see if it’s a good fit!

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Maria. I am a mom to a 32-year old adult with autism. As a special ed teacher, I have worked with many children with special needs helping them with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc) behavioral and communication adaptations. I can take children to school or other appointments, as well as assist them with homework. I live on the Upper East side and am available to work twice a week. I am allergic to animals so I cannot work in households with pets. I do not speak Spanish. I consider myself to be an organized, compassionate, patient and trustworthy person. I prefer to work with seniors or no more than two kids aged 2 and above.

Hello! My name is Matigan and I have been living in the Gramercy Park area for the past 2 years. I graduated from Boston College in 2022 and currently work in biotech. I began babysitting for families back home in Charlotte, NC in 2013 and continued through high school and during breaks in college. While at college, I also babysat for families in the Boston area. For 3 summers, I worked as head coach of my neighborhood swim team, where I coached 120 swimmers ages 4-18. During this time, I provided private swim lessons to swimmers of all ages. I also provided babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting for many of the swim team families. I enjoyed my jobs so much and I am hoping to help out families in the city now that I am more settled! Additionally, I’m First Aid/CPR/AED certified by the Red Cross and I have a year of medical experience as a nursing assistant at one of Charlotte’s main hospitals.

"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)."
