Yhanna 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 9 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hi I am a 23 years old with almost 4 years babysitting/nanny experience, full time and part time. I have a lot of experience with newborn to school-age stages. My schedule is very flexible I can do overtimes or stay in if needed, I'm also open to do weekends. I have a little sister who is 7 years old now I was mainly the one who raised her, that's why every now and then I have personal experience. Hoping that we can do set up an interview. Thank you!

I highly recommend Yhanna as a caregiver. She is extremely professional, prompt and communicative. My 9 year old loved hanging out with her and I'll definitely be using her again. Yhanna is engaging, fun and I had an overall great experience with her. She is also very quick to respond to messages, which is something that I very much appreciated. Thank you Yhanna!

Kaele $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaele and I am 26 years old. I have my bachelors in Psychology and am planning on becoming a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I have always been good with kids and I proved that when I decided to babysit. Eventually I started working at an elementary school and worked as an aide for special needs kids. I worked with 3-6 year olds for 2 years and am looking to continue working with kids in general. I am reliable, friendly and most importantly respectful. Kids love to spend time with me because of my calm nature and I find ways to keep them happy, safe and entertained. I have experience with many different age groups due to finding babysitting jobs as part times after high school! I enjoyed every second. My duties included driving/picking up from school, take kids to activities, play, make sure they eat and do their homework. I also have helped out with homework and light housekeeping.

Hi! I'm Christel. I'm a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Over the past few years, I've gained hands-on experience helping care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children ranging from 7 months to 10 years old. From keeping little ones entertained with games and activities to preparing meals, helping with daily routines, and caring for them independently when needed, I always strive to create a safe and fun environment. I'm dependable, attentive, and love building positive relationships with both children and their families.

Erin $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hi! I'm a Brooklyn-based university student pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have over five years of childcare experience, including four years working in preschool and daycare settings, and I am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in a safe and nurturing environment. Most recently, I worked as a Lead Twos Teacher at Lightbridge Academy, where I was responsible for creating engaging learning experiences, supporting children's development, and maintaining a positive classroom environment. I also recently had the opportunity to be apart of an internship at Spruce Street School in New York City's Financial District, where I worked with elementary-aged students and supported classroom learning and activities. Prior to moving to New York, I worked for three years as an assistant teacher across multiple schools, gaining experience with children of different ages, backgrounds, and learning needs. I enjoy creating engaging activities, encouraging learning through play, building positive relationships with families, and making every day fun and meaningful for the children in my care. My experiences, combined with my studies in Early Childhood Education, have strengthened my passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and thrive.

Yanique $25 per hour for 1 child

I have 10 years of experience supporting families across New York as a nanny, personal assistant and house manager. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth and creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where they can thrive. I’m experienced in building consistent routines, preparing healthy meals, organizing creative activities and supporting children with schoolwork and daily development. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable managing the day-to-day needs of a busy household whether that’s coordinating schedules, running errands or keeping things organized to help life run smoothly. Outside of childcare, I work as a photographer. I’m looking for a consistent position that fits well with my schedule. I currently work with one other family part-time and my availability remains flexible.

"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)."
