Booked by 49 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hi my name is Marina. I was born in Ukraine and speak fluent Ukrainian , Russian as well as English. I decided to become a nanny 10 years ago because it is a very rewarding career that brings joy into my life. I have excellent references that I would like to share on private messages when the time comes.I worked in the Financial District taking care of 2 children but the job came to an end as a family moved to Germany. I worked for a family in New Jersey, as a live-in nanny; with 5 kids in a Brooklyn family as a mother helper; family with 2 boys and a girl, ages 7, 8 and 3 years, with a family in Battery Park city with 2 amazing kids ages 4 and 2. I also have been working in the day care for a year back in Ukraine where I graduated Teacher Training University. I enjoy playing with dinosaurs and cars, as much as dolls and princesses. I enjoy cooking healthy meals, reading and singing to kids, teaching manners and good eating habits, helping with homework and playing sport (especially soccer). I consider myself a great nanny that treats kids as if they were my own. I also have great reference letters that can tell you more about the care I give to kids, my priorities are safety, education and happiness when it comes to my job. P. S. My policies: - 5 hour- minimum of work -50% cancellation policy - ride home after 10pm -50% premium on Weekends - let me know if kids are sick. -50%/hour after 6pm -15$ eaxta for every kid

“Marina is professional, punctual, reliable, and asks all the right questions that show that she is both experienced and very attentive to the needs of the little ones and the parents' preferences. She goes the extra mile, tidying toys and running the dishwasher for baby bottles without being asked. But most of all she is genuinely warm and caring and develops a rapport with the kids so that they are comfortable with her and look forward to her coming. Thanks Marina!”

Hi! I’m Nylaah and I’ve been a professional nanny in NYC for four years now, along with over eight years of babysitting overall! I absolutely love working with children and believe in creating a warm, playful, and creative environment. Whether we’re reading stories, baking treats (a personal favorite), exploring the outdoors, or tackling homework, I strive to make every moment engaging and positive! My experience includes: • Caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children • School drop-offs and pick-ups • Organizing fun and educational activities • Preparing healthy meals and snacks • Running errands and scheduling appointments • Homework help and after-school routines • CPR/First-aid certification I’m currently seeking another full-time position for this school year, and hopefully something long term! I’m also pretty flexible and I’m happy to help out for date nights, weekends, or as an extra pair of hands when you need it most! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re in need of a sitter! I look forward to hearing from you! :) *Four hour minimum. Jobs canceled with less than 24 hours notice are billed for the full scheduled hours

Booked by 15 families in Forest Hills, NY

Hi, I'm Myarra and I've lived my whole life in San Diego but recently just moved back from Santa Barbara! I’ve enjoyed every opportunity I’ve had to look after children and spend time with them! I’ve volunteered as a tutor for grades PreK-12 and took part in many community events like beach cleanups, marathons, etc., as well as worked as a lead counselor and supervisor for camps the past few summers. I worked at a local ice rink in both San Diego and Santa Barbara that is heavily involved with children and helped out with their figure skating academy lessons and hosted children's birthday parties! If you’re interested in my services, please feel free to reach out!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 42 families in Forest Hills, NY

I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter working with children ranging from newborn through elementary age. I also have a background in theater and love bringing that creativity and energy into my work with children. I view my role as a nanny as a teacher and believe children learn best through engagement, play, and exploration. I make it a priority to be fully present with the child rather than distracted by my phone. I enjoy taking children to museums, parks, libraries, and other activities that encourage curiosity and social development. I also have experience working in Early Childhood Education with a teaching style closely aligned with Montessori principles. I believe in positive redirection and creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore independently. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to incorporate Spanish language exposure if interested. Coming from a Latin culture, I enjoy exposing children to different cuisines while always respecting dietary restrictions and family preferences. Depending on the child’s age, I also like involving them in meal prep and hands-on learning experiences. In addition to childcare, I enjoy helping maintain a clean and organized home through tidying, bottle cleaning, and meal prep support. I am currently part of the NYU Teacher Residency program and am seeking part-time work until my program begins in August.

Booked by 45 families in Forest Hills, NY

My name is Justine I have been working with children and family’s for over 10 years. I have experience with children with special needs as well. I am able to complete house chores extra curricular activities. I have worked with multiple families and don’t mind being on call when needed. I also do nanny share depending on what you like. I have in the past done tutoring and homework help. I am very flexible and willing to be of help where I can.

“We were incredibly lucky to have Justine as our night babysitter from the time our son was born. She took care of him 5 and sometimes 6 nights a week for over three months, and her support made an enormous difference for our family during those early weeks. Justine is exceptionally caring, attentive, and trustworthy. She has a real gift with babies and was always generous with helpful tips, reassurance, and practical advice. Her communication was proactive and clear, she kept us informed, anticipated needs, and made sure we always felt confident and at ease. We truly felt that our son was in the best hands, and her calm, professional presence allowed us to rest and recover. We would recommend Justine without hesitation to anyone looking for a night babysitter or newborn care, she is simply wonderful.”

"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)."
