Booked by 8 families in Fresh Meadows, NY

Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

“She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.”

Hello, my name is Amsatou! I’m a cheerful, caring, and reliable babysitter with over 8 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages, including those with special needs. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and very organized. I love keeping kids engaged and active—whether that’s playing outside, doing creative games, reading stories, or helping them explore their imagination. I’m also CPR certified, fluent in English and French (with some Spanish and other dialects), and enjoy introducing little ones to new words and fun learning moments. I’m currently a student at Monroe College majoring in Accounting, and I previously tutored math and economics, so I’m happy to help with homework too! I also love cooking and can prepare healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. Light housekeeping, tidying up, and even pet care are no problem. Most importantly, I take childcare as a big responsibility and pride myself on being present, dependable, and trustworthy. Your children’s safety, happiness, and growth will always be my top priority. I look forward to bringing energy, kindness, and fun to your family!

Booked by 3 families in Fresh Meadows, NY

Hello!! My name is Kelis and I’m an active 19-year-old! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as an after-school counselor, where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now, and it has trained me to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and enjoy seeing children have fun and make new memories. I’m currently in college studying sociology with hopes of becoming a social worker in the child care sector. I’m looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and, of course, have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museums would have to be the Museum of Ice Cream and the American Museum of Natural History. I’m currently saving to one day visit Japan, it’s the #1 thing on my bucket list! Outside of childcare, I’m also a signed model! While modeling has been an exciting experience and creative outlet for me, working with children has always been my true passion and the career path I’m most dedicated to pursuing. I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with families while gaining even more experience doing what I love most!

“Kelis was professional, on time, communicated timely, and was easy to work with. She came prepared to entertain our kids and kept them safe. Our kids had a wonderful time with her!”

"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)."
