Lulu $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lulu, and I’m a Montessori-trained early childhood educator with a deep love for nurturing curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young children. I recently spent several years in London working in both hospitality and family environments before moving to New York, and I bring a warm, calm, and thoughtful approach to caregiving. Most recently I worked as a Lead Guide in a Montessori Young Toddler classroom, supporting children 15-24 months through independence-building activities, emotional development, and hands-on learning. I love creating environments where children feel safe to explore the world around them while developing their own sense of capability. Alongside childcare, I’m also a trained yoga and meditation practitioner, and I enjoy bringing elements of mindfulness, movement, and calm into the day—whether that’s through breathing exercises, stretching, or simply creating peaceful moments in a busy toddler schedule. Creativity is a big part of my life as well. I work in floristry and love incorporating nature into activities with children—flower arranging, nature walks, seasonal crafts, and sensory play inspired by the outdoors. I believe children thrive when they can engage with beauty, texture, and the natural world. I also volunteered with 240 Wellbeing, supporting community mental health initiatives, which has deepened my understanding of emotional care, empathy, and supporting both children and families through life’s ups and downs. Families often describe me as calm, attentive, and deeply engaged with children. I value building trusting relationships with both parents and little ones, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where children feel seen, respected, and joyful. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family!

Having Dani watch Lilah was an absolute joy. My daughter adored her. I'm a single mom with a 10 year old who has to hustle in LA so I really needed an attentive and loving sitter and Dani answered that call. Was great at communication, very warm, patient, and attentive to my little girl. There was even an occasion that a shoot ran late and I had to have Dani stay after hours and she was so understanding and accommodating. A literal lifesaver. I can tell she loves what she does. I really think Lilah built such an attachment to her!

Mara $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Mara. I am a mother of four boys, ages 33, 27, 25, and 16, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I truly enjoy being around children and helping them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I have many years of experience caring for children. From 2006 to 2016, I cared for a little girl in Freeport, Maine, from the time she was a baby until she turned 10. During the COVID-19 period, I helped a family in New York with their two children. Most recently, I worked with a family in Long Island City from 2022 until July 2026, when they relocated. I am a caring, patient, dependable, and trustworthy person. I treat the children I care for with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own children. I enjoy becoming part of a family and being someone parents can feel comfortable and confident relying on.

"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)."
