We're so happy that we connected with Dawnn to care for our 16mo old daughter while we were at a wedding. She did a fabulous job with a challenging caregiving situation: it was the first time our daughter had done bedtime without us other than one dinner out when she was 5wks old, she was in an entirely new state, was in a hotel room without a separate bedroom, and our daughter usually contact naps and nurses to sleep at bedtime. We appreciated the cute video of dinnertime, heard great things back from the lobby staff about how much fun it looked like they were having together and came home to a soundly sleeping baby. When our daughter had woken up a little after initially falling asleep and was worried that we weren't there Dawnn did a great job comforting her, figuring out what she thought might help and reaching out to us for a quick call to reassure our daughter that she could go back to bed and we'd be home soon. Thanks Dawnn! You made this evening fun and easy for us :)

I hope all is well with you and your families. Over the years, it has been a great joy to be a source of relief and comfort for dozens of families worldwide, supporting their childcare, household management, and senior care needs. Like many of us, I started nannying during college. My undergraduate degree in Legal Research, combined with my interest in International Business, gave me the opportunity to study in New York, South Korea, Egypt, and Italy. My cultural adaptability, patience, and reliability have allowed families to entrust me with the care of their most precious loved ones. After college, I dedicated my time and expertise to supporting families with long-term needs. I have experience with infants to school-age children, including those with special needs or behavioral challenges. I am familiar with rotational schedules and flying to destinations on a rotation basis. I have accompanied families on holidays and served as a valuable extension of their comprehensive needs, especially for high-net-worth individuals. Regarding my demeanor, I am lighthearted and love to laugh. I remain calm in stressful situations and am well-equipped to handle the unexpected. I love learning and am never too proud to admit when I am wrong. My superpower is learning quickly. Outside of my professional life, I am quite adventurous. I love trying new things, whether it’s a new sport, restaurant, or activity. I enjoy walking long distances, watching and reviewing films, and, of course, my love for travel remains strong.

Kiyonah has been a reliable and good babysitter for our child. She is punctual, follows instructions carefully, and engages the child with patience and creativity. We appreciate her calm and attentive approach, and our child was happy and well-cared-for in her presence. We confidently recommend her to any family.

Hey Parents! My name is Arianny, I am 23 years old, born and raised in Brooklyn with strong Dominican roots. As the oldest of six siblings, caregiving became a natural responsibility early in my life and sparked my passion for working with children. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, leadership, and the importance of creating supportive, joyful spaces for young children to thrive. In my free time, I enjoy baking, a hobby that allows me to be creative and often becomes a fun, hands-on activity to share with kids. I am an accomplished childcare professional with over five years of comprehensive experience supporting the developmental, academic, and social-emotional needs of children ranging from infancy through school age. Currently, I serve as a paraprofessional and hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development — a discipline that underscores my enduring commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and curiosity in young learners. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I bring the added value of bilingual communication, enabling me to facilitate meaningful connections across diverse families and to integrate language enrichment into everyday learning experiences. My approach to childcare is guided by patience, intentionality, and a thorough understanding of developmental milestones. I am adept at cultivating safe, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating environments tailored to each child’s individual temperament and strengths. I am available for full time work, occasional babysitting, overnight assistance, as well as open weekend availability. Above all, I am committed to establishing collaborative, trusting partnerships with families to ensure that every child receives thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, and high-quality care. I welcome the opportunity to connect and to discuss how my expertise can best serve your family’s needs.

Arianny is very kind and sweet, definately recommend her!

* I AM A COMMUTING PRO! I SPENT YEARS LIVING/WORKING IN MANHATTAN AND AM EAGER TO ACCEPT POSITIONS IN MANHATTAN/QUEENS/BROOKLYN AND THE BRONX Hello my name is Tracey, and I would love to learn more about your family! I am a California Certified Teacher (Art and Pre K) and started working as a full-time Nanny 2 years ago. I have worked both full-time and part-time positions for regular reoccurring families with various needs and requirements. I have worked with infants to 8 year olds, with the tiny ones being my favorite. ☺️ In addition to Nannying, I've worked as an English as a second language reading and writing Teacher. I have worked with 2 sets of twins, one set with neurodivergent exceptionalities that I have been with on weekend days for 2 years. My strengths as a Nanny come with 25 years of Teacing experience. I am patient, kind and an excellent communicator. As such, I flourish with a family with these and other positive traits. As an elementary school teacher I was a little surprised to being partial with infants to toddlers, which is now my specialty! I am happy to share with you my extensive resume and excellent references. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you!

"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)."
