A little about me: I’m respectful, responsible, punctual, outgoing, and truly passionate about caring for children. I take my responsibilities seriously, always bring a positive attitude, and do my best to create a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for every child in my care. I’m also a mom to a sweet 1 year old, which has given me even more hands-on experience with routines, meals, naps, playtime, and all the little moments that come with caring for young children. For daytime positions, my son would usually come with me, so I always like to be upfront about that. I’m very comfortable caring for more than one child at a time and balancing different ages and routines. For evening or nighttime babysitting, my baby would not need to come with me, since he sleeps through the night. That gives me more flexibility for date nights, dinners, events, or occasional evening care. I love keeping kids engaged both indoors and outdoors through creative play, reading, crafts, walks, playground time, libraries, and age-appropriate activities. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and interests so I can make our time together fun, meaningful, and special. I’m active, patient, creative, and full of energy… sometimes I think I have even more energy than the little ones! 😊 I’m also happy to help with occasional evenings or weekends if parents would like some time for a date night, errands, or plans with friends. CPR Certified. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and see if we could be a great fit!

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!”

"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)."
