Booked by 4 families in Inwood, NY

Hi! I’m Josee—a caring, dependable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children from newborns to school-age, including those with special needs. I’ve worked as a daycare assistant, preschool assistant, tutor, camp counselor, and elementary special education teacher, so I’m comfortable balancing both fun and structure. I’m especially confident with infant care, routines (feeding, naps, bedtime), and creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I communicate clearly so parents always feel at ease. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like meal prep, tidying, and errands to support your family’s routine. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

I genuinely have a passion for helping others, particularly when it comes to cleaning, organizing, running errands, and maintaining a well-functioning household. I believe in giving my utmost effort and treating each task as if it were being done for my own home or family. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for children and providing household services. These experiences have instilled in me patience, responsibility, and a strong sense of reliability. Families consistently describe me as caring, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. I take great pride in providing not only high-quality care but also peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones and your home are in good hands.

So professional.

Lola $25 per hour for 1 child

I was a nanny for the Merizalde family for many years, from 2007 to 2012. I cared for thirteen nieces and nephews who are now professionals, and I also cared for my two daughters, Priscilla and Yuriana. Priscilla has a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and Yuriana is a junior at Kean University. We have two pets: Sparky is the dog, and Mama is the cat. I earned my Associate of Occupational Science and Culinary Arts Certificate in 2001. I am patient, loving, responsible, reliable, and cheerful, with excellent childcare and interpersonal skills and extensive experience caring for children and seniors. I care for children as if they were my own. I like them to feel comfortable around me. I read books, play with them, take them to the park, do activities, and always follow their parents' instructions. From 2014 to 2019, I worked as an Executive Chef in nursing homes. Working with seniors, I learned to understand them better and recognize their needs. I would like to discuss your specific childcare needs. I am bilingual and I am willing to teach Spanish to children if you wish. I have clean driver record. I am able to cook meals, do simply cleaning, do laundry and errands.

Assana 2 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child

My name is Assana, and I am a dedicated and reliable nanny with several years of hands on experience caring for children. I have worked with multiple families, providing attentive childcare and supporting children with their daily routines, meals, homework, and engaging activities. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, I have assisted families with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry to help keep the home organized and running smoothly. I have also traveled with a family as a travel nanny when needed, which has strengthened my flexibility, adaptability, and commitment to meeting each family’s unique needs. I am patient, trustworthy, and passionate about helping children grow and thrive.

I had the pleasure of having Assana as a nanny for my two children, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and dedicated to the families she works with. From the very beginning, she created a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for my children, and they absolutely adored her. Assana went above and beyond her role every day. She not only provided excellent childcare, but also helped with laundry, kept the house clean and organized, and made our home run smoothly. One of the things I appreciated most was her ability to incorporate learning into daily routines she even taught my children French, which was such a valuable and unique experience for them. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking nanny.

"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)."
