Imene $28 per hour for 1 child

I truly enjoy providing care for people and making others feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I have over 15 years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and over 5 years of experience as a nanny. Caring for others has always come naturally to me, whether I am helping children with their daily routines, creating fun activities, preparing meals, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and patient presence. I am nurturing, dependable, organized, and attentive to each family’s needs. My healthcare background has also taught me how to stay calm, responsible, and focused on safety. I speak English, Haitian Creole, and understand basic French.

Leah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leah, and I am 18 years old. I have been working since I was 14, graduated high school early at 17, and went directly into trade school, where I am currently working toward becoming a licensed esthetician and skin therapist. Most recently, I worked as a Teen Reading Ambassador with the New York Public Library, helping children with reading, writing, math homework, games, arts and crafts, and other activities. I have also worked with children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and different learning styles. One of my strongest qualities is my patience. I do not become easily frustrated, and I understand that children sometimes need extra time, a different explanation, or simply someone who will listen to them. I enjoy making kids feel comfortable, taking their ideas seriously, and keeping them safe while making sure they are having a good time. I am happy to follow any routines, household rules, meal instructions, or schedules a parent provides. I also have younger siblings and have helped my hardworking mom at home when I was younger, so I understand how much of a difference it makes to have someone who can help with meals, homework, cleaning, and keeping things organized. I know how to cook a variety of meals, and I am very comfortable cleaning, doing laundry, tidying up, and organizing spaces. Cleaning is something I have always been good at, and I take pride in doing it thoroughly. I am also interested in senior care because I enjoy talking, listening to people’s stories, and helping others feel comfortable and less alone. I would be patient and respectful while providing companionship, preparing meals, helping around the home, and following any routines or instructions the family has. I am naturally friendly, talkative, energetic, and caring, but I also know when to be calm and focused. A fun fact about me is that I started and captained my high school cheer team. Whether I am helping with childcare, senior companionship, or household tasks, my goal is to be someone a family can depend on and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.

Vita $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Jackson Heights, NY

I’ve been babysitting for the past 12 years and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I worked as a certified lifeguard for 2 years and also gained early childhood experience working at a daycare during high school. Throughout high school and college, I was a full-time nanny for 7 years, building long-term relationships with families and helping support child development through play, routine, and educational activities. Since moving to New York City in 2021, I’ve continued babysitting and am now looking for more part-time opportunities. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids. I bring a calm, confident energy and always prioritize safety and fun.

Alicia $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi, I worked as a part time nanny for occasional weekends or some nights for a family of 5 with three kids ages currently 2,5,9. We have become like family but with the dad having a family member in the home I was no longer needed for the occasional help. I am an accountant for my full time role but for private industry so no crazy hours on my end. I have assisted with homework, class projects and just general educational needs with both the 5 year old and 9 year old. But that’s not all we’ve done, we also enjoy doing arts and crafts and now I can proudly say I can name multiple K-pop groups.

"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."

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)."
