Virginia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Virginia, I am a rising sophomore at Villanova University studying psychology on a pre-med track. I am originally from Florida, I graduated from high school in Palm Beach, and I am in Manhattan all summer long. I am available every weekday with lots of flexibility, and would love to be of help by doing child care, pet care, etc. While in high school I babysat very often, I was even apart of a local nannying company. I am great with kids of all age ranges, infants to elementary school age—who might just need someone to hang out while parents are away! I am also an avid cook and baker, so I can provide those services. Additionally I have worked in hotel housekeeping so open to helping with apartment upkeep!

Tywreana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Tywreana (ty-re-ana), a patient and hands-on nanny who specializes in keeping kids calm, engaged, and genuinely happy whether that’s through creative play, routines, or one-on-one attention. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely happy. I’m not just there to supervise, I build real connections with the kids I care for so they feel secure and enjoy their time with me. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience in both daycare and private nannying, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I love doing hands-on activities like painting, baking simple treats, and creating fun sensory play setups for younger kids. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child, and I make it a priority to communicate clearly and create a safe, comfortable environment every day. Parents can expect someone who is: • Dependable and on time • Attentive and patient • Communicative and respectful of your household • Focused on your child’s safety and well-being My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your child feels safe, cared for, and happy.

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

Hi! My name is Aisha, and I’m currently a student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I also work part-time as a paraprofessional at Success Academy Schools, where I support students throughout the academic year. I live in downtown Manhattan near Chelsea piers I’ve been a dedicated nanny for over six years, and I truly love what I do. Working with children brings me so much joy—I’m constantly inspired by their creativity and unique ways of thinking. My experience includes caring for children of various ages, helping them with daily routines, and fostering their growth through fun and educational activities. In addition to childcare, I offer tutoring support, helping children learn their basic words, phonics, and alphabet recognition using effective and engaging learning techniques. My goal is always to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment where children feel confident and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Porsha $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been in child services for a little over 5 years. I’ve been able to work at agencies and in private homes with children as far as infants to grown adults with special needs. I’m in Brooklyn so I’m not far from a few boroughs and I don’t mind traveling and working along with families in need as far as scheduling.

Meaghan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Quinn (Meaghan is my legal name which you have to use to register). I'm a native New Yorker with over 10 years of experience working with children. I live in Brooklyn with my dog, Bagel. I've spent the last 2 years as a substitute teacher at 3 different schools & as an occasional babysitter. Previously, I worked as a Kindergarten teacher at Grace Church before ultimately deciding that, though I love working with kids, I did not want to pursue teaching as a career. I also spent 3 yrs at St. Luke's where I developed and taught my own afterschool classes. In my experience babysitting, I've worked for families with 1-3 kids, ages 1-13. I have extensive experience working with kids with learning disabilities/differences (autism, dyslexia, ADHD) as well as a range of different emotional/behavioral needs. Ideally looking for at least 20hrs/wk. I can guarantee a year's commitment, and likely would be able to stay on longer.

"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)."
