Hi! I’m Roxy. I started babysitting almost 15 years ago and have since worked as a nanny/babysitter and in education, from classrooms and private tutoring to developing an SEL curriculum for elementary school-aged girls. In this time, I’ve worked with children of all ages and have really enjoyed getting to know the different milestones, interests, and needs that come with each age. I really enjoy getting to know each child and finding ways to keep them engaged while supporting their development. Depending on age, some of my favorite ways to spend time with kids are getting outside, reading together, doing art projects, baking, and finding activities that match their interests. With babies and young toddlers, I especially enjoy paying attention to what they’re learning at each stage and finding fun, age-appropriate ways to support their development, encourage their growing independence and communication skills, and keep them interested and learning as they grow. I believe in helping children develop curiosity, compassion, independence, and social awareness from a young age by giving them space to express themselves and explore the world around them, while also helping them learn to understand and regulate big feelings and navigate relationships with others. I have a bachelor’s degree and speak some Spanish and a little Arabic. I’m also infant and pediatric CPR/first aid certified, comfortable with pets, and have a clean driving record. I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve previously worked for. I’m ideally looking for full-time or near-full-time work with a baby or toddler who isn’t in school yet, but I’m also open to part-time care, nanny shares, and one-time babysitting when my schedule allows. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I like participating in outdoor activities and taking long walks at the park. I love the site of a child smiling. I have experience with children from the age of 3 weeks and above. I'm able to multitask and have no problem feeding, bathing, changing, and going to doctor's appointments. In addition to that I'm able to deal with fevers and caring for an ill child. My experience with children at a very young age. I've worked in a day care and have been able to gain so much patience and understanding of a child's needs and dealing with a noisy environment and the ability to settle things ****policies***** Any cancellations less then 48 hours will be charged a 75% off of the hours booked, including if the job has already started I book my schedule 2-3 weeks in advance And I expect to be paid for the entire booking

“Excellent service ”

Hi! I’m Schnell, a professional full-time nanny with extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, including twins. I specialize in creating a structured, nurturing, and engaging environment while providing attentive, hands-on care. I love keeping children active and engaged throughout the day. I plan age-appropriate activities and outings such as trips to the park, playgrounds, museums, indoor play spaces, classes, and other child-friendly activities. At home, I enjoy reading books, doing arts and crafts, sensory play, music, and activities that encourage learning and development. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding and nap schedules, preparing meals and snacks, diaper changes, potty training, school drop-offs and pick-ups, getting children ready for activities, and helping them develop independence as they grow. I also handle children’s laundry, organize their toys and belongings, clean up after meals and activities, and help keep their spaces organized. I’m highly reliable, patient, organized, and comfortable caring for multiple children while balancing different schedules and needs. My goal is for children to feel safe, happy, engaged, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m currently seeking families who value attentive, high-quality care and a dependable caregiver. I’m also available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting.

Booked by 14 families in Jackson Heights, NY

I am a 37 year old Brooklyn native, who obtained my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have an Associates Degree from Kingsborough Community College also in Early Childhood Education. I’ve taught 3rd grade and worked with children in daycare as well as preschool settings. I am the eldest of five children. My sibling's age range from 15, 19, 20, 26. I have experience with special needs children for my sister, age 19, has mild cerebral palsy. My family owns a daycare which is where I have gained most of my experience. My experience with after school aged children involved providing help with homework and snack preparation. My speciality is working with children who have lots of energy. I enjoy being involved in activities such as: story time, arts and crafts, cooking activities, and play time which fosters one on one communication and developmental growth. I am a very organized, punctual, positive, and hard working individual. Working with children is my passion!

“Odessa is extremely warm and patient. My three year old loved her and instantly had a connection with her. Our 10-month old also bonded with her from the first day. She was very communicative and the kids had a great time with her. My business trip to NYC with the kids is going very smoothly because of her. I would highly highly recommend hiring her to take care of your kids!”

"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)."
