Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two, I understand firsthand the trust, patience and love it takes to nurture and guide children through every stage of development. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of caring for children of various ages, helping them grow in a safe, engaging and loving environment. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. CPR and First Aid certified which adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing you, the parent to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while helping your children thrive, learn and create joyful memories every day. I look forward to building meaningful connections with families and providing the loving, dependable care every child deserves.

Booked by 24 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! I'm Shterna, and I'm 27 years old. I grew up in central Brooklyn in a big family of 11, with 28 nieces and nephews (ages 0-16) and over 100 first cousins. Being surrounded by kids my whole life, I naturally picked up childcare early on. *I will be graduating with a Bachelor's in Psychology in July of 2027 (My classes are at 7:30 PM twice a week so my school schedule does not impede my daytime/full-time availability)* I started working with kids professionally in middle school as a babysitter and summer camp counselor. After finishing school in 2018, I primarily worked as a nanny (with a brief stint in corporate) and continue to nanny today. I have lots of experience with newborns, multiples, classrooms (of infants, toddlers, and junior high-school) long shifts, overnights and weekends, children who are unwell, working in two-parent households, and transporting kids around the city. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats, hold a driver’s license, and am vaccinated. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader and Boggle player. I love putting on makeup, jump on any opportunity to hear live-music, and enjoy schmoozing with my friends and sisters. As a religious Jew, my weekend availability can be limited, but I’m happy to work around it when possible. I’m semi-fluent in Hebrew (and Yiddish) and enjoy sharing my culture with anyone interested! I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to answer any questions or provide additional information and references.

“Shterna is a confident, dependable caregiver. She has taken the time to understand our infant daughter's personality, moods, developmental stage, and individual needs, adapting her care accordingly. She actively supports our daughter's development through thoughtful interaction and age-appropriate activities. Since she began caring for our daughter, we have noticed her becoming more settled, engaged, and confident. Most importantly, our daughter has developed a strong bond with Shterna and is always happy to see her. We feel confident leaving our daughter in Shterna's care and highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive babysitter.”

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.

"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)."
