Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! My name is Makela, I attend college at LaGuardia Community College, where I’m studying to become a NICU nurse because I’ve always dreamed of caring for little ones. I’ve been looking after kids for about five years now, I have experience working with children aged 0-12 but mostly new borns/toddlers and children up to age of 9. The first job I had was at 14 caring for my little cousin who was a new born at the time and it’s something I’ve loved since the very beginning. I enjoy cooking, dancing, and making everyday moments fun while also being responsible and reliable. I also speak Spanish which is something I’m open to teaching. Most of all, I want to create a safe, happy space for kids and be someone they can look up to. I’d love the chance to bring my energy and care into your family!

Amazing young,responsible and kind lady. Thank you for being here for us!

Booked by 2 families in Jackson Heights, NY

I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over five years of experience caring for children from newborns through age 17. I am currently pursuing a degree in Biology with long-term goals of becoming a pediatric surgeon, and my passion for supporting children’s health, growth, and development is reflected in the care I provide every day. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported as they learn and grow. I love incorporating activities such as reading, outdoor play, nature exploration, and creative experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence, and active learning. My experience working with a wide range of age groups has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personality. I am known for being reliable, attentive, and nurturing, and I take great pride in helping children thrive while giving families peace of mind. 🌱

Petra helped take care of my baby boy when he’s 5-6w old and we needed our own time. She’s quiet and very sweet, always on time, and very good with childcare. Our care with her runs from 3hr coverage to the a full day (~9hrs), she handles everything just fine.

Booked by 2 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hello!! My name is Kelis and I’m an active 19-year-old! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as an after-school counselor, where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now, and it has trained me to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and enjoy seeing children have fun and make new memories. I’m currently in college studying sociology with hopes of becoming a social worker in the child care sector. I’m looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and, of course, have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museums would have to be the Museum of Ice Cream and the American Museum of Natural History. I’m currently saving to one day visit Japan, it’s the #1 thing on my bucket list! Outside of childcare, I’m also a signed model! While modeling has been an exciting experience and creative outlet for me, working with children has always been my true passion and the career path I’m most dedicated to pursuing. I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with families while gaining even more experience doing what I love most!

Kids love her!

"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)."
