Nanipo Nueva York
$28 per hour for 1 child

A little about me... Good morning, my legal name is Nanipo, but you can call me Pépé. I'm 38 years old and from Togo. Since I was 15, I've been babysitting children of all ages, as it's a family job, and we always do it with great care. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including children with special needs. I'm currently looking for a full-time job. If you're looking for an energetic, honest, respectful, fun, and caring nanny, and especially flexible, look no further, because I'm everything you need. I'm the most punctual person in the world. I understand that time is money, so I strive to be punctual and prevent parents from being late to work because of me. You can even rest easy because I'll make sure all your baby's needs are met, and my former boss can attest to that. For me, the most important thing about being a nanny is, above all, ensuring the well-being of each child in my care, helping them with their physical and emotional development. Being part of each child's physical and emotional development is essential to me, as is being part of their families, creating unforgettable memories. Welcoming and giving love to these children, who, even when they're older, will always remember me with great affection and care, just as I remember them. I should also mention that I don't have any vices (I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't use drugs). I have a clean and clear criminal record.

Mehak Astoria
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mehak and I am about to wrap up my third year in a school-clinical child psychology doctoral program. I have been working with kids and adolescents of various ages over the past 10 years during my undergraduate and graduate careers. I am passionate and hopeful about becoming a child psychologist in the future, specifically implementing types of therapy such as play therapy and creative arts therapy. I think this sets me up for success when it comes to interacting with children because I prioritize a solution-focused and strengths-based approach when navigating issues related to discipline and educating children. Outside of my work in psychology, I love seeing live music, comedy shows, doing karaoke with friends, and exploring restaurants and dessert shops with friends. I also really love going to the beach during the summer and journaling!

I've been a counselor at Rock Camp's before as well as a music teacher. I've mainly worked with kids ages 5+. I'm an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I grew up with dogs and have taken care of other friends and relatives animals before. My experience with seniors who need additional care is with my own mother who has MS and I grew up with her having disabilities so I'm very knowledgeable with taking care of older seniors.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
