Hi there! My name is Brenna, I am 29 years old and have worked in child care on and off since I was 13. I have recent infant and special needs experience. In the past, I worked for various after school programs, and in school support positions. I have experience with children of all ages and abilities, including kids with sensory issues and behavioral challenges. I specifically thrive working with children on the autism spectrum as well as adhd. On a more personal note: I love arts and crafts and spending time outdoors! Getting to know the kids I work with and helping them explore their interests and hobbies is so important to me. I strongly believe in providing a safe space for children in my care. I do this by bringing a high level of patience and humor to my jobs. I have not encountered a challenging behavior I couldn’t handle or a child I couldn’t make smile. Because of my work in schools and after schools, I have taking many early childhood development and safety trainings, as well as CPR and first aid training which I try and keep up to date. I have a background check and multiple references as I understand the importance of children's safety, I look forward to hearing from you!

Very good with the baby. Patient and calm. Also reads so many books to him

I’m an experienced sitter based in the NYC, known for being calm, dependable, and great with evening and bedtime routines. I’ve worked with children of all ages and am especially comfortable with date nights, after-school care, homework help, and settling kids down for the night. Parents often tell me they appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and low-stress presence. Happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, reading, quiet play, and maintaining routines while you’re out. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have excellent references. Available evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute requests.

Hello Nanny Family, I'd describe my personality as kind, patient, and fun! I have a degree in Mathematics, a minor in Adventure Education, I can swim, drive, and I speak English (only). Happy to do household cleaning and laundry. I like working with kids, I find it very rewarding to help guide them to do something new, such as a hard a math problem, a handstand, or an authentic apology. I'm looking for a stable reoccurring job that feeling right for me, the kids and the family. I started working with kids when I was in high school as a baby sitter. Then I was a camp counselor at a Girl Scout Camp I grew up at and I love so much! Since then I have Nannied for families, and babysat. I have worked with children starting at 6 weeks and up. I have also worked at various gyms with kids. An aerial arts gym leading them through aerial silks and aerial hammock, and an American Ninja Warrior Gym, teaching gymnastics and such. In my spare time, I do various circus arts, partner acrobatics, hiking, swimming in the ocean, rock climbing, aerial silks, handstands, and Slacklining. I also sing and play ukulele, crochet, do crafts, weave baskets, and read. One thing you should know about me is l like to think of myself as a fun, but I also do not condone bratty behavior. I would like to think I am quite the opposite to a pushover in that regard. My skills include my playfulness, tutoring, and timeliness. I am adult and child First Aid, CPR and AED certified. Fully vaccinated. I do not smoke. I am licensed to drive. I'm based out of Park Slope and am open for interviews. Have a lovely day! Liz

Liz was our nanny for daughters aged <18 months and 6 years respectively. She was with us until the younger one started pre-school at 18 months and then continued as a periodic sitter for several months more. Her responsibility was solely childcare (no food prep, driving etc.) and they were either at home or went out to the park or for walks around the neighborhood. She was a wonderful, kind, responsible (punctual to the dot!), and joyful personality whom the girls absolutely adored and viewed more as a playmate and friend. Her acrobatic skills were especially a treat as she got the girls being active and doing tricks, which even to this day remains something they enjoy doing (they are now 5 & 10). She also brought lots of fun costumes to play dress up with and they never failed to have a rousingly entertaining time. I highly recommend Liz and I think she'd be ideal especially for very active and creative kids.

Hi! My name is Jazmin, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Argentina, I graduated as a flight attendant in 2022, so I’m certified for cpr and first aid! I’m a dedicated and passionate childcare provider with extensive experience caring for kids of all ages! I've had the joy of being a nanny for several families, including two beautiful girls (3 & 8 yrs) in Argentina for a year, and locally, two kids (6 & 8 yrs) and two adorable babies (5 mos & 1 yr). I absolutely love being a babysitter and can't wait to care for your little ones! I’m a comfortable driver, I like to teach, play outside, do homework, crafts, etc. I love animals!

"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)."
