Sophia New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophia :) I am originally from Orange County, CA and graduated in 2022 from UCLA. I recently moved to NYC and work in finance. I work 11-7 (since my team is on the west coast) so am available for childcare any day in the mornings or evenings! I have a huge family with lots of baby cousins and have been babysitting and tutoring since I was in high school. I am extremely organized and clean and will love any activities your child wants to participate in.

Manuela Nueva York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Manu, with the 6 years of experience caring for children from 0 to 13 years old. My top priority is to create a safe, loving, and respectful environment where every child feels free to express themselves and grow at their own pace. I'm also trained in first aid, so I can handle any emergency with confidence. I'm a patient, organized, and disciplined person, but always with a warm and caring approach. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, whether it's playing, learning through fun activities, or simply being there to support them. I believe in giving children the space to make their own choices, and I'm always there to back them up along the way. Building trust is essential to me, and I strive to create a positive, supportive relationship with each child I care for. If you're looking for someone who's responsible, caring, and dedicated to helping your kids every step of the way, I'd love to be part of your family's routine and support you however I can.

Maria New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Maria. I am a mom to a 32-year old adult with autism. As a special ed teacher, I have worked with many children with special needs helping them with activities of daily living (feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc) behavioral and communication adaptations. I can take children to school or other appointments, as well as assist them with homework. I live on the Upper East side and am available to work twice a week. I am allergic to animals so I cannot work in households with pets. I do not speak Spanish. I consider myself to be an organized, compassionate, patient and trustworthy person. I prefer to work with seniors or no more than two kids aged 2 and above.

Victoria New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria and I am a born and raised New Yorker from the Upper East Side. What I think is most unique about my experience with childcare in the city is that I was also raised in the city so I know what the experience and context of everything is like. I have been a nanny for 3 1/2 years and it is my passion to work with children. I have worked consistently with 5 families on the UES (my own business)that are willing to give exceptional references on my behalf. I also have worked with two families in the Hamptons The families I work for have children aged from 7 months- 8 years of age. Because I plan on becoming a behavioral therapist for autistic children, I incorporate a variety of activities fun and educational into my nannying. I am not only caring and creating a safe environment for your children, but teaching them important skills to learn and grow. I am very organized and will always have activities for your children!I am very energetic and attentive and have a very close relationship with all the families I work with. If you are looking for someone who plays attentively, encourages learning growth skills, puts children’s safety first, adapts to family dynamic quickly and is more than familiar with the neighborhood I am the person for you :) I am very flexible right now I just returned from the Hamptons and am looking for a consistent part-time or full-time job.

I am an energetic sitter with a passion for caring for kids. I am a recent college graduate with 3 years of Full-Time Nannying experience and have been babysitting since I was 15. I have experience with children ages 4 months-12 years and I love each stage for different reasons! I just moved to NYC and my full time job in Real Estate Finance doesn’t start until April, so I’m looking for something consistent in the meantime!

"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
