$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I would first like to thank you for acknowledging my profile as well as taking time out your day to give me a chance for this opportunity. If you are looking for a reliable, hardworking and experienced nanny you have stopped at the right person. I am very intelligent, sweet, caring and enjoy playing the violin most of the day. Not only do I have years of experience, I have the strength and patience to keep up with more than three children. Most of the families I worked with usually consist of two or more. Once you have mastered different strategies on how to care for a child, it becomes very easy to meet their needs without them having to tell you. You began to know exactly when to feed, change and even how to console them when sick. Just like us adults, children have feelings and may wake up having a bad day so I believe it is very important to be supportive, listen and learn to be that shoulder to lean on without yelling or getting frustrating at them. I absolutely love working with all my families. Me being compassionate for others helps me to bond with not only the children but the families as well. I have tag teamed with grandparents, play dates with other parents as well as family friends. This job has been an amazing experience still after so many years.

Emily Franklin Square
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Emily! I’m an experienced and caring babysitter with over 10 years of nannying and babysitting experience with children of all ages. I grew up in Brooklyn and now live on Long Island, and I’m currently looking to connect with local families in need of a reliable and engaging sitter. I’m passionate about spending time outdoors—especially road trips and hiking—and I love encouraging kids to explore and enjoy nature too. I also love to cook (Italian food is my specialty!), read, and plan creative activities to keep children entertained and learning. In addition to childcare, I’m a huge animal lover and currently building my own dog boarding and grooming business. Babysitting is helping me save up to pursue that dream, and I bring that same level of care and dedication to the families I work with. If your child is musically inclined, that’s a fun bonus—I’m an experienced singer and can play both the ukulele and piano, and I love sharing music with kids in playful, age-appropriate ways. I have my own reliable transportation and am happy to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, or errands as needed. I’d love the opportunity to support your family! Please feel free to reach out to me at[removed]. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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
