$30 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced childcare provider with 5 years of full time nanny experience, including live in, and have been babysitting for much longer. I pride myself in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I am dedicated to ensuring children's well-being and development, implementing age-appropriate activities, and developing strong relationships with parents. I have experience taking children to various activities, organizing educational and recreational outings, and managing all household tasks related to the child. I love art in my personal life and like finding ways to implement that through age appropriate crafts! My full time experience has been primarily infants and toddlers, but I have experience with all ages. I am young and energetic which helps me really keep up with busy children and develop deeper connections. I absolutely love this job and aspire to be a career nanny, this is not temporary for me, so I would really love to find a family I can grow with long term. I am travel ready (global entry, valid passport) and comfortable traveling both domestically and internationally for work. I am CPR/First Aid certified and knowledgeable in water safety.

Joset Brooklyn
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone, My name is Joset. I live in Brooklyn and I'm CPR Certified and fully vaccinated. I have more than 20 years experience in Childcare, caring for children from infant through to teen. I'm a very nurturing, loving, dedicated, jovial and fun person. I love caring for children because It's a joy for me to work with them and see their different stages of development and to teach new things while learning from them also. I've cared for 9 months old twin, changing their diaper, feeding them, sterilizing bottles, putting them down for naps, taking them for walks, to music class etc. I cared for mute boys ages 4&2 who were on the spectrum, that allows me to work with speech, occupational and physical therapists. Also I have worked with a 7-year-old who had ADHD for 3 years, whom I took all over New York City to Dr. appointment, museums, zoo, library, picnic in the park, movies and many more. I can commit to any job for long term, I've been on one of my previous job for over 6 years and I also have impeccable references. My current boss is moving and I'm available to start a new job. Looking forward hearing from you. Joset

Laura 2 reviews
Brooklyn
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Laura, and I’m a bilingual Argentinian artist based in NYC. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, starting when I was 18 years old caring for young children, and for the past 8 years in New York I have worked with families as both a babysitter and full-time nanny. My experience includes caring for children from 2 months old through 13 years old. I also worked as a full-time nanny for 2 years caring for two toddlers, helping manage daily routines including meals, naps, playtime, outdoor activities, bedtime routines, and developmental support. As an artist, I love incorporating creativity into childcare through arts and crafts, imaginative play, storytelling, and engaging hands-on activities. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable and supported. I also have experience with pet care and am very comfortable in homes with dogs, cats, and am open to pet sitting opportunities. I’m open to babysitting, nannying, recurring care, date nights, school pickups, and family support. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!

We've been lucky to know Lau since my daughter was just two months old, and she's been a trusted sitter for our family over the past seven years. Over that time, she's become part of our family's village, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She is kind, creative, fun, and genuinely loves being with kids. She she gets down on their level, plays, creates, and treats them with respect. My daughter and her friends adore her, listen to her, and she has a calm, effortless way of building trust while still providing structure. Lau is reliable, trustworthy and a great soul to be around. Any family would be lucky to have 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."

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)."
