Kristel Ann $35 per hour for 1 child

I am excited about the opportunity to become a full-time or part-time nanny for your family. I have over 7+ years of hands-on experience working with busy parents and their children providing dependable childcare while also helping managing the household to make everyday life easier for families. I completed my certification in 2021 for LTSS (Long-Term Services and Support) in Montreal, Canada. I speak both English and French fluently. I moved here from Canada over a year ago. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I also have over 5+ years of experience working as an orderly (PAB) for seniors privately, within retirement homes and CHSLDs. I take pride in supporting children’s healthy development, academic success, and overall well-being. Communication with parents is very important to me. I make it a priority to check in with parents regularly to discuss their children’s progress, development, any concerns or expectations. I am available Monday to Friday (weekends in urgent cases only). I am able to complete school drop-offs and picks-ups, if it’s within walking distance of your home. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, reliability, organization, and genuine care for children to your family. I’m happy to provide references, and my phone number upon request. I recently discovered urbansitter, prior to this, I was placed directly with families by an agency in Astoria. I would be happy to provide their contact info as they also have all my references on file. Thank you for considering me. I hope to hear from you soon! 😊

Jalani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jalani and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household support. I started working with kids in high school while helping at a daycare, and since then I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my goddaughter and friends’ children of different ages. I focus on making sure little ones feel safe, comfortable, fed, and genuinely looked after. I’m patient, attentive, and I love creating a smooth, happy environment for the kids I’m with. I also have experience with pet sitting, especially dogs and cats, and have stayed with pets for several days at a time. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets calm and cared for while their owners are away. For house sitting, I’m organized, responsible, and great at keeping a home tidy and running smoothly. I’m someone families feel comfortable trusting with their space and their loved ones. I bring a warm, positive presence and communicate clearly so you always know everything is taken care of. Looking forward to working with you and your family! x

Daniela $32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jamaica, NY

Hi! My name is Dani and I am a nanny and visual artist in Brooklyn, NY with 8 years of experience working with families. I originally grew up in northeastern Massachusetts raised by my Ecuadorian father and Portuguese mother. Because of this, I am fluent in Spanish as a second language and can get by fairly well with Portuguese, though i'm practicing to improve that skill. My experience in childcare ranges from the newborn stage up to twelve years old with a majority of my time being with infants and toddlers. I really enjoy the outdoors, recreational activities and working on art projects like painting, mixed media collage and crochet all in which I blend into my work as a nanny. My interest in plant and earth science has grown to be a useful part of conversation with young children, giving them an opportunity to be more curious and conscious to the world we are a part of which is a major part of my core values that I like to share along with care, compassion, safety and learning. While caring for children, I have been happy to lead, manage and assist parents with various tasks such as meal preparation, home organizing, activity planning, laundry and light cleaning.

Monica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Monica, I’m an ex Au Pair/nanny and I’m offering child care, pet care and household services. I’ve been a nanny in the states since 2019 but I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 17 years old in my home country Bolivia.(yeah I do speak Spanish too 😊). I have experience with kids from different ages, and my usual responsibilities were taking them to school, preparing breakfast, lunch,snacks, helping them with homework, taking them to after school activities or going to the park. In addition to that I can help with light house chores, cleaning or running errands.

"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)."
