Booked by 8 families in Kew Gardens, NY

Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.

Hi moms and dads! My name is Aliana and I have over six years of experience caring for kids from newborns to age 14, and I genuinely love what I do! I’m looking for a part time job during the school year, and full time or part time job from late June to mid August. I’m a 22 year old college student going for nursing and am First Aid and CPR Certified. I also am up to date with all of my vaccinations, including COVID-19. I hold my NY State Driver’s license, but do not have a car. I’m warm, reliable, and easygoing, and I enjoy building real connections with both kids and parents. I have a creative and adventurous side! I love planning fun activities, getting outside, and keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, and little adventures around our beautiful city. At the same time, I’m responsible, organized, and always focused on creating a safe and happy environment where kids can be themselves.

Aliana is an amazing sitter! She is wonderful with both my children, engaging them well and even can get my youngest son to stop crying when I leave (other sitters can’t!). She does an amazing job with helping tidy the house even stepping in on laundry. She is an A +++ level sitter and I would trust her fully.

Booked by 11 families in Kew Gardens, NY

I am a 23 year old college student studying to become a child psychologist. I have had 6+ years of experience with children. I have worked with 20+ kids at Mill Basin Day Camp and I have also done many other babysitting jobs. My patience is out of this world which is very important when working with kids and I am also very creative and fun which I think they enjoy! I have worked with kids with learning disabilities, and psychological disorders so I am experienced in being able to help kids who may have complications with independently completing certain tasks or may require different child care approaches. Because I am studying to be a child psychologist I believe that I understand children on a deeper level and I connect with them, and communicate with them which is very important for their physical and mental well being.

Booked by 16 families in Kew Gardens, NY

Hi, I'm Mary! I've always loved kids, and find that nothing brings me as much joy as working with them. I have over 13 years of babysitting experience, and over 7 years experience as a nanny/after school sitter. I've worked with almost every age, ranging from 4 months to young teens. I have a degree in Acting/Musical theatre from Carnegie Mellon, and find that my experience "playing pretend" has lent itself quite well to working with children, as they have the best imaginations of us all. I'm vaxxed/boosted, and also love all animals.

Hey! I'm Kadiatou, and I am currently attending Mount Holyoke College. In addition to housekeeping services, I provide child care. Since I was 13 years old, I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and children because I adore being a babysitter. I have experience working as a camp counselor at a day camp and as an intern at a daycare. In addition to providing a loving and engaging environment, crafts, and even tutoring, some of my duties have involved monitoring to guarantee everyone's safety. In addition, I can do errands and clean as a household assistant.

"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)."
