Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

$30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alice and I'm 31 years old living in Middle Village, Queens. I have a profile also on care.com which has more reviews and have been using for years and new to this site if it helps sending it :) I first started caring for kids in a day-care at a gym 10 years ago then started on care.com and worked with many, many wonderful families since then and have found my passion working with children. I worked with kids from 2.5 to 12 years old to kids with autism/sensory issues, shy kids, chatty kids, kids with anxiety, so I'm super experienced and can relate to kids and understand how every chid has their own special personalities and needs. I drive my own car and my duties would always include picking kids up from school, taking them home, making sure they are comfortable unload backpacks if needed, give snacks/lunch if needed and let them have a little break, any after school activities in the same neighborhood, summer camps drop off/pick up, going to park, have done remote learning, sick days, making sure they do choirs or encourage doing things together and always teaching kids positive things, sometimes parents would just love us staying home and going on walks around a couple blocks, all depends on the kids and parents needs :) Always willing to work with what the family needs and usually make ourselves a schedule to go by and if they like alone time/ personality needs and traits and I love becoming a person they can always talk with and become someone they can talk too and go for any advice and comfort. Always communicating if any issues occur and look for that in parents as well. Communication, respect, caring families is always whats most important to me. My number one priority for the children I’m caring for is making sure they are safe, happy, comfortable and in the best care possible.

Alice worked with us for about 10 months, helping us out with our then 3 year old daughter. She helped us with pick up, taking our daughter to after school activities, and occasionally giving her shower. Alice was friendly and flexible with our schedule, and our daughter did enjoy the time they spent together.

Sophie 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I'm Sophie!! I'm a lifelong nanny and babysitter living in NYC. I recently quit my office job and am in and out of the city over the next few months but looking for part time and one-off work while I'm here. I love spending time with children and can't wait to meet yours:) A little about me: For two years during a gap in my college journey I worked as a nanny for a newborn and preschooler. I was responsible for the daily care and safety of the baby boy from his very first days home. I gained countless hours of practical experience changing, bathing, feeding, sleep training, and entertaining. When needed, I transported his 3-year-old sister to and from school, and helped with household tasks including meal-planning, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and organization. Observing and facilitating both children's development over time was one of the greatest privileges of my life so far. I felt gratified every day knowing I was making a tangible difference in their lives, as well as aiding in the overall well-being of the family. I take child care very seriously and am always working to get better at my job. I'm interested in Early Childhood pedagogy and take great care in creating developmentally appropriate activities for the children I work with. In recent years, I’ve worked part time for various families with children ranging from 6 months to twelve years old and have at times been responsible for up to 4 children at a time. I'm a confident, warm, and responsible caregiver who genuinely loves spending time with children.

Sophie is this generation’s Mary Poppins. She cared for my three year old and my newborn for over a year and made the most magical impact you could imagine. Every day was a fun new activity that she dreamed up for my three year old, and for my newborn there was no one air rather have caring for him. She leads with so much love, and is consistent, clear, and immensely capable with children. She also is a fantastic cook and baker! I could write essays about how amazing Sophie is. I wish she had not moved to New York and I’m trying to get her to move to where I am now because that’s how incredible a human being she is.

"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

"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)."
