Lulu $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lulu, and I’m a Montessori-trained early childhood educator with a deep love for nurturing curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young children. I recently spent several years in London working in both hospitality and family environments before moving to New York, and I bring a warm, calm, and thoughtful approach to caregiving. Most recently I worked as a Lead Guide in a Montessori Young Toddler classroom, supporting children 15-24 months through independence-building activities, emotional development, and hands-on learning. I love creating environments where children feel safe to explore the world around them while developing their own sense of capability. Alongside childcare, I’m also a trained yoga and meditation practitioner, and I enjoy bringing elements of mindfulness, movement, and calm into the day—whether that’s through breathing exercises, stretching, or simply creating peaceful moments in a busy toddler schedule. Creativity is a big part of my life as well. I work in floristry and love incorporating nature into activities with children—flower arranging, nature walks, seasonal crafts, and sensory play inspired by the outdoors. I believe children thrive when they can engage with beauty, texture, and the natural world. I also volunteered with 240 Wellbeing, supporting community mental health initiatives, which has deepened my understanding of emotional care, empathy, and supporting both children and families through life’s ups and downs. Families often describe me as calm, attentive, and deeply engaged with children. I value building trusting relationships with both parents and little ones, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where children feel seen, respected, and joyful. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family!

Anatea $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hello! My name is Anatea and I am offering child, senior, and/or pet care as well as basic household chores/organizational help. I have been working with children for over 10 years ages ranging from newborns to high school students. Some of my previous responsibilities included: tutoring, driving to school/activities, cooking, etc. I have loved forming connections with the children I worked with over the years and being someone that they can look up to and count on. As for senior care, my experience stems mainly from caring for my grandparents as they got older, and additionally in a clinical setting when I worked as a medical assistant. I am happy to house/dog sit, or take your pet on a walk! A bit about me: I speak Polish fluently and French proficiently. Some of my hobbies include dancing (ballet and modern), tennis, hiking, and piano. I am also AED/CPR certified!

Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Aisha, and I’m currently a student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I also work part-time as a paraprofessional at Success Academy Schools, where I support students throughout the academic year. I live in downtown Manhattan near Chelsea piers I’ve been a dedicated nanny for over six years, and I truly love what I do. Working with children brings me so much joy—I’m constantly inspired by their creativity and unique ways of thinking. My experience includes caring for children of various ages, helping them with daily routines, and fostering their growth through fun and educational activities. In addition to childcare, I offer tutoring support, helping children learn their basic words, phonics, and alphabet recognition using effective and engaging learning techniques. My goal is always to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment where children feel confident and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"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."

"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)."
