Keira $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Keira and I’m a professional nanny with over 3 years of full-time experience caring for kids of all ages—from infants to pre-teens. I also have a background in nursing and elementary education, which means I’m extra confident when it comes to safety, child development, and emotional care. In the past, I’ve helped with everything from bottle feeding and potty training to homework, crafts, outdoor play, and bedtime routines. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and known for being calm, dependable, and fun to be around! I also help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and can travel or do overnights if needed. I’m based in NYC and have open availability.

Addison $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Architecture at Columbia University. I babysat regularly from elementary through middle school for families in my Texas hometown, caring for kids of all ages, and continued to occasionally babysit during college. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm great at keeping children engaged with creative activities (drawing, building, crafts; some of the perks of being a designer!), helping with homework, and sticking to whatever routines or rules parents set. I'm comfortable handling meals, bedtime, bath time, and the everyday chaos that comes with kids. I'm also happy to help tidy up so you come home to a calm house. Beyond babysitting, I'm responsible, communicative, and easy to reach. I'll always send updates if you'd like them, and I take safety seriously. I'm a non-smoker and get around the city easily by subway, so I can come to you anywhere in NYC. I'd love to meet your family!

Abby $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m from West Philadelphia (born and raised) and am now pursuing a PhD at Columbia University! I’ve been babysitting school-age kids since I was a teenager, and I am adept at bedtime stories, outdoor play, tutoring, and cooking. For longer-term gigs, I like to encourage kids to try new things and build age-appropriate skills (with parents’ permission of course). I studied physics in college and am a first-year PhD student in Earth and Environmental Science, so if your kids need some tutoring or homework help in STEM, I’d be happy to provide it!

I'm CPR and First Aid certified and available Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. -11:00 p.m. , with weekends, holidays and overnights available.

Hanna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Hanna and I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have watched children of all different age ranges starting from infants all the way through 5th grade. Some of the responsibilities I can take on are driving/walking to and from school, tutoring, cooking, cleaning, and playing games and sports! If you need errands run for you I will gladly take that on as well.

"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)."
