Bella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Bella. I've spent close to a decade with private families — first in Southern California where I grew up, and now in New York. I'm calm under pressure, comfortable with infants through tweens (including kids with special needs and twins), and I think the best nannies are the ones whose presence makes the apartment feel a degree quieter, not louder. I'm pursuing a master's in Computer Science at Pace University, live in Tribeca, and can be at most downtown apartments in fifteen minutes. References available from every family I've worked with. Always happy to start with a paid trial day. Rates run $30–$40/hr depending on the day and number of kids.

Stella $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Stella, an Upper West Side-based student studying International Relations & Economics at the University of St Andrews. I'm responsible, organized, and genuinely love spending time with kids and animals, whether that's playing, helping with homework, or just keeping things fun and running smoothly. I've been a dancer since 2016, training 3–4 hours a day, 6 days a week across 7 disciplines at the Academy at Steps on Broadway, where I was accepted into both the pre-professional program and the Youth Company. Through a mentorship program connected to my dance training, I worked directly with younger dancers, guiding them, building their confidence, and making the learning process fun. That experience of nurturing kids in a structured but encouraging environment is something I hope to bring to every family I work with. My experience as a Production Intern at Johannes Leonardo, where I managed logistics, coordinated vendors, and kept complex projects on track, shows that I'm dependable and calm under pressure. I also led my high school's Model UN club and served as a Student Senate Representative, which sharpened my communication skills and ability to connect with people of all ages. I'm also happy to help with pet care, whether that's walks, feeding, or simply keeping your furry family members company. On top of that, I'm available for household tasks like cleaning, grocery runs, and errands. I take pride in being someone families can rely on for just about anything that needs to get done. I'm punctual, caring, and genuinely committed to making life easier for the families I work with. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to meet your family!

Heather $17 per hour for 1 child

I've been a counselor at Rock Camp's before as well as a music teacher. I've mainly worked with kids ages 5+. I'm an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I grew up with dogs and have taken care of other friends and relatives animals before. My experience with seniors who need additional care is with my own mother who has MS and I grew up with her having disabilities so I'm very knowledgeable with taking care of older seniors. I'm looking for some work right now while I'm in-between jobs. I can help with house care as well. Thank you for your consideration. -Heather

"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."

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)."
