Booked by 15 families in Long Island City, NY

Hi, I'm Myarra and I've lived my whole life in San Diego but recently just moved back from Santa Barbara! I’ve enjoyed every opportunity I’ve had to look after children and spend time with them! I’ve volunteered as a tutor for grades PreK-12 and took part in many community events like beach cleanups, marathons, etc., as well as worked as a lead counselor and supervisor for camps the past few summers. I worked at a local ice rink in both San Diego and Santa Barbara that is heavily involved with children and helped out with their figure skating academy lessons and hosted children's birthday parties! If you’re interested in my services, please feel free to reach out!

Booked by 31 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello, I'm Xiomara. I absolutely adore working with children. I have experience with babies; toddlers and pre-school age, as well as pre- teens in an academic setting. I am sweet, nurturing and very caring. Parents and teachers I have worked with describe me as warm, very patient, kind, empathetic and enthusiastic. I started working with children, and families, when I was 18 years old. I treat children with love as if they were my own. I am intuitive and attentive to all aspects of a infant needs, from diaper changes to being bottle fed, cuddles, tummy time, nap time to making healthy purées. I also love to read, speak and sing to them throughout the day. With older kids, I promote fun and positivity, safety and encourage a child's natural talent. I can also prepare healthy food, keep kids engaged in play, and read stories while giving voices to each character! I love to arrange play dates, help children meet & make new friends, as well as introduce them to their surroundings, neighborhood & nature. I am active and participate in every activity from arts, music classes, to the playground. There's always an adventure to be had! I love cats and have taken care of them and dogs, if you have pets it's ok with me. I am a native of New York City. I have worn many hats throughout life but I feel working with children is the most meaningful and fulfilling line of work. I hope to meet a family that would like me to be a part of a team to help keep their children safe, happy, loved and learning every day. In my spare time, I am passionate about the healing arts, music, meditation, nutrition, writing, film, photography, dancing, swimming, cycling, & yoga. I am currently looking for opportunities to care for children Part Time or Full time for the right family. Please let me know if you have any questions, I hope to hear from you soon! Best wishes, Xiomara

“Xiomara is an exceptional nanny who has been wonderfully caring for our 5-month-old daughter Arianna. Her expertise goes far beyond basic childcare - she brings a thoughtful, creative approach to engaging our baby. Her activities are carefully designed to support Arianna's development, including tummy time, reading, interactive playtime, and introducing musical experiences by playing music and bringing her own musical instruments. What sets Xiomara apart is her perfect balance of being both calm and energetic, adapting her approach to our baby's needs. She is extremely cautious and safety-conscious, carefully monitoring our daughter during activities and outings. She listens attentively to our parental instructions and demonstrates a genuine, holistic care for our baby's health, emotional well-being, and developmental progress. The most heartwarming aspect is how much our baby loves her - Arianna always greets Xiomara with a big, joyful smile, which speaks volumes about the wonderful connection they've developed. We are delighted to have Xiomara as part of our small family and look forward to continuing our wonderful journey together. ”

Hi, my name is Laura, ex Aupair ✨ Nanny expert ✨I’m a industrial design student, current offering child care, house sitting or pet sitting services. My experience as a baby sitter is very good,I started at home taking care of my little brother but also taking care of 2 kids (1 and 7 years old) for more that one whole year every day… During my job I drove the kids to the school and after school to soccer practice. I worked with the same family for little more than a year and then we became very good friends. Now I’m living here in New York and I’m looking for a good family! I love working with kids, I’m originally from colombia and I can teach the kids Spanish if you need. I can prepare meals to the kids, (not afraid to change diapers). I’m also pet lover. Some dogs and cats can cause me allergies but If a keep washing my hands everything will be fine. Thanks for reading, hope to meet you soon!!!!

"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)."
