Booked by 4 families in Long Island City, NY

NYC-based. A bit about my background: Most recently, I served as a Public Speaking Instructor for teens through TED Summer School at Barnard College, where I loved helping students build confidence and find their voice. I’ve also nannied children from 6 months to 12 years old, including a 2-year-old I cared for on weekends and during daycare drop-off and pickup. While in college, I was a dedicated part-time nanny for two Bay Area families, and over the years I’ve also worked as a YMCA therapeutic youth mentor, Girl Scout camp counselor, and Boys & Girls Club and Make-A-Wish volunteer. Child development matters deeply to me. I have 20 years of experience working with children. I studied Sociology (BA from UCSB) and understand how meaningful early experiences can be in shaping a child’s confidence and sense of self. When I babysit, I like to actively engage children through imaginative play, creativity, conversation, and activities—with limited technology when possible. I want children to feel heard, understood, cared for, and free to be themselves. I’m also happy to handle bedtime or naps, including winding down with a good book. My availability is currently flexible as I settle into my new NYC neighborhood, so I’m happy to connect about recurring or occasional childcare needs. I’d love to get to know your family!

“Stephanie is a delight! She took great care of our 2 yo. She's attentive and kind and fun. We worked with her as a regular – she helped out with daycare pickup and dropoff, date nights, and weekend care. She was always on time, professional, organized, and communicative. We were sad when she moved away, and our 2 yo still asks about her!”

Hello, families! My name is Andyleidy, but you can call me Leidy (pronounced like “Lady”) I’m fully vaccinated and graduated from high school in 2023. I attend BMCC majoring in nursing,I am not enrolled this semester, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m reliable, organized, a great communicator, and always willing to adapt to each family’s unique routine and parenting style. Whether you need occasional, part-time, or full-time care, I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can count on. I have years of childcare experience, caring for infants, toddlers, and children since I was 12 years old by babysitting my younger siblings and cousins. I’m a patient, responsible, caring, and dependable nanny who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I also have experience tutoring children, helping with homework, and cooking—one of my favorite hobbies! I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities while also encouraging independent play when it’s appropriate. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and enjoy staying active. I love sports, especially volleyball, and bringing that energy into games and outdoor activities with kids. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, running errands, meal preparation, and other household tasks to help make your family’s day a little easier. I’m also pet-friendly and have a puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable around pets. If you have any questions or would like to get to know me better, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

"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)."
