I’m an experienced sitter based in the NYC, known for being calm, dependable, and great with evening and bedtime routines. I’ve worked with children of all ages and am especially comfortable with date nights, after-school care, homework help, and settling kids down for the night. Parents often tell me they appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and low-stress presence. Happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, reading, quiet play, and maintaining routines while you’re out. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have excellent references. Available evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute requests.

Hi, my name is Brittany! I have been in childcare for over 9 years. I have specifically consistently worked in infant childcare for the past 7, but also have and enjoy working with littles of all ages! Flexible schedule, with lots of experience caring for more than one child at a time. Hoping to connect with families looking for some extra help creating a loving, safe and nurturing environment for their child/children. Looking forward to working with you. Thank you!😊

Brittany has been our longtime babysitter and is truly part of our family. She’s amazing with kids – so professional, warm, and experienced, both in her career and personally. As first-time parents, we’ve learned so much from her. She’s seen everything and always supports and educates us without judgment. She is always on time, incredibly reliable, and genuinely loves children. Our son doesn’t love everyone, but he absolutely adores Brittany. She’s fun, nurturing, and feels like another mom in his life. We’re so excited she’s expanding her network via the app because any family would be lucky to have her.

Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

I have experience caring for children from early infancy through early adolescence. I worked as an Au Pair in the United States, where I was responsible for the children’s daily routine, including feeding, transportation, recreational activities, academic support, and general care. In addition, I volunteer at a children’s hospital, where I carry out playful and educational activities with children of different ages. My background in Pharmacy also provides me with knowledge in health and first aid, contributing to safe and responsible childcare.

We scheduled Gláucia last minute and she was very quick to get in touch and coordinate. We were able to show her our daughter’s bedtime routine and she did a great job getting her to sleep! We had an awesome night out and will book her again soon.

Let me introduce myself- I’m monica. I I was born in Colombia, South American, As a child I was adopted and raised in New York City by my mother who was a public school teacher for 36 years before retiring from the NYC Board of Education. I married at a young age and now have an amazing eighteen year old daughter, who is a freshman at college in Michigan. Throughout my daughter’s childhood I was fortune enough to be a full time mother, and so I devoted myself completely to her. I am eternally grateful for my role as her mother. When she was a child, she sang, with the children’s Chorus of New York Metropolitan Opera. Rehearsal, auditions, and picking her up from school took up most of my time. There were many trips to the park, theater performances, dancing classes, and other varied experiences. I have listed these so you will feel assured that I will do these or other activities to enrich the lives of your children. Having been a mother for many years, I feel more than capable of providing care to your child(ren). I love animals and have one on my own. (Pug, Penny)

Monica was awesome. She bonded with my twins right away.

"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)."
