Booked by 4 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello! My name is Carmen, and I would love to be considered as your nanny. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children, including those with special needs, and I always strive to create a safe, supportive, and loving environment where every child feels seen and understood. I'm fluent in Portuguese, speak intermediate Spanish, and am confident in English as well,so I'm comfortable working in multilingual households or supporting language development. I'm happy to support with daily routines and learning activities. I have extensive experience with infants, encompassing responsibilities such as feeding, bedtime routines, interactive play, outdoor strolls, and engaging in conversations to enhance their cognitive growth and here are other duties: driving to school and activities, managing doctors' appointments, organizing play dates, and ensuring they are well-fed with nutritious meals. I look forward to hearing from you!! Thank you, Carmen

Jazmine’s main priority is the safety and well-being of the children she cares for. She is an honest person and trustworthy! Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their children! Thank you for all you have done these past few months! Our little one loves you!”

"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)."
