Clara $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clara, and I’m 22 years old. I recently graduated from the University of Texas with a Journalism degree and am looking for a wonderful family to nanny for in New York (open to any borough!) I have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including three years as a nanny for a family with three children and long-term occasional care for another child from age 1 to 9. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. I’ve also lived in the city before, so I’m very comfortable navigating public transportation and am familiar with many neighborhoods. I’m excited to connect with your family and can provide excellent references upon request!

Carolina 1 review
$33 per hour for 1 child

I love being a babysitter/nanny because I enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn and grow. I love their curiosity and creativity, and I enjoy creating fun memories through games, crafts, stories, and outdoor activities. I also enjoy sharing my culture with them while learning from their unique perspectives. I have experience caring for children of different ages through babysitting, family childcare, and here in the United States. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, preparing meals, helping with routines, organizing activities, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I am responsible, patient, creative, organized, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for children.

“Carolina cared for my daughter when she was 7 years old. She helped her with homework, prepared snacks, and took her to the park. My daughter loved spending time with her and really enjoyed her company. Carolina was caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her!”

"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)."
