Lauren $25 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of experience. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Errands. I have both a first aid and CPR certification. (I am certified in both infant and adult CPR.) I am good with pets, and can assist with those as well (if needed.) A little about me- I am 18 years old, and currently live in Chelsea. I have another part-time nanny job that leaves the hours of 8:30-5:00 fully open for me on school days. I am the oldest child, and have one younger brother who is 16. I have been working as a front desk receptionist at a hair salon since June 2023. I love getting to meet new people, and listen to their stories and experiences! In my free time, I love to read, go for walks with my dogs, bake, hang out with friends, visit with my grandparents, and also organize spaces! I am often referenced as the 'grandma' of my friend group as I like to go to bed early, wake up early, and would rather stay in and read a good book than go out. I have been babysitting/nannying for almost 8 years now, and really enjoy it.

indielacia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Indielacia, but you can call me Indie! I recently moved back home after living in Ithaca, New York, where I attended Ithaca College studying Public Health and Childhood Education. While in Ithaca, I worked at a local daycare and gained almost 3 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have experience with children of different ages, including toddlers, older children, and twins. I’m comfortable with school drop-offs and pick-ups, nap time, bedtime, meals, diapering, potty training, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I love playing, dancing, coloring, doing creative activities, and going to parks or museums with children. I’m patient, caring, energetic, responsible, and dependable, and I always try to make children feel safe and comfortable. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and other pets. I’m CPR-certified and excited to get to know new families and provide caring, one-on-one support!

Christina Leilani $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a warm, responsible, and creative caregiver with extensive nanny experience and a deep passion for working with children. I’ve had the joy of caring for many children and have built lasting bonds with several wonderful families, including two during my time in New York City. In both roles, I not only supported the children’s daily routines and development but also prepared home-cooked meals regularly, helping create a nurturing and nourishing environment. Beyond nannying, I bring a strong foundation in education and child development. I graduated from Chapman University with a degree in Theatre and minors in Psychology and Disability Studies. My experience includes roles as a site director for a musical theatre summer camp with Kid Stock Inc., an ESL teacher at Sylvan Learning Center, and a high school AP Psychology teacher at Uncommon Schools. I also interned in the pediatric speech pathology department at Tripler Army Medical Center, deepening my understanding of childhood communication and development. I truly believe that being part of a child’s journey is one of the most meaningful and rewarding roles a person can have. I would be honored to be a part of your family’s life! I’m a writer who creates poetry and plays, and one of my favorite things to do with children is to create worlds together, whether that’s through storytelling, imaginative play, or even making our own books or puppet shows. I love watching a child’s imagination take the lead and supporting their ideas with prompts, costumes, drawings, or props.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
