Hi Prospective Parent(s)! My name is Fiona and I’m a junior at Colby College studying International Relations, Economics, and Chinese. I’m back home in New York City for summer break and would love to help out any families in need of childcare. I have prior experience caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children and have babysat since high school. I really enjoy spending quality time with the children I care for and getting to know their personalities and quirks. Though I may be younger than some other applicants, I take safety very seriously and will make it my number one priority. Also, I’m still at an age where I can relate to most children :) Notes: fluent in Mandarin, good knowledge with navigating the city and public transportation, no problem with being technology free. Note: I require 50% of the booking for same day cancellations

“Fiona was so great. She was able to help very last minute and walked into a situation with a 10 month old and a 5.5 year old and jumped right in for a seamless night. Would absolutely recommend Fiona! ”

Hi! I'm a very patient and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience. I am very calm and reliable, I prioritize communication with parents/guardians 100% of the time and I really appreciate every feedback related to childcare. With all of my experience I'm always looking forward to provide a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and have fun while under my care. I'm also very proactive and punctual. My favorite ages to work with are 1-7 years old. I've started my nanny career as A daycare teacher, back in Brazil, and I have been really enjoying working directly with families since I moved to America. I'm open for short and long term positions but mainly expecting something long term so I can bond with the kids and create a meaningful connection over time. I'm fully vaccinated and I have all my childcare certifications up to date.

"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)."
