Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello, I’m Nicole! I’m a warm, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with over 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. My background in childcare and child development has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, engaging, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. As a former Girl Scout from Daisy through Cadette, I developed strong values around leadership, responsibility, and dependability from an early age. I have experience supervising children throughout the day, managing routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, organizing fun age-appropriate activities, and confidently caring for children in the absence of parents. I’m known for being patient, friendly, trustworthy, and highly reliable. I handle challenging behaviors calmly and respectfully while maintaining clear boundaries and structure. I take pride in being punctual, professional, honest, and dedicated to providing exceptional care. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with diverse families and children. I also have a strong passion for working with children and supporting their well-being and development. I currently attend college on weekends and have a long-term passion for healthcare, with aspirations of continuing to grow in the medical field. My ultimate goal has always been to work in pediatric care, which reflects my genuine love for helping children thrive. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones.

Grace $40 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, and for the past 17 years I’ve worked as a professional nanny. What began as babysitting for neighbors grew into a career built on warmth, reliability, and a deeply hands-on approach to caring for children of all ages. I also spent time as an au pair in Spain, an experience that taught me adaptability, cultural openness, and how to become a trusted part of a family’s daily life. I am originally from London, and grew up in Singapore, Hong Kong and Dallas, Texas. My international upbringing has allowed me to immerse and encourage children in new cultures and adapt to any family quickly. Newborn care is one of my special strengths. I’m confident with feeding, soothing, sleep routines, and the early weeks that can feel overwhelming for new parents, and I take pride in helping families feel supported and rested. As children grow, I love being fully engaged in their world, whether that means reading, creative play, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework and routines. I’m CPR certified, and safety is always at the heart of how I care for children. Parents can count on me for clear communication, reliability, and a calm presence. My goal is to make every child feel safe, seen, and excited about their day, and to give parents complete peace of mind.

Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olga Maria, and I am a proud mother of three wonderful children—two boys and a daughter. Being a mom has given me valuable hands-on experience caring for children, understanding their needs, and creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive. I truly enjoy spending time with children, taking them to the park, engaging them in fun and educational activities, reading stories, and helping them develop their listening skills, creativity, confidence, and social skills. I believe that every child deserves patience, kindness, attention, and quality time. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while providing parents with peace of mind. I enjoy encouraging children to explore, learn new things, play, and develop at their own pace in a positive and supportive environment. As a caring, responsible, and patient mother, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. I would love the opportunity to care for your children as if they were my own, making sure they feel supported, engaged, and well cared for every day.

"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)."
