Abion $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Abion, and I have been working as a nanny for more than eight years. I truly enjoy caring for children and supporting their growth, development, and happiness. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and babies to school-age children. I am CPR trained and a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, which has given me specialized knowledge and experience in caring for newborns and supporting families during the early stages of their child’s life. Over the years, I have developed a patient, caring, responsible, and dependable approach to childcare. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I would be happy to bring my experience, dedication, and passion for childcare to a new family and become someone they can trust and rely on.

Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

After three years of experience with household cleaning, I’ve become confident, efficient, and consistent in how I maintain a clean and organized home. I no longer clean randomly or react only when things get messy—I follow routines that keep my space in good condition every day, while also scheduling deeper cleans so nothing is neglected. I understand which tasks need daily attention, like dishes, countertops, and general tidying, and which ones require weekly or monthly focus, such as bathrooms, floors, appliances, and storage areas. My experience shows most in my attention to detail. I’m mindful of high-touch areas like door handles, light switches, and remotes, and I don’t overlook corners, baseboards, or hard-to-see buildup. I know how to properly clean different surfaces—glass, wood, stainless steel, fabric—without damaging them, and I choose the right products and tools instead of relying on trial and error. Cleaning has become more deliberate and precise rather than rushed or surface-level. I’ve also developed strong time-management skills. I work efficiently, breaking tasks into manageable steps so cleaning doesn’t feel overwhelming. I can clean thoroughly without wasting energy, and I adapt my approach depending on the condition of the space or how much time I have. After three years, cleaning feels less like a chore and more like a practiced skill—one that allows me to maintain a consistently high standard of cleanliness, comfort, and order in my home.

Hi families! My name is Jennifer, I am caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver who truly loves working with children. I have 3 years of paid experience (5+ years of unpaid experience caring for my family's kids) caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens and I always strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves.

I understand how important trust and communication are, and I'm committed to building strong relationships with both kids and parents. I am BLS certified (Basic Life Support ), a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and I'm more than happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, or pet care if needed.

"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)."
