Sara 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sara, I'm 33 years old, and I have 18 years of childcare experience, with 8 years as a dedicated career nanny. My passion is supporting children and families, and I've studied Elementary Education and Psychology at UNC Charlotte. My experience includes working with children from two weeks old to school age, and I specialize in infant care, sleep training, and milestone development. I am also skilled in homework help and activity planning, such as museum visits, music, and science projects. I am a detail-oriented, intuitive, and emotionally attuned nanny who thrives in homes that need a proactive and communicative presence. I offer family assistance services in addition to childcare, including meal preparation, scheduling, home organization, and travel support. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I assisted a family with five children with virtual schooling, managing their schedules, technology, and classroom participation. I also provided homework and school project assistance to support their academics. I enjoy traveling and have had the opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally with families. One memorable experience was accompanying a family with four children, ages 2-8, to Milan, Italy, where I provided childcare, assisted with homeschooling, and helped the family adjust to life abroad. I also have experience providing extended overnight care, for up to two weeks at a time. I am passionate about emotional well-being and believe in open and honest communication. My goal is to help your family function at its best, and I enjoy coming alongside families who need an extra set of hands to build strong relational bonds with their children. I am independent, organized, and have developed a sense of anticipating needs. I look forward to the opportunity to help improve your family's daily life.

“Sara is the most maternal and thoughtful caregiver. She has perfect instincts and is always advocating for the best for children. She is a great communicator and will respectfully work with parents to raise their children. She is very experienced and is able to take care of newborns to teenagers. I highly recommend her for all types of childcare.”

Trent $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi! My name is Trent, and I’ve always had a heart for caring for others, whether it’s children, seniors, or anyone who needs support. I studied Drama and Education at New York University, where I developed a deep understanding of child/adolescent development, learning styles, diversity, and inclusion. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified for all ages. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I grew up with a younger brother with Down Syndrome, Autism, and Type 1 diabetes, and I have been a caregiver to him my whole life. I have also worked at a special needs kids' gym, which has given me a lot of experience in watching children of all abilities. What I love most about caregiving is the chance to make someone’s day a little easier, brighter, and more joyful. Building trust with families and forming real connections with the people I care for is what keeps me inspired every day. When I’m not caregiving, you’ll usually find me outdoors, reading a new book, or working on a creative project. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always ready to help. I’d love the opportunity to support your family—thank you for considering me!

Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

"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)."
