Taylor 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a Registered Nurse with a background in nannying, babysitting, and infant/toddler care in both home and hospital settings. Caregiving has always been part of my life—before nursing school, I worked with babies and toddlers, and over the years I’ve also supported seniors, families in the community, and plenty of pets. I’m currently in BirthSmarter training and starting the path toward becoming a nurse-midwife, so working closely with families feels like a natural fit. I’m creative, patient, and very communicative, and I love bringing a calm, nurturing presence to the home. I’m looking for a steady full-time role with a Brooklyn family where I can offer both reliability and genuine warmth.

“Taylor has been an incredible help to our family. She cared for our toddler and our senior dog with a level of calm competence that immediately put us at ease. Her nursing background shows in the way she notices small details and communicates clearly, but she also has this creative, gentle energy that our daughter responded to right away. She was punctual, respectful of our home, and genuinely present—no phone scrolling, no rushing through the evening routine. I appreciated how confident and patient she was during bedtime, and how thoughtfully she handled our dog’s medication schedule. We’d gladly work with her again. Anyone who hires her will feel lucky to have her on their team.”

I am 23 and an actor now residing in NYC. I was born & raised in Indiana and used to help keep my Nana company and would assist with my younger cousins. Being an actor, I love to play make believe with the little ones. I was also an assistant improv instructor for kids ages 5-12 and an acting teacher for neurodiverse/disabled teens and adults. I enjoy doing creative projects and interacting with children (preferred ages 4-12). Learn more about me at[removed] Pet Care 🐾 I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t befriend. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, fish, and even some reptiles! Feel free to inquire about more specifics. You can also find me on Rover.

"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)."
