Geralis $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mount Vernon, NY

I started working with kids when I interned at the NYPL as a "literacy leader" tutoring 1st & 2nd graders. I worked 1 on 1 with a little girl from the DR, who arrived not knowing any English, and it was so rewarding to bond with her, teach her the language, and witness her joy as she learned. Over the summer I interned at a nursery school and worked with 1-4 year olds! A little bit about me, I'm 21 years old and a student at Lehman college studying psychology. I'd describe my personality as sweet, funny, and calm! I like working with children because their curiosity and joy are infectious! It's heartwarming to see the world through their pov. I always make sure that the child feels comfortable and supported, I am good at coming up with ideas and activities. I love to teach the children new things, do crafts, explore with them, and most of all create amazing bonds! I want to be able to provide parents with comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones!

Sahira $30 per hour for 1 child

I am 32 years old and I have been working hands on with children since I was about 15 years old. I became a certified assistant provider at the age of 24. I currently work at Bethlehem Group Family Daycare as the Assistant Manager. It is a family business that's been in operation since 2004. Working with children has been very rewarding. I have acquired the wisdom to provide exceptional care to children through needed certified trainings and professional experience. I believe to have the needed personality traits to be of good steward. These traits are patience, empathy, understanding, creativity, compassion, enthusiasm, respect, playfulness, and many others. I am a mother to an amazing and intelligent 6 year old boy who has helped mold me into the woman I am today. I am a lover of animals and have never been without a pet. I also have experience with caring for seniors, as I was the unofficial home-aid attendant of both my grandparents while they were alive. I can also out clean anyone and actually enjoy cleaning.

Hello, My name is Mary. I majored in Biology at Gordon College and have over 11 years of professional childcare experience. I worked at a daycare center for 8 years-caring for infants to toddlers. Also, I have 3 years of experience working as a private nanny for a 1 year old child. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong ability to provide a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment, while quickly understanding and responding to each child's individual needs. I genuinely love working with children and take pride in supporting their growth and development in a warm and engaging way. I am known for my bright, caring, and patient personality.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Calia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hellooo! I'm a compassionate, dependable nanny with over 6 years of experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun while feeling supported and cared for. I have experience providing daily care, preparing meals, bottles, and snacks, supporting homework and learning routines, planning age-appropriate activities such as reading, crafts, and outdoor play, and managing bath time, bedtime, and morning routines. I also assist with light housekeeping, laundry, and organization to help keep the household running smoothly. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and known for my patience, reliability, and strong communication skills. I have strong cultural awareness and enjoy working with diverse families. I am also willing to travel to work in or outside of New York. I have experience caring for children from infancy through age 10, including infant care such as bottle preparation, diapering, and soothing. My goal is to provide dependable care, peace of mind for parents, and positive, meaningful experiences for the children in my care. One of the reasons I love working with children is that every day brings something new. Their curiosity, creativity, and unique personalities make spending time with them incredibly rewarding. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where children can feel comfortable, learn, play, and simply be themselves. Building meaningful connections with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy is something I find incredibly rewarding. It’s a privilege to be a positive part of their day and to earn the trust of both children and parents.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
