Hi! My name is Jessica. I have over 15 years experience with nannying/babysitting as well as children with disabilities. I have been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life (34 years). I’m a very kind, responsible, reliable, positive, hard working, compassionate, patient, calm, caring, organized, clean, tidy, adaptable, easy going, friendly, rational decision maker, friendly and proactive professional who excels at helping others and taking care of households. I began babysitting at 14 and began nannying at the age of 18 through present. I’ve worked with infants, kids, and teens as well as individuals with disabilities of all ages (an area I thrive in). Nannying/babysitting/helping others/ taking care of households comes naturally to me and I absolutely excel in these fields of work with a positive and “go getter” attitude! When I am babysitting/nannying/taking care of pets/households that is my main focus and I do not let anything get in the way of accomplishing my goals or work. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

“Loved her! She showed up on time, was super pleasant and Raven loved her. They had ice cream and went to the park. She sent me pix and kept me updated which was great. Would recommend her again ! ”

“Having Dani watch Lilah was an absolute joy. My daughter adored her. I'm a single mom with a 10 year old who has to hustle in LA so I really needed an attentive and loving sitter and Dani answered that call. Was great at communication, very warm, patient, and attentive to my little girl. There was even an occasion that a shoot ran late and I had to have Dani stay after hours and she was so understanding and accommodating. A literal lifesaver. I can tell she loves what she does. I really think Lilah built such an attachment to her!”

Hello my name is Persia and I currently live in NYC. I’m offering my services for Childcare and Pets. I love children and animals very much and have always found that they are a joy to be around and work with. While my experience with newborn is slim to none, fortunately I have years of experience with watching children and pets. My experience started at 15 with babysitter and throughout the years me and my family have been very trusted caretakers of pets. I can cook, clean, and take care of any other house hold chores. I can also commute To the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Happy to help anyone in need!

“Persia, Is pretty quick at learning. And responsive. I wish I had more time with her. But I think she will be a great fit with any family. She helped with my 3 boys and followed instructions to keep tonthe routine we had set.”

SUMMER BREAK AVAILABILITY! Hi parents! I know how important it is to find a caregiver you can trust. I’ve been working as a nanny in NYC for the 2 year,s and babysitting since I was 12, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am currently working with a family of 4 boys, ages 6 years to 6 months. I am looking for other temporary jobs while they are out of town for the next couple of weeks. My responsibilities include taking and picking up kids from school, taking them to their various activities and extra curricular activities, cooking and meal time, and getting ready for bed, along with general care taking, playing, and supervision. I enjoy meeting kids where they are at, engaging in their interests and joys, and creating a space where they can feel safe and cared for. I am currently a graduate student studying social work at Fordham University where I’m learning how to support children in meaningful and developmentally appropriate ways. As apart of my program, I work 3x a week in an elementary school doing one-on-one counseling with children ages 6-10 with behavioral and developmental issues. I’m upbeat, patient, and love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I’d love the opportunity to support your family! I’m also very comfortable with household pets and happy to help feed and care for them while babysitting. Whether it’s giving them extra attention, taking them outside, or making sure they’re well-fed, I’ll ensure your pets feel just as comfortable and cared for as the rest of the family!

Nazia $30 per hour for 1 child

Working in the local school district with 9 years of experience and a diverse list of roles, my passion for nurturing children's growth and supporting families drives my every action. Working with the Teaneck School District allowed me to develop a versatile approach in supporting children from Pre-K to High-school, especially those with special needs. I'm patient, calm, and friendly, and I believe in open communication with parents about their childrens' day. I'm comfortable following the parents' lead in enforcing household rules. My training and experience have equipped me to engage children through educational games, board games, and puzzles. I'm thrilled to care for up to two children between the ages of 0 and 11. I am confident my past experience working with children will make me a perfect candidate for this type of job. Let's embark on a nurturing journey together!

"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)."
