Hi, my name is Laura, ex Aupair ✨ Nanny expert ✨I’m a industrial design student, current offering child care, house sitting or pet sitting services. My experience as a baby sitter is very good,I started at home taking care of my little brother but also taking care of 2 kids (1 and 7 years old) for more that one whole year every day… During my job I drove the kids to the school and after school to soccer practice. I worked with the same family for little more than a year and then we became very good friends. Now I’m living here in New York and I’m looking for a good family! I love working with kids, I’m originally from colombia and I can teach the kids Spanish if you need. I can prepare meals to the kids, (not afraid to change diapers). I’m also pet lover. Some dogs and cats can cause me allergies but If a keep washing my hands everything will be fine. Thanks for reading, hope to meet you soon!!!!

Hi, my name is Valeria. I speak two lenguajes fluently, Spanish and English, I also have beginner korean and German. I studied at Baruch college with a major in international business and a minor in marketing. I am now doing my master degree however I am currently just doing research therefore I have all freedom when it comes to scheduling. I’ve been working as babysitter since 2018 with UrbanSitter and I’ve been a mentor and tutor for kids starting from preK all the way through 7th grade with some experiences in high school writing tutoring. I truly love to work with kids and pets, having experience with both. I have worked with a big range of ages and more than 15 long term families along the way. In my free time, I love to dance, learn languages, and travel. I would love to become part of your family and for you to become part of mine. I still occasionally work with families I worked for full time years ago.

How’s it going , When it comes to raising four boys at home, The safety awareness skills you learn while mothering your own children will stay with you throughout your life. Racing my four boys taught me the stages of childhood development and what to expect at different ages. These skills are useful when working with kids at any time in the future and especially if you are planning on working with children to make living! How to entertain children With enough motherhood skills plus caring for other children, you can have child-entertaining down to a fine art. You can quickly become a master of playing, reading, singing, drawing, improvising, and having fun. Children get sick a lot (particularly when attending childcare centers), so caring for them when they are not well is something you will pick up right away. There are many tactics to know that can make a child feel more comfortable, loved, and to help them recover quicker. You can also learn how to prevent the spread of germs and stop other people from getting sick, including yourself! Helping children to understand their emotions, manage their feelings, and learn the difference between right and wrong behavior is challenging, but it is also a rewarding experience. There are many subtleties to learn and every family may have a slightly different set of disciplinary values they wish to uphold. Sometimes children are prone to tantrums. You can learn to pre-empt trigger situations, and how to plan around them. You can learn the art of distraction (very powerful) and if a tantrum does occur, you can learn how to stay calm in stressful situations while remaining firm with your principles. Child encouragement and motivation strategies! Explaining why things need to be done! Building trust, and; Leading by example. These learned strategies can be invaluable in your day-to-day when dealing with children. I hope this answers some of your questions and please to hesitate to contact me if you are willing to meet. I have excellent references available upon request. My references can attest to my dedication, reliability, and the positive impact I have had on the children I have cared for. Have a bless day.... I

Booked by 8 families in New York, NY

Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

“She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.”

"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

"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)."
