Hi. My name is Maridania and I am currently in my senior year at UCLA. I provide childcare, senior care, and housekeeping services. I love being a nanny and have cared for newborns, babies, toddlers, and children (even twins!) since I was 15. My responsibilities have included dropping off and returning to school, doing crafts, tutoring, and even teaching dance classes. I also work as a home helper and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have cared for my own grandparents and am comfortable with caring for seniors. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other chores. (I am also a great coworker!)

New York
$23 per hour for 1 child

I enjoy babysitting and have been caring for children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids for many years, especially growing up with younger siblings. My experience includes driving children to and from school, organizing crafts and activities, and providing elementary-level tutoring. In addition, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, running errands, transportation to appointments, and other daily tasks. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets and multi-generational families, including those with grandparents.

Erik was our nanny for 2–3 years, and if we could have taken him with us when we moved, we absolutely would have. He became such an important part of our family. Erik became such an important part of our family. He is an incredible caregiver — patient, loyal, and deeply trustworthy. He prepared meals for our children, handled overnights with confidence, and was always there whenever a situation came up. We always felt completely at ease knowing our kids were in his care. Any family would be so lucky to have him.

$28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Aisha Balonfentse and I'm from Staten Island, New York. I've always been surrounded by children and have developed a genuine love for caring for and working with kids of all ages. Im a graduate of Curtis High school & have also attended College of Staten Island majoring in psychology which gave me valuable knowledge about health, development, and overall well being. Currently Im an Experienced nanny with 4+ years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. Skilled in managing daily routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, planning age-appropriate activities, school pickups & drop offs, household organization and maintaining a safe & fun environment. Im patient and dedicated to supporting children's growth, development, and overall well-being. I’m also a big sister to 4 younger siblings that I have helped raise since I was 15. One of the things I enjoy most about being a nanny is spending quality time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I love engaging in activities, organizing play dates, and encouraging positive social interactions that help build confidence and ensure they develop strong friendships and social skills. Seeing the smiles on their faces and knowing that I have helped make their day enjoyable is meaningful to me. I strive to ensure a safe & happy space where children feel supported, valued, and excited to explore the world around them. In addition to nannying, I have experience working as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA), where I provided compassionate, attentive support to individuals with various needs. I am patient, responsible, nurturing, and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment. Building strong relationships with both children and families is something I value deeply and I take pride in creating a caring and trustworthy atmosphere for everyone I work with.

Aisha is incredibly dependable and trustworthy. I have always been able to count on her to show up on time, follow instructions, take my daughter to school safely as well as pick her up safely. My daughter adores her, and I have complete confidence in her ability to care for her safely.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
