Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria and I am a born and raised New Yorker from the Upper East Side. What I think is most unique about my experience with childcare in the city is that I was also raised in the city so I know what the experience and context of everything is like. I have been a nanny for 3 1/2 years and it is my passion to work with children. I have worked consistently with 5 families on the UES (my own business)that are willing to give exceptional references on my behalf. I also have worked with two families in the Hamptons The families I work for have children aged from 7 months- 8 years of age. Because I plan on becoming a behavioral therapist for autistic children, I incorporate a variety of activities fun and educational into my nannying. I am not only caring and creating a safe environment for your children, but teaching them important skills to learn and grow. I am very organized and will always have activities for your children!I am very energetic and attentive and have a very close relationship with all the families I work with. If you are looking for someone who plays attentively, encourages learning growth skills, puts children’s safety first, adapts to family dynamic quickly and is more than familiar with the neighborhood I am the person for you :) I am very flexible right now I just returned from the Hamptons and am looking for a consistent part-time or full-time job.

Jeannie $75 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jeannie and I’m a writing coach. I am a proud native New Yorker who went through the NYC school system myself and I deeply understand the transformative power of academic mentorship. My tutoring journey began in 2020, when I started helping elementary school students navigate math during the pandemic. I later worked as an academic writing specialist at Columbia University to help first-year master’s students refine their writing. My background in journalism fuels my approach to tutoring. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and build genuine connections with my students. I am highly committed to each student’s progress, customizing my teaching to fit their individual learning goals.

"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)."
