Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

I am an experienced caregiver with a calm, warm, and steady presence, and I bring a strong sense of organization and emotional awareness to every family I work with. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and personalities, and I’ve learned how to create routines that feel both structured and comforting. I focus on helping kids feel safe, understood, and confident in their own independence, while keeping the day flowing with ease and intention. My style is gentle but grounded. I stay fully present, I communicate clearly, and I adapt quickly to the rhythm of each household. I love creating moments of connection — reading together, exploring outside, building imaginative play — while also supporting the practical side of daily life. I’m comfortable managing schedules, preparing simple meals, organizing spaces, helping with homework, and keeping the home environment calm and functional. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and emotionally intuitive. I bring a sense of stability, kindness, and maturity that helps children relax and parents feel supported. Whether the day calls for creativity, structure, or quiet reassurance, I show up with consistency, patience, and genuine care. My goal is always to make the home feel lighter, smoother, and filled with a sense of trust.

Gabi is the sweetest, kindest and most patient person ever! My daughter and I absolutely love her. As a single parent, there are not many people who I trust to take care of my daughter, but Gabi is one of the few. She’s caring, responsible, always on time and flexible. 100% recommend her!

Hello NYC Families! I’m a graduating nursing student currently looking for work as I prepare for my licensing exam. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter in Brooklyn for the past five years, and have over ten years of experience working in childcare and youth services. Before diving into nursing, I earned my first bachelor’s degree in sociology and dance, which gives me a unique, interdisciplinary perspective that I love to bring into my work. I’m passionate about education, dance, and play, and I’m excited about the possibility of connecting with your family! A little about me: - I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, where I spent most of my free time dancing or exploring the outdoors. - I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from 18 months to 18 years, including those with a wide range of abilities and behaviors. - I’ve created and led hands-on learning programs in everything from outdoor education and arts & crafts to cooking and dance/movement. - I spent three summers touring with Circus Smirkus, where I supported a troupe of 30 teen performers—an experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, responsibility, and the joy of creative expression. - I have a valid driver’s license and have driven to all my babysitting jobs around the city. - I’m CPR/BLS certified and trained in first aid, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m not working, you’ll find me dancing, biking, rock climbing, enjoying ocean sports, or making handmade cards for friends and family. I’d love to share my passions and experiences with your family, and I’d be honored to help out in any way I can. I truly believe in building open, honest relationships with families and kids, and I’m always eager to learn about each child’s unique personality and interests. Looking forward to connecting!

Joelle $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Joelle Guy. I’m 28 years old and a graduate of FIT in NYC, where I studied fashion and interior design. Alongside my creative freelance work, I’ve been nannying and providing childcare support for the past three years. I’m a very creative, nurturing, and energetic person who loves building meaningful connections with the families I work with. Outside of work, I love gardening and have my own urban garden, and I’m passionate about music, painting, arts and crafts, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I enjoy bringing those interests into my caregiving style to create fun, enriching, and engaging experiences for children. I offer childcare, babysitting, household support, senior support and dog-sitting/ house-sitting support. Child Care I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school aged children. I currently freelance nanny and babysit for multiple families in Brooklyn, including caring for a 1 year old girl, as well as a 6 year old girl and 4 year old boy. From May 2023 through October 2024, I worked as a part time nanny for a family with a 3 year old girl in Brooklyn Heights and Westchester. I love creating fun, creative, and educational activities for children. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, painting and creative projects, baking and cooking together, outdoor adventures and nature walks, visiting gardens and identifying plants, reading and imaginative play, sports and active play, and music and singing. I’m very creative and artistic, with experience in painting, design, music, and cooking. I love creative learning, meal preparation, and teaching children through hands on activities. I also play basketball, practice yoga, and enjoy encouraging healthy and active lifestyles. I have several years of hands on childcare experience working closely with families in NYC. You can also add CPR or First Aid certifications here if applicable. Senior Care: While most of my professional experience has been focused on childcare and household support, I’m a compassionate, patient, and attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others feel comfortable and supported. Pet Care: I have a 4 year old Mini Dachshund, so I am very familiar with the effort and care that goes into taking care of a beloved pet. They really are members of the family and should be treated as such.

"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)."
