Glendys $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Glendys — I’m a first-year college student majoring in Nursing and Health Science. I’m passionate about working with kids and have always loved the energy and creativity they bring. Babysitting gives me the chance to connect with families, build relationships, and make each day fun and positive for the kids I care for. I’ve worked as a camp counselor for two years with children ages 4–12, and I also help care for my 5-year-old autistic sister, which has taught me patience, understanding, and adaptability. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and always make safety my top priority. I’d describe myself as fun, creative, and attentive — I love coming up with new activities, doing crafts, baking, and spending time outdoors. I know my way around the city, can drive (though I haven’t driven with kids yet), and I always aim to keep things organized and running smoothly. I’m currently based in NYC and looking forward to meeting new families in the area. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me — I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones!

Tywreana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Tywreana (ty-re-ana), a patient and hands-on nanny who specializes in keeping kids calm, engaged, and genuinely happy whether that’s through creative play, routines, or one-on-one attention. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely happy. I’m not just there to supervise, I build real connections with the kids I care for so they feel secure and enjoy their time with me. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience in both daycare and private nannying, caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I love doing hands-on activities like painting, baking simple treats, and creating fun sensory play setups for younger kids. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child, and I make it a priority to communicate clearly and create a safe, comfortable environment every day. Parents can expect someone who is: • Dependable and on time • Attentive and patient • Communicative and respectful of your household • Focused on your child’s safety and well-being My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your child feels safe, cared for, and happy.

DaNyla $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

Hello, my name is DaNyla, and I am genuinely passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I am a warm, cheerful, and caring individual who values creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child in my care. I enjoy introducing new activities, encouraging creativity, and ensuring that children feel both supported and entertained throughout the day. I bring three years of hands-on experience working with children between the ages of 3 and 11. During this time, I have worked in two preschools as well as two middle schools, which has allowed me to gain a strong understanding of different developmental needs, learning styles, and behavioral approaches. My background has helped me develop patience, clear communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s personality. I also have personal experience caring for infants. My sister has a young child, and I frequently help her with babysitting. This has made me very comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and general infant care. Along with childcare, I am able to assist with light household responsibilities, including tidying up, laundry, and preparing simple meals. I believe in maintaining an organized, clean environment and supporting families in any way that keeps their day running smoothly. I am dedicated, dependable, and enthusiastic about providing quality care. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and positive energy to your home while ensuring your children feel safe, valued, and happy.

"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)."
