Rachel New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm a passionate and experienced nanny with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the College of Charleston. I have a love for art, yoga, botany, and education, and enjoy using these interests to engage children in fun and educational activities. I worked previously as a primary nanny for three beautiful children (ages 5, 3, and 8 months), I have experience taking kids on play dates, teaching arts and crafts, and even going swimming. I'm happy to help with meal prep, errands, and other tasks to make your life easier. Safety is my top priority, and I always ensure that children under my care are well taken care of. I have great communication skills and am able to work well with parents to meet their expectations. Additionally, I have a solid understanding of child development and provide age-appropriate activities and care. If you're looking for a nanny who is enthusiastic, creative, and reliable, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm excited to meet your family and provide excellent care for your children!

Jayson New York
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Jayson, a young actor/artist from Baltimore, Maryland. New to Harlem, but I’ve spent some great times in NYC throughout my life. I moved here because I know that I am capable of thriving in a busy environment. In my youth, one of my passions was volunteering for, and eventually being a full time counselor with Bridges Baltimore. Bridges is an initiative to provide kids from Baltimore public schools with key learning and mentorship opportunities. During my experience I mainly worked with mainly middle school students, but I also helped programming for kids in 4th and 5th grade as well. I recently worked as a HHA for a senior citizen in Philadelphia as well. I am confident in my ability as a former psychology student and a current actor to be adaptable to any situation that your family presents!

Lashell New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lashell, but most people call me Shelly. I’ve been working with children for the past five years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience I’ve learned just as much from them as they’ve learned from me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and crocheting, which help me relax and express my creativity. I’m currently a college student studying biology, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my care, patience, and enthusiasm to your family as a nanny or sitter

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
