Morgan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I would first like to thank you for acknowledging my profile as well as taking time out your day to give me a chance for this opportunity. If you are looking for a reliable, hardworking and experienced nanny you have stopped at the right person. I am very intelligent, sweet, caring and enjoy playing the violin most of the day. Not only do I have years of experience, I have the strength and patience to keep up with more than three children. Most of the families I worked with usually consist of two or more. Once you have mastered different strategies on how to care for a child, it becomes very easy to meet their needs without them having to tell you. You began to know exactly when to feed, change and even how to console them when sick. Just like us adults, children have feelings and may wake up having a bad day so I believe it is very important to be supportive, listen and learn to be that shoulder to lean on without yelling or getting frustrating at them. I absolutely love working with all my families. Me being compassionate for others helps me to bond with not only the children but the families as well. I have tag teamed with grandparents, play dates with other parents as well as family friends. This job has been an amazing experience still after so many years.

Maya $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maya, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I was born in New York, grew up in California, and have been back in New York for the past seven years. I started babysitting in college and quickly realized how much I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I come from a big family, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience with little ones—including my 3-year-old brother and many younger cousins that I’ve proudly helped care for over the years. I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, and I always treat children with the same care and attention I would want for my own family. I’m a non-smoker, enjoy spending time outside, and love getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or simply being a kind and reliable presence, I take pride in making every day positive for both kids and parents. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position and would be excited to become a trusted part of your family’s support system!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in New York, NY

Hi! I’m Josee—a caring, dependable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children from newborns to school-age, including those with special needs. I’ve worked as a daycare assistant, preschool assistant, tutor, camp counselor, and elementary special education teacher, so I’m comfortable balancing both fun and structure. I’m especially confident with infant care, routines (feeding, naps, bedtime), and creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I communicate clearly so parents always feel at ease. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like meal prep, tidying, and errands to support your family’s routine. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

"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)."
