Yanique $25 per hour for 1 child

I have 10 years of experience supporting families across New York as a nanny, personal assistant and house manager. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth and creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where they can thrive. I’m experienced in building consistent routines, preparing healthy meals, organizing creative activities and supporting children with schoolwork and daily development. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable managing the day-to-day needs of a busy household whether that’s coordinating schedules, running errands or keeping things organized to help life run smoothly. Outside of childcare, I work as a photographer. I’m looking for a consistent position that fits well with my schedule. I currently work with one other family part-time and my availability remains flexible.

Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

Hello, My name is Ms.K , and I’m a dedicated, caring, and reliable nanny with 7 years of experience supporting families and nurturing children from infancy through school age. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can grow, learn, and explore their interests. I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. My approach balances warmth and playfulness with clear communication and consistency. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or maintaining routines, I always strive to make each day positive and enriching. I’m certified in CPR/First Aid and have experience with infants/toddlers/school-age K-12. I align my developmental milestones for the children with the CDC. I am experienced in feeding, change, tidying, burping , helping with the sleep schedule, reading to them, speaking to them about colors and shapes, helping them to crawl by giving them toys to reach towards to stimulate their development. I have also spent several years in the classroom setting as an assistant program manager for after school scholars. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and proactive — someone who truly becomes part of the family. I look forward to bringing my skills, energy, and genuine love for children to a welcoming household. I look forward to connecting with you!

Keionyi has been a nanny for our three boys on and off over the past three years, and she’s been such a huge help to our family. She’s great with the kids — always patient, dependable, and fun to be around. She helps with light cleaning, the boys’ laundry, meal prep, and school drop-offs and pick-ups. She’s also really good at keeping them busy with activities they actually enjoy. We’ve been so lucky to have her, and I’d highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is caring and reliable.

Shanell $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Shanell, and I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic sitter with over 4 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with kids in both personal and professional settings. I’ve cared for my younger cousins and other children, which helped me naturally build patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Professionally, I spent 3 years working as an afterschool teacher and summer camp counselor, where I supervised groups of children, planned fun and engaging activities, and made sure every child felt safe and included. I also worked for 1 year as a teacher’s aide, supporting classroom instruction and helping students from kindergarten through middle school with their learning and daily routines. I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a positive, fun, and structured environment for them. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, I always bring a responsible and attentive approach. I look forward to connecting with families and providing trustworthy loving care for your children

Zaimyra $20 per hour for 1 child

Haii! I’m an incoming Pace University (NYC Campus) student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience babysitting kids from 3months to 11 years old, tutoring after school. And I’m ALSO CPR certified. A day babysitting with me : I like to keep things fun while still following the family’s routine. We might start with a snack and some homework, then switch it up with arts and crafts, games, a movie, playing outside, or exploring something new( definitely excited about this). I’m big on letting kids have fun while still making sure they feel comfortable, heard, and safe. Before the parents come home, I’ll make sure everything is cleaned up and the kids are settled into whatever routine they normally have. I like to actively keep the kids busy and myself, so their interests are very important to me. Parents are updated every few hours and occasional check in when it’s my day off. Having open communication is my biggest priority. I’d describe myself as kind, outgoing, easy to talk to for the most part lol and someone who always tries to bring positive energy wherever I go. I’ve always believed the best jobs are the ones where people are genuinely happy to see you walk through the door. I want to be the sitter kids get excited about and the person parents can trust without worrying. As I’ll be moving away from my own family to start college, I know how important it is to have people around you who make you feel safe, supported, and cared for. I hope I can be that person for the families I experience New York with while building a foundation for connections. I’m currently available for after-school care, date nights, and completely available on the weekends!!! I can adjust as needed and do very early mornings but it’ll be tedious. Face time call or in person meet before official start day!!! Feel free to reach out and ask me questions and for references.

"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)."
