“We feel incredibly lucky to have had Irena work with our family. She has been a steady, caring, and deeply reliable presence in our home, helping care for our two daughters with a level of attentiveness and warmth that immediately put us at ease. She has a natural ability to connect with kids and our girls love her. She strikes that rare balance of being both nurturing and structured—our girls genuinely enjoy spending time with her. Whether it’s managing after-school routines, helping with meals, or keeping things running smoothly during busy weeks, she brings a calm, capable energy that makes a real difference. She is also extremely dependable and communicative. We’ve always been able to trust her to show up, follow through, and handle whatever comes up with good judgment and care. That kind of reliability is invaluable, especially for a working family. She’s thoughtful, kind, and takes real pride in what she does—and it shows.”

Hey everybody! Im Rose! Recently just moved back to New York after having lived in Chicago. I'm currently studying for my masters in social work at Hunter. I have had around 7 years of experience babysitting, and I also have a two year old niece who I've taken care of a lot. I have also spent two years working as a paraprofessional in a high school and then a third grade classroom, working with students with disabilities. I provided behavioral, academic and emotional support to my students and also assisted with classroom management. I have had experience with children from all different ages and backgrounds, and I approach each child as an individual and cater to them in whichever unique way is beneficial to them. I love working with children and embracing their curiosity and individuality. I’m playful, patient, and passionate about creating a nurturing environment that supports children’s development, wellbeing, and confidence. I speak some Spanish as well, because I took a gap year traveling in Latin America. I'd love to meet you, and get to know your children! :)

Hi! My name is Nora. I am looking for occasional night and weekend jobs. I graduated from University of Texas Law School and am currently working as a public interest lawyer in Manhattan. I have experience working with kids as a teacher and nanny. During law school, I was a nanny for a family with a 1 year old and a 3 year old.

I can help kids with school work as well as plan fun outdoor activities!

"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)."
