Andrea $30 per hour for 1 child

With nine years of professional childcare experience and my Newborn Care Specialist certification, I bring both hands-on experience and specialized newborn training to the families I support. Caring for children has been my passion since I began working part-time in a daycare during high school, and that passion has grown into a fulfilling career as a dedicated nanny and infant care professional. I have experience working with children from newborn through school-age in daycare, YMCA, and private in-home settings. However, supporting families during the newborn and infant stage is especially meaningful to me. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, I am trained in newborn development, sleep conditioning, feeding support (breast and bottle), establishing healthy routines, soothing techniques, and maintaining a safe sleep environment. I understand how important those early weeks and months are, and I strive to provide calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing support to both baby and parents. In my nanny roles, I take on all childcare-related responsibilities including bottle prep, diapering, sleep scheduling, developmental play, tummy time, milestone tracking, baby laundry, sanitizing, and maintaining a structured yet loving environment. As children grow, I incorporate educational activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, and transportation to scheduled activities. My goal is always to encourage imagination and development while helping children confidently reach their milestones. Beyond experience and credentials, I value forming strong, respectful bonds with families. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and flexible available for travel, overnights, late stays, and date nights. I have my own vehicle, can provide a car seat if needed, and I am fully vaccinated and American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I understand that choosing someone to care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. I am committed to listening carefully to your concerns, respecting your parenting style, and ensuring your child feels safe, supported, and loved every day in my care. I would be honored to support your family during this special season of growth and development.

Mary Ellis $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old recent NYU grad school graduate, originally from Alabama and a proud SMU alum. I just completed my Masters in Accounting and am pursuing a CPA license. I’m outgoing, friendly, and dependable, with a strong work ethic and a natural ability to connect with kids. I’ve been babysitting throughout my life and have experience with children of all ages! I love staying active and engaged— whether that’s going on walks, playing tennis, or doing Pilates—and I bring that same energy when caring for kids. I’m patient, organized, attentive, and always focused on creating a fun and safe environment. I’m currently based in NYC and have a full-time role starting in October, so I’m looking to support a family in the meantime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to help both in and outside the home.

"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)."
