Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Victoria and I am a born and raised New Yorker from the Upper East Side. What I think is most unique about my experience with childcare in the city is that I was also raised in the city so I know what the experience and context of everything is like. I have been a nanny for 3 1/2 years and it is my passion to work with children. I have worked consistently with 5 families on the UES (my own business)that are willing to give exceptional references on my behalf. I also have worked with two families in the Hamptons The families I work for have children aged from 7 months- 8 years of age. Because I plan on becoming a behavioral therapist for autistic children, I incorporate a variety of activities fun and educational into my nannying. I am not only caring and creating a safe environment for your children, but teaching them important skills to learn and grow. I am very organized and will always have activities for your children!I am very energetic and attentive and have a very close relationship with all the families I work with. If you are looking for someone who plays attentively, encourages learning growth skills, puts children’s safety first, adapts to family dynamic quickly and is more than familiar with the neighborhood I am the person for you :) I am very flexible right now I just returned from the Hamptons and am looking for a consistent part-time or full-time job.

Hazel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a young artist that would love to help a family looking for part-time childcare. I am qualified due to years of babysitting local kids within my small hometown on the coast of California, as well as my two completed CTE (Career Technical Education) courses in Psychology and Psychological Development of Children. Completing these courses took 4 years total and I spent my senior year being Teachers Assistant and Art Teacher for students aged 6-11. I am quite young so I am able to connect with kids very easily and I genuinely enjoy their company. In terms of safety I am very reliable. I'm very and physically aware due to my High School years as an all-state wrestler. I continue to practice martial arts regularly, so if necessary I know how to protect anyone who needs help. I can keep up with kids energy levels and physical fitness. I am great with school assistance in all subjects and can navigate electronics with ease. As a caretaker, my goal is to find creative ways to help kids explore knowledge and the world around us.

"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."

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)."
