Aliya $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! My name is Aliya — I recently left my job and am looking to take a break from the corporate world. I’m 27 and spent my summers throughout high school and college nannying for several families, caring for children ranging from 8 months to 10 years old. I also worked as a camp counselor for several years with kids in grades K–12. Most recently, I nannied as needed for a family throughout last year here in NYC. I’m warm, responsible, friendly, and genuinely love working with kids. Happy to pass along references if helpful. Looking forward to connecting!

Laylah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Laylah , and I’m a nursing student at CSI. I’m a dependable, nurturing caregiver offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household help. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, with experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids—including siblings and neurodivergent children. I love creating fun, engaging activities like crafts, story time, and outdoor play, and I’m happy to help with homework, school pickups, and bedtime routines. As a nursing student, I’m trained in safety, health awareness, and CPR, and I’ve cared for elderly family members—helping with meals, appointments, mobility, and companionship. I’m comfortable with dogs and can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things running smoothly at home.

Gianna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hello! I’ve been caring for kids since I was a teenager and have over 5 years of professional experience working with children ages 5–12, as well as toddlers. I currently work as a paraprofessional, supporting kids of all abilities, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, keeping routines structured, and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m patient, calm, and adaptable, and I really focus on making kids feel understood, supported, and confident. I also have experience helping with homework, daily routines, playtime, and light household tasks. I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I genuinely love working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families :)

I needed help watching my little brothers (5yr and 3yr old) last minute and Gianna saved the day! If you’re looking for someone who is patient and attentive to your kids needs Gianna is the one. My brothers are still asking about her and when she’s coming back! Would and will hire again.

"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)."
