She was always smiling and full of joy, creating a warm and happy environment. Every day, she organized a thoughtful program of activities, keeping the kids engaged, active, and happy.

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

Hi my name is Nygeeba but everyone calls me Nygee for short. I'm a loving and dependable babysitter/nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. I truly enjoy helping little ones feel safe, happy, and comfortable while having fun along the way. I'm playful, patient, and nurturing, but also great with routines like feedings, naps, and bedtime. Parents appreciate that I'm calm, reliable, and able to keep days structured while still making them fun. I focus on age-appropriate play, Montessori activities and sensory play, gentle care, and creating a warm environment where kids can just be kids. My number one rule is Trust, trust that your baby is in the best hands with the best nanny you could have ever picked and Trust that I will overachieve any expectations you have set out for me to accomplish. I have a flexible open schedule and take pride in being someone families can depend on. I'd love to be a helpful, caring addition to your family!

"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."

"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)."
