“Having Dani watch Lilah was an absolute joy. My daughter adored her. I'm a single mom with a 10 year old who has to hustle in LA so I really needed an attentive and loving sitter and Dani answered that call. Was great at communication, very warm, patient, and attentive to my little girl. There was even an occasion that a shoot ran late and I had to have Dani stay after hours and she was so understanding and accommodating. A literal lifesaver. I can tell she loves what she does. I really think Lilah built such an attachment to her!”

Fiorella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fiore, I’m 26 years old, and I’m originally from Argentina. I’ve been living in New York City for almost two years, and I’m passionate about working with children and supporting their growth and development. I’m a qualified English teacher with six years of teaching experience in Argentina, working with children in kindergarten, elementary school, and high school. I also have over seven years of childcare experience, caring for children aged two and older. I worked as an au pair in New York, where I’ve been caring for three wonderful children, ages 3, 5, and 7, for the past year and eight months. I would describe myself as responsible, punctual, organized, patient, and optimistic. I always strive to give my best professionally and create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn. I truly enjoy spending time with children, planning fun and educational activities, encouraging their creativity, and helping them develop independence and confidence.

Hi there! I am a recent college grad and born and raised New Yorker who is studying for the LSAT and thought why not continue doing what I love as well; working with children! I have 4 years of prior babysitting experience in New York City and was a head camp counselor in The Hamptons for 4 years as well. I am CPR certified and am skilled in emergency response. I also have a car! I think babysitters and caregivers can leave lifelong impressions on children and I hope to be someone that your child remembers as fun, inspiring, playful and caring! I have flexible hours and would love to be someone you consider first as extra help for 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."

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)."
