Marinez 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Marinez, I'm 28 years old, and I'm currently looking for a nanny position. I have over 5 years of experience working with children and infants. For the past 2 years, I worked full-time with one family caring for four children. When I started, the girls were 2 and 4 years old, and the boys were 8 and 9. It was an incredible experience filled with learning, affection, and growth, and now I feel ready to take the next step in my career. I have experience with infant care, including feeding, bottle preparation, sleep routines, and supporting developmental milestones. I am also comfortable with preschool drop-offs and pick-ups, planning activities, and navigating the city safely with children. I truly enjoy engaging kids in outdoor play, creative activities, and maintaining a consistent, healthy routine. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, a strong driver, and a non-smoker. I’m also very comfortable around dogs. I would describe myself as reliable, patient, proactive, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Warmly, Marinez

She is a wonderful nanny—reliable, caring, patient, and great with children. She is very responsible and professional, and I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy to care for their kids.

Lucy 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Lucy Babat! I am 22 and a recent Colgate University graduate heading to NYU this fall for a Master's in Social Work. I'm originally from Nashville, TN, where I spent several years nannying and developed a real love for working with young kids, especially infants and toddlers. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the day-to-day of caring for little ones. I like keeping kids engaged with screen free play, hands-on activities, cooking simple meals and snacks, and helping older siblings with homework when needed. I am well versed with infants and am more than comfortable curating age appropriate activities (tummy time, swaddling, soothing, etc). I have also taken many childhood development courses through my psychology major at Colgate. I'm available for the summer and would love to find a great family to spend it with. Please feel free to reach out!

During her time with us, Lucy was responsible for caring for our young children, meal prep, light housework, and accompanying us on activities. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and attuned to our children’s needs. Her abilities to remain positive and calm, while keeping kids engaged and creating a nurturing environment consistently fostered a sense of security, joy, and trust. Our family absolutely adores her, and we always felt confident they were safe and well cared for. She became an important member of our family, and we continue to remain close. I would not hesitate to hire her again and whole heartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny!

Anna $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna — I’m 23, originally from Ireland, and currently based in New York. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages and I genuinely love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment for them. I’m very hands-on and enjoy planning age-appropriate activities like arts & crafts, drawing, puzzles, board games, reading, and outdoor play. I’m responsible, punctual, and very comfortable following routines, bedtime schedules, and house rules. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Management, and through my work experience I’ve developed strong communication skills, reliability, and a high level of professionalism — all things I bring into childcare as well. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, trustworthy, and attentive. I’m happy to help with light tidying related to the kids, meal prep, homework support, or pet care if needed. I’m currently available for occasional, part-time, or full-time roles and would love to connect with a family looking for someone dependable and kind.

Dzhanyl 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have 13 years of experience as a caregiver for children and elders. I can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. I am also open to evening and overnight elder care.

Dzhanyl has been a wonderful nanny for our family for four years. She is extremely reliable, flexible, caring, and has 13 years of experience working as a nanny. I am looking for work in a different capacity: she would like to help families who need evening, overnight, and/or weekend care. She can be available in the evenings to help with meals, bath, bedtime and/or overnight care for babies. She is also open to evening and overnight elder care, though we haven't employed her in that capacity. Dzhanyl began working with our family when our daughter was one year old in a part time capacity, and as our family has expanded to three kids (now 5, 3, and 1), so have her hours and responsibilities. In her current capacity, she primarily cares for our 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and occasionally for our 5-year-old. She is always eager to bring the kids outdoors to the park and playground, even if it’s rainy, snowy, or cold. She always shows up early for work, and has been very flexible to shift her schedule by the week to accommodate our calendars. She also helps with naptime, mealtime, pick ups and drop offs, and light housework. Additionally, she primarily speaks Russian to our children, but is comfortable speaking English if that’s preferred. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - happy to provide more on our experience.

"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)."
