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.

Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

I am an experienced caregiver with a calm, warm, and steady presence, and I bring a strong sense of organization and emotional awareness to every family I work with. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and personalities, and I’ve learned how to create routines that feel both structured and comforting. I focus on helping kids feel safe, understood, and confident in their own independence, while keeping the day flowing with ease and intention. My style is gentle but grounded. I stay fully present, I communicate clearly, and I adapt quickly to the rhythm of each household. I love creating moments of connection — reading together, exploring outside, building imaginative play — while also supporting the practical side of daily life. I’m comfortable managing schedules, preparing simple meals, organizing spaces, helping with homework, and keeping the home environment calm and functional. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and emotionally intuitive. I bring a sense of stability, kindness, and maturity that helps children relax and parents feel supported. Whether the day calls for creativity, structure, or quiet reassurance, I show up with consistency, patience, and genuine care. My goal is always to make the home feel lighter, smoother, and filled with a sense of trust.

Gabi is the sweetest, kindest and most patient person ever! My daughter and I absolutely love her. As a single parent, there are not many people who I trust to take care of my daughter, but Gabi is one of the few. She’s caring, responsible, always on time and flexible. 100% recommend her!

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melissa, I'm 31 years old and live in Manhattan near Carnegie Hall. I'm taking a break from corporate life (I'm a business intelligence developer normally) and want to make some cash doing something I love for a little bit while I figure out my next move. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old for neighbors and friends and have continued babysitting ever since. I was a camp counselor for a few years for 3rd graders and have mastered coming up with games on the spot. I also have experience as a full-time nanny as well for a 2 y/o. I've recently been babysitting for some coworkers and parents at my gym! I've worked and love all ages (3m/o-13y/o). About me: I have an 80 pound dog that I adore, I'm currently training for my first half marathon (Brooklyn Half), I love to travel more than anything, and I love to cook and bake when I have free time. Academic background: I have undergraduate and graduate degrees from Virginia Tech in Business. I've worked mainly in the analytics space and love problem solving. I'd be happy to teach your kids how to code if they're interested :) Please reach out with any questions, I'm looking forward to chatting with you!!

"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)."
