Booked by 4 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi, I’m Alisha! I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced professional nanny with 8 years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age throughout NYC and the Tri-State area. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including siblings and multiple children at different developmental stages. I genuinely enjoy being hands-on and creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. My experience includes newborn and infant care, bottle-feeding, introducing solids, nap and sleep routines, developmental play, sensory activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and school and activity transportation. I enjoy creating age-appropriate daily routines that balance learning, play, rest, and opportunities for children to explore their interests. I’m also happy to assist with child-related laundry, meal preparation, tidying, errands, and other household tasks that help a family’s day run smoothly. Alongside my hands-on experience, I’ve completed coursework through my Child Development Associate (CDA) and Early Childhood Education journey, strengthening my understanding of child development and developmental milestones. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified. As a nanny, I’m patient, communicative, proactive, and adaptable. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I value open communication with parents and believe strong nanny-family relationships are built on trust, respect, consistency, and teamwork. I’m comfortable working independently or alongside work-from-home parents, and I enjoy becoming a trusted, valued part of a family’s support system. Whether we’re enjoying a quiet day at home, exploring the neighborhood, visiting a park or library, or trying a new activity, my goal is to make each day meaningful, engaging, and appropriate for the child’s age and development. I would love to connect with a family seeking a caring, experienced nanny who will genuinely invest in their children’s well-being, celebrate their milestones, and provide dependable, thoughtful support as they grow.

I'm a creative new york native nanny. I have been a career nanny for the last 9 years and has cared for children ages newborn to eight including a set of twin girls!

Hello!! My name is Kelis and I’m an active 20-year-old! I’m currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as an after-school counselor, where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now, and it has trained me to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and enjoy seeing children have fun and make new memories. I’m currently in college studying sociology with hopes of becoming a social worker in the child care sector. I’m looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and, of course, have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museums would have to be the Museum of Ice Cream and the American Museum of Natural History. I’m currently saving to one day visit Japan, it’s the #1 thing on my bucket list! Outside of childcare, I’m also a signed model! While modeling has been an exciting experience and creative outlet for me, working with children has always been my true passion and the career path I’m most dedicated to pursuing. I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with families while gaining even more experience doing what I love most!

Hi there! My name is Brenna, I am 29 years old and have worked in child care on and off since I was 13. I have recent infant and special needs experience. In the past, I worked for various after school programs, and in school support positions. I have experience with children of all ages and abilities, including kids with sensory issues and behavioral challenges. I specifically thrive working with children on the autism spectrum as well as adhd. On a more personal note: I love arts and crafts and spending time outdoors! Getting to know the kids I work with and helping them explore their interests and hobbies is so important to me. I strongly believe in providing a safe space for children in my care. I do this by bringing a high level of patience and humor to my jobs. I have not encountered a challenging behavior I couldn’t handle or a child I couldn’t make smile. Because of my work in schools and after schools, I have taking many early childhood development and safety trainings, as well as CPR and first aid training which I try and keep up to date. I have a background check and multiple references as I understand the importance of children's safety, I look forward to hearing from you!

“Very good with the baby. Patient and calm. Also reads so many books to him ”

"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)."
