Nardalina 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nardalina, I have a genuine passion for working with children. My journey began in high school when I started babysitting for close friends and family. What began as a side hustle quickly grew into something I truly loved. During my freshman year of college, my mother opened a family daycare, where I worked part-time caring for children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. During this time I achieved my OCFS certification and CPR certification. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience in nurturing, engaging, and supporting children through every stage of early development. I've cherished every moment-from watching little ones hit their milestones to building the kind of bond that lasts long after the day ends. It brings me so much joy to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where kids can thrive. I would love to meet your little ones and make meaningful memories with them!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nardalina care for our three children over the past two years, and she has truly become a part of our family. From the very beginning, Nardalina showed incredible warmth, patience, and a natural ability to connect with each of our kids. She created a loving, safe, and structured environment where our children thrived. Whether it was school runs, preparing meals, helping with homework, or simply playing and engaging with them, she handled every task with professionalism, care, and joy. Nardalina is exceptionally reliable, always punctual, and someone we trusted completely. She communicated clearly with us every day, keeping us informed and always putting the kids' well-being first. Our children absolutely adore her, and we were constantly impressed by how much love and attention she gave them. We are beyond grateful for everything Nardalina has done for our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as their nanny. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hi there! I am a mom to a 3 year old boy looking to help you with your babysitting needs. In terms of experience, I have discovered my love of caring for children with my own son, and I have also previously fostered a dog several years ago. Would be happy to facilitate drop off / pickup from daycare, preschool, or school with your child(ren) safe & secure in my 4-seater, 5-point-harness wonderfold wagon (with rain cover). I hold a BA in English Literature and would also love to read with your child. Happy to cook/clean or do errands if you need.

Devan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Devan, and I am an MFA candidate at Bard College. I have experience with social work, childcare, and retail management. I am a queer trans Latina and the primary caretaker of my seventy-year-old mother. I have three nieces and a nephew and grew up as the designated babysitter in my family. I transitioned in high school in a small town in Tennessee, and feel I can offer creative mentorship, support, and friendship to queer children. As I'm enrolled in a low-residency graduate program, I am unavailable in June and July. Thank you for your consideration!

"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)."
