Nanipo $28 per hour for 1 child

A little about me... Good morning, my legal name is Nanipo, but you can call me Pépé. I'm 38 years old and from Togo. Since I was 15, I've been babysitting children of all ages, as it's a family job, and we always do it with great care. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including children with special needs. I'm currently looking for a full-time job. If you're looking for an energetic, honest, respectful, fun, and caring nanny, and especially flexible, look no further, because I'm everything you need. I'm the most punctual person in the world. I understand that time is money, so I strive to be punctual and prevent parents from being late to work because of me. You can even rest easy because I'll make sure all your baby's needs are met, and my former boss can attest to that. For me, the most important thing about being a nanny is, above all, ensuring the well-being of each child in my care, helping them with their physical and emotional development. Being part of each child's physical and emotional development is essential to me, as is being part of their families, creating unforgettable memories. Welcoming and giving love to these children, who, even when they're older, will always remember me with great affection and care, just as I remember them. I should also mention that I don't have any vices (I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't use drugs). I have a clean and clear criminal record.

Heather $17 per hour for 1 child

I've been a counselor at Rock Camp's before as well as a music teacher. I've mainly worked with kids ages 5+. I'm an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I grew up with dogs and have taken care of other friends and relatives animals before. My experience with seniors who need additional care is with my own mother who has MS and I grew up with her having disabilities so I'm very knowledgeable with taking care of older seniors. I'm looking for some work right now while I'm in-between jobs. I can help with house care as well. Thank you for your consideration. -Heather

Zoe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Zoe and I am a 23 year old graduate from UC Santa Barbara who recently moved to Brooklyn. I offer childcare (all ages), pet care, tutoring and other household help! I love working with kids because their curiosity and silliness is contagious, especially when I can introduce them to the crafts and games I grew up on! I have been working with kids of all ages (newborn - teens) since 2018. I have 5 years of experience working at a sleep away summer camp as a counselor, arts and crafts specialist and supervisor. I most recently worked as the Supervisor of Children’s Services at a Domestic Violence shelter, where I managed a daycare and afterschool programs for 80+ kids. I love playing games, leading arts and crafts, helping with homework and taking kids outside! Additionally, I can cook, clean, take care of pets, or help with whatever else you may need! I am CPR trained and am a Wilderness First Responder, which prepares me to respond to emergency situations. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would love to help in anyway I can!

Brittny $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m the oldest of 4 and I grew up taking care of my younger siblings when my parents had to work. I’m very hands-on and very attentive. I’m clear with my communication, I love to engage while being warm and nurturing. I’ve also worked with the elderly for 2 years and those come hand in hand. I’ve learn to be patience while creating consistency and structure but I pride myself on having the willingness to learn and improve on things I might not know.

"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)."
