Booked by 16 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hey Parents! My name is Arianny, I am 23 years old, born and raised in Brooklyn with strong Dominican roots. As the oldest of six siblings, caregiving became a natural responsibility early in my life and sparked my passion for working with children. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, leadership, and the importance of creating supportive, joyful spaces for young children to thrive. In my free time, I enjoy baking, a hobby that allows me to be creative and often becomes a fun, hands-on activity to share with kids. I am an accomplished childcare professional with over five years of comprehensive experience supporting the developmental, academic, and social-emotional needs of children ranging from infancy through school age. Currently, I serve as a paraprofessional and hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development — a discipline that underscores my enduring commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and curiosity in young learners. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I bring the added value of bilingual communication, enabling me to facilitate meaningful connections across diverse families and to integrate language enrichment into everyday learning experiences. My approach to childcare is guided by patience, intentionality, and a thorough understanding of developmental milestones. I am adept at cultivating safe, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating environments tailored to each child’s individual temperament and strengths. I am available for full time work, occasional babysitting, overnight assistance, as well as open weekend availability. Above all, I am committed to establishing collaborative, trusting partnerships with families to ensure that every child receives thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, and high-quality care. I welcome the opportunity to connect and to discuss how my expertise can best serve your family’s needs.

Arianny is very kind and sweet, definately recommend her!

Booked by 7 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hi parents! My name is Brooke and I currently work in a daycare, specializing in infant and early-toddler care. I have hands-on experience caring for babies in a structured, professional childcare environment — including feeding, diapering, bottle prep, safe sleep, tummy time, developmental play, and creating a calm, nurturing routine. I’m trained to follow proper childcare standards, safety guidelines, and communication practices. I’ve worked with infants ranging from newborns to 18 months and I’m very confident with soothing techniques, sensory activities, and understanding developmental milestones.

Brooke was lovely to coordinate with for a last minute sit. She arrived on time, and immediately jumped into playing with my son. I lingered (first time with an evening sitter), she dis not mind. I left, she handled bedtime, when my son awoke he was devastated to find me home instead of his “new friend Brooke”. In literal tears. I was not offended, only pleased that her short first time playdate had left such a lasting impression. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Booked by 1 family in Rockaway Park, NY

Hello! My name is Davidsa. I’m a caring, responsible, and organized person who enjoys helping families with child care, pet care, and household needs. I have several years of experience working with children, managing homes, and caring for pets of all kinds. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and well-organized environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported. I offer a combination of child care, pet care, and household services, depending on your family’s needs. I can provide flexible scheduling for regular help or occasional assistance. I love reading stories, doing crafts, playing board games, outdoor activities like going to the park or beach, cooking simple recipes together, and helping with creative or learning projects. I can help with tutoring and homework, especially in reading, writing, and science. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals and snacks for kids. I love creative activities such as painting, dancing, and storytelling, which make playtime both fun and educational. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I also have a strong understanding of child safety and development.

Davidsa was truly an incredible nanny to our daughter and became such an important part of our family. She is loving, reliable, patient, responsible, and genuinely treats the children she cares for as her own. She was always taking our daughter on adventures, finding activities for them to do, and helping her learn and explore the world around her. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, incredibly intelligent and capable, and one of those rare caregivers who never needs to be micromanaged. She just knows what needs to be done and does it. I trusted her completely with my daughter, which is the highest compliment I could possibly give someone. We only had to part ways because our family moved out of state, and saying goodbye to her was genuinely one of the hardest parts of leaving New York. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Davidsa caring for their children. We love her and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Hello! My name is Tesla. I am 29 years old and have worked in childcare on and off for the last 9 years. During those years I have amassed a diverse array of childcare experience in Utah, California, Hawaii, and New York. I have assisted families with relaxed lifestyles who just need an extra hand, as well as families who require lots of extra assistance and operate with fast-paced schedules in large cities. The bonds I have forged working in childcare have changed my life. I would love to help you and your family!

"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)."
