Booked by 2 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hello! My name is Makayla and I am currently offering my nanny, babysitting, house keeping & other household services! I am passionate about childcare! With experience caring for kiddos between the ages of 3mo-8yrs old. At the age of 17 I was working full time as a nanny! While studying teacher PREP in high school. ( Online school due to lockdown) My responsibilities have included but not limited to- implementing age appropriate educational activities, meal planning and prepping, driving to and from school, establishing and maintaining daily routines and managing household tasks such as laundry, running errands and maintaining the home. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment that encourages curiosity and independence. Whether helping with developmental milestones, organizing engaging activities or partnering with parents to meet each child’s unique needs. I strive to be a helpful extra set of hands to the family I work alongside.

“She was amazing, punctual and my kids love her (which is the real test). Would definitely hire her again”

Zhana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Janna and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient parent offering childcare for toddlers. As a mom of a toddler, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Your child will be cared for alongside my own toddler, giving them the opportunity to socialize, share, and develop important social skills in a family-like setting. I enjoy reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoors, and planning age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play. I believe in gentle, respectful care and understand the importance of maintaining routines, healthy meals, naps, and open communication with parents. I will treat your child with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m committed to creating a warm, trustworthy environment where both children and parents feel happy and confident. I look forward to meeting your family!

Laurel 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hello Parents! *Available for weekend and occasional care in the 2025-26 school year.* My name is Laurel. I really enjoy being a nanny and babysitting. I am very engaging with children and we have tons of fun together. This past year I have been a nanny for an adorable three year old girl in Park Slope. I will be continuing with them in the fall. I will have availability for weekend and occasional care during the upcoming 2025-26 school year. I have experience with a range of ages from toddlers to preteens. I’ve got a great sense of humor and can be playful. I truly enjoy reading stories to kids. My current favorites are the Frog and Toad books. I can help your older child with homework too. I’m very patient, kind, creative and reliable. I have experience with neurodivergent kids, including ADHD and those on the autism spectrum. As a native New Yorker I’m familiar with the public parks, playgrounds, libraries and kid friendly museums. I’m comfortable taking kids on the bus or subway. I’m LGBTQIA+ friendly, CPR/First Aid Certified and Youth Mental Health First Aid trained. I’m a non smoker and Covid vaccinated and boosted. I recently had a MMR booster as well. I’m comfortable around pets and enjoy their company. Reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. I’d be happy to talk with you on a video call about your childcare needs.

“Laurel has been a transformative presence in our children's lives. She began nannying for our family when our now-three y/o entered preschool at two years, nine-months. Laurel has been an outstanding caregiver, helping to guide our three-year-old through significant developmental steps, including but not limited to school day routines (drop-off and pick-up), getting dressed by oneself, potty-training, consistent napping, and the range of big feelings common to preschool-aged children. Laurel is steady, calm, and direct with the children; she affirms their individual agency while setting clear boundaries and expectations for safe and caring behavior. She helps them work towards goals at their own pace and enables their self-sufficiency while also providing lots of thoughtful support. Our other child is eleven years old and Laurel offers age-appropriate space to foster independence in this older sibling. She is creative in the games that she plays with both children and always gets our younger one into the park for some outdoor exploration, rain or shine. In our dealings, she is punctual, unflaggingly reliable, and professional. We cannot recommend Laurel enough!”

"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)."
