I like participating in outdoor activities and taking long walks at the park. I love the site of a child smiling. I have experience with children from the age of 3 weeks and above. I'm able to multitask and have no problem feeding, bathing, changing, and going to doctor's appointments. In addition to that I'm able to deal with fevers and caring for an ill child. My experience with children at a very young age. I've worked in a day care and have been able to gain so much patience and understanding of a child's needs and dealing with a noisy environment and the ability to settle things ****policies***** Any cancellations less then 48 hours will be charged a 75% off of the hours booked, including if the job has already started I book my schedule 2-3 weeks in advance And I expect to be paid for the entire booking

Booked by 54 families in Rockaway Park, NY

Hello, parents! My name is Sara. I am a nanny and early childhood educator with 20 years of experience in childcare, the past 16 years working as a full-time nanny for private families in NYC. I have worked with ages 2 months through 15 years and have significant experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and multiples including twins. I recently finished a 10-year long full-time, full charge nanny position with a wonderful family on the UWS. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting, backup care, and part-time nanny care. I’m located near Prospect Park in Brooklyn and able to travel anywhere in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens. Prior to becoming a career nanny, I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music with an emphasis on early childhood development and child psychology. While working towards my degree, I taught in the two year old and three year old programs in a local preschool, and served as the music director at a Boston Gymboree. I am a huge believer in child-led play, respectful discipline, and nurturing children’s curiosity and imagination. If you have any questions, please feel free to message!

“Sara made us feel instantly comfortable leaving our baby daughter with a sitter for the first time. She was demonstrably experienced in how to handle a baby wary of strangers and could easily adapt to our family’s routine. She was easy to communicate with and we would be immediately ready to hire her again in the future.”

Hi my name is Veronica, I am a certified nanny/baby nurse and also CPR certified.I am looking for part time or full time employment. I have been working with children for 18years and given I have two of my own one over the age of 20. I love kids regardless of age and tend to have their best interest at heart. I have been told by multiple kids that I am more like a mommy when their mother is not around and that warm my heart and proves to me that I am doing what’s right.I am most definitely an outdoorsy person who believe in kids exploring and having fun, furthermore I also enjoy getting on the floor with them engaging in any kind of indoor games being arts and craft, block stacking, reading, ect. I speak basic french and is willing to teach you little ones a second language if you so desire. In my spare time I love decorating,cooking, looking to learn new things that will enhance my life and going out with friends. Caring for children truly gives me a sense of joy and happiness.

“Veronica is a wonderful babysitter! She has taken care of our baby daughter several times, and we’ve always had a great experience with her. She is warm, friendly, caring, and very easy to communicate with. Our daughter always seemed happy and comfortable around her, which meant a lot to us as parents. We really appreciated her positive energy and the genuine affection she showed our little one. We would happily have her back again and definitely recommend her to other families looking for a kind and caring babysitter!”

"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)."
