Hi! My name is Vesna and I am a mum of three. I have two daughters in adult age and a 12-year old son. I have been a stay at home mum since my first child was born but have recently worked as a Supervisor for almost 2 years at a hotel in Midtown Manhattan. I am originally from Montenegro but lived in Italy and Germany due to my husband’s job. I speak Italian, as well. I am a dedicated mum and a loving person and my children say that I am the best cook. I love cooking Italian food and the recipes I have learned from living 8 years in Italy. I am ideally looking for a part- time job taking care of children/household or seniors.

Joan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Joan, an 18-year-old with experience caring for children of all ages. I am also a current college student at New York University. My experience mainly comes from babysitting my neighbor's kids! I bring creativity, patience, and a warm personality to every family I work with, making sure your little ones are engaged and safe. Whether it’s organizing fun activities, helping with homework, or preparing meals, I’m here to provide reliable and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I understand how important it is to create a trustworthy and positive environment for your children. I also love to cook and play the piano and would love to come cook healthy meals for you and your family. (Side note: huge animal lover :)) I mainly hope to find a family that I can be a long-term and reliable source of help for as I find that I do best in an environment where I feel close and comfortable with the family but I can also do well on a short notice! Let me help make your life a little easier!

"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)."
