***Please check my calendar for the most accurate view of my availability.*** Hello parents and guardians! Thank you so much for visiting my profile. My name is Jennifer. I am responsible, creative, patient, fascinated with child development, and most importantly love to embrace my inner child. The majority of my experience has been with children as young as 2 weeks old up to 14 years. I consider myself a big advocate of child-directed play, learning, and exploring but of course within a structure. I believe that children do best in environments where they are respected and understood. Having a caregiver understand how you feel as a child, and empathize with your feelings, while still setting boundaries, makes a big difference in their lives. I also LOVE furbabies, whether they're dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I’m a huge animal lover and enjoy interacting with them. I offer my services as a pet sitter as well, so please feel free to inquire about this. My favorite thing to do is travel to different places. My hobbies are photography, video editing, and writing. 🔸 SAFE COMMUTE: To ensure my safety and because things have changed drastically since early 2020, I require a car (Uber, Lyft, Curb, etc.) from or to your home depending on the time when your booking ends or starts. These apply for bookings that either start before 8:00 a.m. or that end after 8:00 p.m. (20:00). 🔸HOLIDAY RATES: When working holidays I do ask for 1.5x my standard rate. Please check my calendar for availability! It is updated daily but if there’s a time slot you need and don’t see available, please message me to inquire about it! 🔸CANCELLATION POLICY: I understand things may come up requiring you to cancel. I require 48 hours' notice for any cancellations. For less than 48 hours' notice, I charge 50% of the time booked. For cancellations of less than 24 hours’ notice, I require full payment for the time booked. This can be paid through a variety of money transfer apps: Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, or Paypal.

Hello, My name is Elodie, and I am a native of France, fluent in English, French, and Spanish. I hold a degree in Fashion Design, Applied Arts, and Marketing from a renowned fashion and art school. I am reliable and available to care for your children. In addition to being a certified rescue diver with valid First Aid and CPR certifications, I am also an animal lover. I am here to make your life easier, ensuring you can enjoy a worry-free night out or a productive workday. Availability: Full-time, part-time, evenings, and weekends. My goal is to enhance your children’s proficiency in the French language, culture, education, and traditions. I also aim to cultivate their artistic senses by exploring art through museum visits, crafts, and music. Throughout my studies and freelance work, I have cared for several families over the past fifteen years, with children ranging from 2 months to 14 years old, both in Paris and New York. I possess strong organizational, artistic, and communication skills, which I believe are crucial attributes of a good babysitter. I am flexible and adaptable, with extensive knowledge of child psychology and development. Above all, I am committed to nurturing and encouraging healthy emotional and physical development. I will always ensure your children are safe and having fun through activities such as games, art, and sports. I find immense joy in taking care of children and teaching them. I regularly engage in sports, love swimming, and enjoy classical music (I played the violin for seven years) and yoga. I am passionate about healthy vegan cuisine, art, fashion, and reading. I am fun, bubbly, responsible, and caring. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, where they feel protected and can thrive. I hope my experience and skills encourage you to contact me so we can meet in person. If you have any questions or require references, please feel free to reach out. Kind regards, Elodie

Elodie came to our rescue when a work event came up at the last minute. She was warm and engaging and immediately won over our 3 year old. She brought crafts along that our daughter was extremely excited about. She was extremely communicative and shared updates throughout the evening -- our daughter had a wonderful time with her!

Hi! I am Heloísa, nice to meet you I am dedicated to my work and give one hundred percent to everything I do. I have been working with children since I was fifteen years old and have extensive experience in the field. Taking care of a child is much more than just a job, but rather a learning experience aimed at always building a bond of trust and care with the family and the child. I also offer other services such as cleaning/organizing and pet care. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to my profile!

We were very impressed by Heloisa and will certainly work with her again

Hi, my name is Annette! I’ve been a professional nanny for over 15 years, caring for children from newborns through 13 years old. Alongside my professional experience, I’m also a mom to a 4-year-old and a 13-year-old, which gives me an even deeper understanding of what families need and value in childcare. While being a nanny is my profession, it’s also something I genuinely love. Being present for children, supporting their growth, and helping them feel safe and supported is what drives me. As a parent, I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child — you’re trusting them with the most important part of your life. I treat every child in my care as if they were my own. My role is to keep them safe, nurture them, and build trust so they know I’m there for them when their parents can’t be physically present. I approach every family relationship as a partnership. We all rely on each other, so open communication and transparency are very important to me. I’m here to support your parenting style, not overstep boundaries — I’d want the same respect when it comes to my own children. My goal is to provide stability and peace of mind, and I hope every family I’ve worked with would agree that I do just that. Fun fact about me: I’m the mother of a daughter with a cochlear implant (she was born with profound hearing loss). Through that journey, I’ve developed a lot of patience and hands-on speech therapy skills, which I also bring into my work as a nanny. As the saying goes — it takes a village! I look forward to working with new families and reconnecting with past families as well. 💛

Annette was very personable and warm. She provided updates hourly and both of my kids loved her :) I felt very at ease with Annette and we are looking forward to working with her again!

"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)."
