Ashley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Ashley, a responsible and caring person who enjoys working with children. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun and supportive environment while being patient, dependable and attentive to each child's needs. I'm excited to bring that same level of care and positivity to a family's home. I have 4 years of childcare experience, including 2 years of nanny experience caring for children ages 1–3 years old. As a nanny, I supported children’s daily routines, prepared meals and snacks, assisted with hygiene, planned age-appropriate activities, and created a safe, nurturing environment where children could learn and grow. I also have 2 years of experience as a camp counselor at a camp for children and teens with special needs, caring for campers ages 6 and up. I supervised activities, ensured safety, provided emotional support, and helped create an inclusive and encouraging environment. Additionally, I have volunteered in a children’s cancer ward, supporting young patients with compassion and care. I am patient, responsible, creative, and passionate about helping children feel safe, valued, and supported. My favorite part of being a nanny is building meaningful connections with children. I love spending time with them, watching their personalities shine, and being part of their growth and everyday adventures.

Booked by 1 family in Thornwood, NY

Hello! My name is Elianna and I am a graduate of Fordham University. I am offering child care, household services, and pet care. Being a babysitter has brought me great joy and have been watching toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old. I have had north of 5 repeat families in my over a decade long career as a Babysitter. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, after-school activities, and appointments. I have been a caretaker for my own young brothers and every child I look after I treat as if they are my own family. My experience ranges from children aged newborn to 13 years old. (Arts and Crafts have been a particular favorite of the children I have babysat). I can cook, drive to appointments, as well as perform errands. I also am the proud owner of two guinea pigs a orange cat! I was also a dog mom for 15 years and know much about the needed love and care for animals. Reach out! I am looking forward to learning about you and helping your family in areas of needed support.

"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)."
