I'm a creative new york native nanny. I have been a career nanny for the last 9 years and has cared for children ages newborn to eight including a set of twin girls! I've traveled domestically and internationally with families. I love to engage children through art , music, culture and put in attention to detail on activities and communication style to each child. I'd describe myself as an excellent communicator, proactive, reliable and punctual and a child whisperer!

Hello, my name is Denise! I am 27 years old, a proud mom to a wonderful 7-year-old, and a dedicated childcare professional with a true passion for working with children. I am currently offering babysitting services and additional family support during my free time. I work full-time as a Pre-K teacher and have over four years of experience teaching toddlers. In addition, I have cared for children ranging in age from 5 months to 14 years old. My professional background has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children can learn and thrive. I earned my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Borough of Manhattan Community College, and I will begin pursuing my Master’s Degree in May 2027 in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am committed to continuing my education so I can provide the best care and support possible for children and families. I am a very active, enthusiastic, and energetic person who can easily match the energy of your child while keeping them engaged in positive activities. I enjoy reading books, making arts & crafts, playing board games, practicing flashcards, and going to the park (with parent permission). I believe childcare should be both fun and enriching. I am fully vaccinated, dependable, and happy to provide references upon request. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message with any questions I would be more than happy to speak with you. Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi! My name is Francie and I just graduated from Williams College. I am a babysitter and tutor, and am also willing to work with animals. I have experience in babysitting elementary and toddler-aged children, but am excited about working with other ages. I also have experience tutoring my younger brother, who had learning difficulties, so am comfortable working with kids who might have difficult relationships with school work. In the past I've dropped kids off and picked them up, done crafts with them, taken them to the playground, read with them, made up dances, and otherwise tried to have them to creative activities. Please let me know if I can give you any more info!

"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)."
