Mara $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Mara. I am a mother of four boys, ages 33, 27, 25, and 16, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I truly enjoy being around children and helping them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I have many years of experience caring for children. From 2006 to 2016, I cared for a little girl in Freeport, Maine, from the time she was a baby until she turned 10. During the COVID-19 period, I helped a family in New York with their two children. Most recently, I worked with a family in Long Island City from 2022 until July 2026, when they relocated. I am a caring, patient, dependable, and trustworthy person. I treat the children I care for with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own children. I enjoy becoming part of a family and being someone parents can feel comfortable and confident relying on.

Celia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Celia I’m originally from California and moved to New York two years ago to pursue a career in modeling. Along the way, I discovered that working with families through babysitting and nannying is something I genuinely enjoy—it’s the perfect balance with my schedule and something that brings me a lot of joy. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, with a real love for kids and helping out where needed. Whether it’s keeping your home safe while you’re away or making sure your little ones are happy, cared for, and entertained, I always show up with a calm, positive attitude. I have experience caring for children ages 3 to 7, including school pickups, cooking, helping with homework, and spending quality time together. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to lend a hand with light household tasks. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can help make your days a little easier!

Andrea $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Andrea and I’m a lifeguard and a swim instructor at the YMCA. I’m certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I also have an extra certification in teaching kids with disabilities such as ADHD or autism. I’ve been a swim instructor at the ymca for about two years now and have taught kids of different ages and backgrounds. I understand how draining it can be to take care of kids, which is why I’d like to be of help to parents who are overworked or even might just need some time for self-care. I also have a lot of experience with pets and especially cats. I've done a lot of research about pet care on my own time since I own two cats who I greatly care for. I’m definitely open to feeding, walking, or playing with pets. They deserve just as much attention and time as kids! I can cook as well but I am more confident when it comes to vegan/vegetarian recipes. However, I’m open to learning any new kinds of recipes that are out of my comfort zone.

"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)."
