Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.

With a strong foundation in early childhood development and exceptional organizational skills, I am excited to bring my experience and dedication to your school community. I am currently seeking a full-time position as a teaching assistant while continuing my education, and I am open to adapting to different roles and learning opportunities that support both my professional growth and your school’s needs. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with both parents and colleagues, and I am known for being nurturing, patient, and attentive when working with children. My experience as a substitute paraprofessional for one year allowed me to support students from diverse backgrounds, including those with varying learning needs and disabilities. Additionally, my time at Belmont Community Daycare Center helped me build a strong, hands-on understanding of child care and early learning environments. I am CPR certified and hold additional certifications that support my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for students. I am confident in my ability to contribute positively as a teaching assistant and to grow

I’m a responsible and adaptable caregiver with extensive experience caring for children ages 1-8. My flexible personality helps me connect easily with kids of all ages. I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs throughout my life and currently have a cat, so I’m completely comfortable with pets in the home. I understand that every child is unique, and I pride myself on adjusting my approach to meet each family’s specific needs and routines. Whether it’s engaging toddlers with creative play, helping school age children with activities, or providing reliable household support, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for working with both children and animals to every family I work with.

Hi moms and dads! My name is Aliana and I have over six years of experience caring for kids from newborns to age 14, and I genuinely love what I do! I’m looking for a part time job during the school year, and full time or part time job from late June to mid August. I’m a 22 year old college student going for nursing and am First Aid and CPR Certified. I also am up to date with all of my vaccinations, including COVID-19. I hold my NY State Driver’s license, but do not have a car. I’m warm, reliable, and easygoing, and I enjoy building real connections with both kids and parents. I have a creative and adventurous side! I love planning fun activities, getting outside, and keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, and little adventures around our beautiful city. At the same time, I’m responsible, organized, and always focused on creating a safe and happy environment where kids can be themselves.

Aliana is an amazing sitter! She is wonderful with both my children, engaging them well and even can get my youngest son to stop crying when I leave (other sitters can’t!). She does an amazing job with helping tidy the house even stepping in on laundry. She is an A +++ level sitter and I would trust her fully.

I have been babysitting for over 10 years! I have been a counselor in training at the YMCA, helping in the summer program with specifically children from ages 5-13. This had included for me to work from 9 to 5, and even staying overtime if my advisors needed the extra help. I was consistently, and not only traveling with the children around the building, but outdoors as well. I made sure that they were safe, playing respectfully, doing their planned activities and getting their lunch. Despite the basics, I focused on child development when working with the children, making sure to be understanding of their emotions as that was very important to me. I had to teach them about consequences to their actions with enforcing discipline, yet maintaining a respectful manner. I allowed for them to understand the importance of empathy and apologizing. This allowed for me to understand at the time what it meant to be a leader, and have proper communication skills I Love Children!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
