I am 23 and an actor now residing in NYC. I was born & raised in Indiana and used to help keep my Nana company and would assist with my younger cousins. Being an actor, I love to play make believe with the little ones. I was also an assistant improv instructor for kids ages 5-12 and an acting teacher for neurodiverse/disabled teens and adults. I enjoy doing creative projects and interacting with children (preferred ages 4-12). Learn more about me at[removed] Pet Care 🐾 I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t befriend. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, fish, and even some reptiles! Feel free to inquire about more specifics. You can also find me on Rover.

ā€œMadison was very friendly, super punctual, and great to communicate with. We will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we are in NYC. Thanks for hanging out with William tonight! ā€

I hope all is well with you and your families. Over the years, it has been a great joy to be a source of relief and comfort for dozens of families worldwide, supporting their childcare, household management, and senior care needs. Like many of us, I started nannying during college. My undergraduate degree in Legal Research, combined with my interest in International Business, gave me the opportunity to study in New York, South Korea, Egypt, and Italy. My cultural adaptability, patience, and reliability have allowed families to entrust me with the care of their most precious loved ones. After college, I dedicated my time and expertise to supporting families with long-term needs. I have experience with infants to school-age children, including those with special needs or behavioral challenges. I am familiar with rotational schedules and flying to destinations on a rotation basis. I have accompanied families on holidays and served as a valuable extension of their comprehensive needs, especially for high-net-worth individuals. Regarding my demeanor, I am lighthearted and love to laugh. I remain calm in stressful situations and am well-equipped to handle the unexpected. I love learning and am never too proud to admit when I am wrong. My superpower is learning quickly. Outside of my professional life, I am quite adventurous. I love trying new things, whether it’s a new sport, restaurant, or activity. I enjoy walking long distances, watching and reviewing films, and, of course, my love for travel remains strong.

ā€œKiyonah has been a reliable and good babysitter for our child. She is punctual, follows instructions carefully, and engages the child with patience and creativity. We appreciate her calm and attentive approach, and our child was happy and well-cared-for in her presence. We confidently recommend her to any family.ā€

Hello, my name is Michelle! I hold a bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology and have over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to teenagers—including families with multiple children at once. In my role as a babysitter, I’ve enjoyed engaging kids in fun and educational activities such as arts and crafts, reading, homework support, outdoor play, and creative games like building with Legos or imaginative role play. I’m also experienced with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and providing overnight care when needed. Beyond babysitting, I’ve worked as a paraprofessional supporting children with behavioral needs in a school setting. This gave me valuable experience working one-on-one with students, reinforcing my patience, empathy, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. Parents describe me as reliable, caring, and enthusiastic. I love encouraging creativity, outdoor activities, and fostering a safe, positive environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with animals—so I’m happy to help in pet-friendly homes as well. I offer a flexible schedule and am just a phone call or text away. I also have strong references from previous families and supervisors, available upon request.

ā€œMy experience with Michelle was great. She would take my kids to the park, library and go to museums with them whenever there was an opportunity. She is always doing art projects with them during down time. She is Very reliable and trustworthy as my kids enjoy spending time with her. She is the queen of slime!ā€

"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)."
