Booked by 3 families in Astoria, NY

I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.

Nilysha $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nilysha 😊 I’m currently a nursing student with a passion for caring for others, especially children. I’ve always loved being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I have experience working with children as both a swim instructor and lifeguard, which taught me patience, responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm and attentive in all situations. I’m also CPR/BLS certified and currently gaining hands-on experience through pediatric and maternity nursing clinicals as I work toward my dream of becoming a NICU nurse practitioner one day. I also grew up as the youngest in a big family and have 10 nephews ranging from toddlers to teenagers, so I’ve been surrounded by kids my whole life! Being involved in their lives has helped me learn how to connect with different personalities and age groups while always being caring, dependable, and understanding. I would describe myself as bubbly, kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I enjoy activities like arts & crafts, reading, movies, games, homework help, and simply making kids feel comfortable and entertained while keeping safety the top priority. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your children, and I always strive to make families feel supported and at ease 😊

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
