Danesha 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Danesha and I love kids! I have experience working with kids of all age groups in various settings such as camps, daycare, schools, and therapeutic environments. I enjoy engaging kids in activities such as arts & craft, board games, and free play to express their authentic self. I aspire to become a school psychologist.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Danesha, and I can confidently say she is one of the most reliable, attentive, and trustworthy people I’ve collaborated with. Her natural ability to connect with children, remain patient in challenging moments, and keep a calm, positive energy makes her stand out as a caregiver. Danesha is extremely dependable! She always shows up on time, communicates clearly, and takes her responsibilities seriously. She has a warm and nurturing personality that kids gravitate toward, but she also balances that with professionalism and excellent judgment. Whether she’s engaging children in activities, helping with routines, or maintaining a safe, structured environment, she’s consistently attentive and responsible. I’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful and detail-oriented she is. Parents can feel completely comfortable leaving their little ones in her care knowing that she prioritizes safety, follows instructions, and handles unexpected situations with maturity. Anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated babysitter would be lucky to have Danesha. I highly recommend her without hesitation.”

I’m a certified and BLS-trained nursing student with a childcare certification and over 4 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids handling feeding, meal prep, light cleaning, and creating fun, educational activities that promote growth and confidence. I’m patient, dependable, and calm under pressure, with a natural ability to connect and build trust. My nursing background ensures I’m attentive to safety, health, and emotional needs at all times. I’m also experienced in elder care, offering companionship, medication reminders, and mobility support. Whether it’s helping with homework, managing bedtime routines, or keeping pets happy and active, I treat every family as my own.

Booked by 1 family in Howard Beach, NY

Hi! My name is Makela, I attend college at LaGuardia Community College, where I’m studying to become a NICU nurse because I’ve always dreamed of caring for little ones. I’ve been looking after kids for about five years now, I have experience working with children aged 0-12 but mostly new borns/toddlers and children up to age of 9. The first job I had was at 14 caring for my little cousin who was a new born at the time and it’s something I’ve loved since the very beginning. I enjoy cooking, dancing, and making everyday moments fun while also being responsible and reliable. I also speak Spanish which is something I’m open to teaching. Most of all, I want to create a safe, happy space for kids and be someone they can look up to. I’d love the chance to bring my energy and care into your family!

“Amazing young,responsible and kind lady. Thank you for being here for us!”

I am local Children's Book author and friend of the Brooklyn community. I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Public Health. During my time at UW, I assisted in Child Developmental research where I studied the impact of social cues on 12mo children. I have a passion for serving vulnerable populations and an understanding of how early life experiences tremendously impact an individual's lifelong wellness. I have over 4 years of experience caring for multiple age groups from Infancy to Middle School in both home and classroom settings. Beyond ensuring that your child is safe and healthy, my goal is to foster a creative and fun environment. I look forward to working with you and your family!

“Brittney is extremely communicative, professional, and warm. She has done great with our little guy who can be tough to please. She is patient and kind and isn’t afraid to ask questions. I would definitely recommend her. ”

"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."
