Booked by 23 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! I'm Shterna, and I'm 27 years old. I grew up in central Brooklyn in a big family of 11, with 28 nieces and nephews (ages 0-16) and over 100 first cousins. Being surrounded by kids my whole life, I naturally picked up childcare early on. *I will be graduating with a Bachelor's in Psychology in July of 2027 (My classes are at 7:30 PM twice a week so my school schedule does not impede my daytime/full-time availability)* I started working with kids professionally in middle school as a babysitter and summer camp counselor. After finishing school in 2018, I primarily worked as a nanny (with a brief stint in corporate) and continue to nanny today. I have lots of experience with newborns, multiples, classrooms (of infants, toddlers, and junior high-school) long shifts, overnights and weekends, children who are unwell, working in two-parent households, and transporting kids around the city. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats, hold a driver’s license, and am vaccinated. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader and Boggle player. I love putting on makeup, jump on any opportunity to hear live-music, and enjoy schmoozing with friends. As a religious Jew, my weekend availability can be limited, but I’m happy to work around it when possible. I’m semi-fluent in Hebrew (and Yiddish) and enjoy sharing my culture with anyone interested! I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to answer any questions or provide additional information and references.

“Shterna is a confident, dependable caregiver. She has taken the time to understand our infant daughter's personality, moods, developmental stage, and individual needs, adapting her care accordingly. She actively supports our daughter's development through thoughtful interaction and age-appropriate activities. Since she began caring for our daughter, we have noticed her becoming more settled, engaged, and confident. Most importantly, our daughter has developed a strong bond with Shterna and is always happy to see her. We feel confident leaving our daughter in Shterna's care and highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive babysitter.”

Greetings! I have had 10 years of experience with children of all ages. I am a certified baby nurse, behavioral technician and I have also worked with 20+ kids at Mill Basin Day Camp and I have also done many other babysitting job with families long term and short term. My patience is out of this world which is very important when working with kids and I am also very creative and fun which I think they enjoy! I have worked with kids with learning disabilities, and psychological disorders so I am experienced in being able to help kids who may have complications with independently completing certain tasks or may require different child care approaches. I believe that I understand children on a deeper level and I connect with them, and communicate with them which is very important for their physical and mental well being.

Hi! My name is Vanessa ! I have been in the nanny/ babysitting field for over 9 years now! I am most familiar with the UES but I have also done occasional jobs all over New York! Right now I am looking for one time positions or part time positions. I love to have fun taking kids to the park or just hanging out at home!

“Vanessa arrived on time, was a great boy sitter- she knew how to play with my 7 year old, help him get his energy out, & had him in bed on time & asleep before I got home, which I was grateful for. She also has a lovely demeanor, I would happily have her babysit again.”

"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."
