Brenda $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Brenda! I am a dedicated and compassionate 30-year-old nanny with 5 years of hands-on childcare experience. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment while supporting children’s developmental needs and maintaining clear communication with families. I have somewhat of a Montessori approach and aim to help children feel confident in their abilities through fostering growth and independence. I genuinely enjoy being with children and promoting their enrichment through classes, time spent outdoors, and collaboration with parents. I love to play, read, go to museums and on playdates, and keep the children involved and engaged. I have experience caring for up to three children at one time and have provided full-time care for a child as young as three months old and as old as ten years.

I’m an active New Yorker based in the Chelsea area, a current college student pursuing my bachelors in Digital Communications at Baruch College. I always aim to support each family’s unique approach to childcare. If parents prefer minimal screen time, I’m happy to encourage that through engaging play, meaningful conversation, and creative activities. I’m energetic, enthusiastic, and never afraid to get down on the floor to join in their little world, making playtime both fun and enriching, ensuring your child has a caregiver who can match their excitement and curiosity. Most importantly, I believe in mirroring the way parents connect with their children, so that care feels consistent, comfortable, and aligned with your values. I’m an avid moviegoer and I also enjoy crocheting and painting which are hobbies I love to incorporate into play and activities with kids whenever possible. Have pets? 🐾 no problem! I love animals and have my own fur baby that is my entire world. Parents, If you are considering me to watch your little ones, I’d be more than happy to hop on a call via zoom and/or via cell if needed.

“Highly recommend Byann! She was prompt, fun, engaging with our kids, and communicated proactively. She was also considerate and kind. Our kids already asked to have her back!”

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.

"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."
