Zahainia 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey my name is Zahainia. I am currently in college getting my degree in health science in order to work in the medical field. I am offering childcare, household services, and homework help. I love being a babysitter and I have babysat for different age groups from newborns to teenagers. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old, I babysat for neighbors, family friends, and work friends. I even worked professionally as a afterschool teacher and also a daycare teacher assistant for a couple of years I love doing arts and crafts, doing dance parties, and even science projects. On my free-time I love cooking and traveling to new places to discover new cultures/food, I am very open minded and willing to help out wherever I can.

“Zahainia has been an essential part of our family for over eight years. During that time, she supported us in many capacities, from part-time care during school days, to full-time support in the summers, and providing overnight care while I traveled for work. Her consistency, reliability, and genuine care for my child made her someone I trusted completely. Zahainia is exceptionally punctual and organized. She brings structure and calm to daily routines while remaining flexible to meet the changing needs of child and family schedules. Whether managing school pickups, homework, activities, or bedtime routines, she approached every responsibility with professionalism and thoughtfulness. Beyond her strong organizational skills, she is incredibly kind and patient. She built meaningful relationships with my son, creating an environment where he felt safe, supported, and encouraged. She balances warmth with appropriate boundaries, which I deeply valued as a parent. Communication has always been one of her greatest strengths. She provides clear updates, proactively shares important information, and collaborates effectively to ensure alignment on expectations and routines, especially important during extended or overnight care. Over nearly a decade, Zahainia proved herself to be dependable, trustworthy, and deeply committed. Any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their support system, and I recommend her without hesitation.”

Hi families my name is Naima!! I’ve been a babysitter/nanny for the last 10 years!I’m energetic fun caring loving and easy going!! I speak Swahili and some French too! Im comfortable around pets and love dogs and cats! I also do housekeeping,help with homework,bedtime routine,arrange play dates,pick and drop off kids to school or after school activities and I can cook light meals. Babysitting and being a nanny Is second nature to me,for me it’s more of the experience with the kids,having tools to educate them protect them,care for them nurture them and put them on the right path❤️,it’s certainly not just a job!( to me)

“I’m pleased to recommend Nanyuma as a babysitter. She has consistently shown reliability, professionalism, and genuine care in every interaction. She has solid experience with children of various ages and adapts easily to their different personalities and routines. She communicates clearly, follows instructions, and always shows up on time — which has made her someone I can depend on without hesitation. Tasks such as supervising playtime, preparing small meals, supporting bedtime routines, and maintaining safety are handled confidently and responsibly. What truly stands out is her calm, patient, and kind approach. Children feel comfortable with her, and she engages them in a positive, respectful way. I never have to worry when they are with her — she creates a safe, supportive environment and keeps them meaningfully occupied. I highly recommend Nanyuma to any family who needs a trustworthy and caring babysitter. She is reliable, responsible, and consistently meets expectations with maturity and care.”

"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."
