“Let all that you do be done with love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 Hi, my name is Sharon. I have many years of experience caring for both children and seniors, and I truly enjoy being someone families can count on. My childcare experience includes private in-home care as well as working in a daycare setting. I have helped with daily routines, meals, supervision, playtime, light household tasks, and creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for children. I also currently provide private elderly care, where I assist with meals, appointments, companionship, daily routines, and other day-to-day needs. In addition, I previously owned and operated my own cleaning business, where I worked directly with clients, managed household responsibilities, and made sure each home was cared for with attention to detail and consistency. I am organized, detail-oriented, warm, and reliable. I take pride in being helpful, noticing the little things, and making each day a little easier for the families I work with.

“Extremely detail oriented cleaning for an apartment move out. Communicative and reliable.”

Hi! I like to go by Monica and I’m a very experienced Nanny who has worked in the home with many families, newborns, toddlers, and children, for the past 30 years. I am offering child care and after-school Nanny services to families in the NYC area. It’s my passion being a Nanny and engaging with children of all ages! Playing games, arts and crafts, reading books, taking them to the playground - I love to keep them busy and help them to build their skills. Maintaining a safe, loving and fun environment is something that I take seriously! I am comfortable with school pickups, doctor appointments, preparing meals for the children, doing their laundry, maintaining a tidy home, doing their bedtime routine, and am flexible to work late when needed. I can’t wait to meet your kids, to work with you, and be part of the team! :-) (I am happy to provide references!)

“Monica (legal name Lorna) is an UNBELIEVABLE caregiver, nanny, and overall person! Monica has been our family’s full-time nanny for the past five years (2021-2026). She has been with our two boys from the day they were born until now, with out oldest son about to enter Kingergarten and us moving out of NYC. We cannot recommend her enough!! She is amazing with newborns, toddlers, and children of all ages. She knows exactly how to connect with children and give them what they need to thrive. I’d be happy to give more detail or a reference for Monica anytime. Please text me at 516-695-6767. Thanks for all the amazing years, laughs and love, Monica!!”

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.”

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.”

"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."
