Booked by 1 family in Valley Stream, NY

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. I take pride in being reliable, professional, and caring someone you can truly depend on to keep your loved ones safe, engaged, and cared for.

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.”

Yannie $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Yannie, and I offer dependable child care, senior care, and household assistance. As a mother of four children, I have years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My children range in age from 11 to 26, and raising them has given me patience, compassion, and a strong understanding of children’s needs. In addition to raising my own children, I owned and operated a licensed family daycare, where I provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children in my care. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I am CPR and First Aid trained through my previous family daycare experience and have always made the safety and well-being of those in my care my highest priority. I also have experience caring for seniors, both professionally and personally. In addition to caring for my own mother, I have provided care and companionship for other seniors as well. I can assist with companionship, transportation to appointments, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and daily activities while helping seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence. In addition, I offer household assistance, including cooking, cleaning, organizing, laundry, and running errands when needed. I especially enjoy preparing Puerto Rican and Spanish-inspired home-cooked meals. I am also happy to care for pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I take pride in being dependable, caring, patient, and trustworthy. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I strive to treat every child, senior, pet, and home with the same kindness, respect, and dedication that I would want for my own family. I look forward to becoming a reliable helping hand and a positive part of your family’s daily life.

"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."
