Hi! I’m Tanha, and have been babysitting for most of my life. I grew up as one of the oldest, with tons of littles around at any given time, I still have little cousins under 5 years old to watch. I also have little nephews that I absolutely adore. Holding a college degree, I'm experienced in caring for children aged 0-11, and comfortable with up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and always approachable. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities, and reading together. I prioritize open communication with you, using your preferred method to discuss your child's day. I'm also comfortable following your household rules. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a part of your family's support system. I love cats and dogs and am comfortable being around them, I have 2 of my own sweet kitties. I am also very clean and tend to tidy up when I have downtime
“Tanha was a great fit for us! She and my daughter hit it off instantly. She was pleasant and attentive to my daughter and helped her with her bedtime routine. They bonded over their love of animals. Would def book her for childcare help again. ”
Hello Families! My name is De'Ja and I’m a grad student at NYU. I am off for the summer and would love to help you with your childcare needs! I have 5 years of experience as a freelance childcare provider and I am Tedi Bear Certified. I have a bachelors in Fine Arts and 3 years of experience as a children's actor for TV and Theatre. Before starting school, I was a theatre teacher for grades 6th-12th. I have a great passion for providing education and childcare to families in need!
“Amazing job”
I grew up in New York City with a younger brother in an arts driven, multicultural family. My passions are language, grounding in nature, traveling, epicurean adventures, cooking, wellness and the arts. Along with my work in childcare, I am a published fine artist working in photography. I believe kids can teach us a lot with their curiosity, wisdom and free spirits. I always learn something new about myself in the company of children and I’ve worked with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I find them totally inspiring for my own creative work. I am also a big believer in families and have been offering them support through nurture, protection and care for nearly two decades. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and ability to support families through Doula studies. I seek connection with compassionate and kind families who value the contribution of caregivers~ those who know the work of care is a beautiful act of service that upholds the wellbeing of our collective. *Please be honest in your post or when we speak whether you have a sick child. A sick child rate is available, discussed and agreed upon at hire.
“Nora helped me out when I needed it most. She was very reliable and I felt like my kids were in good hands. I plan to ask her for her services in the future. My kids really enjoyed spending time with Nora.”
I am a current MBA student and graduate of Georgetown University who loves children and has vast experience in childcare returning to babysitting while out of the job market. I have tutored kids from first to seventh grade, been a preschool assistant teacher and babysat for many families over the years. My duties have included school pick up and drop-off, meal preparation and planning fun activities for the kids. I am a big fan of getting outside and doing something active or creative. With a cognitive science degree focusing on child development, I am confident I will be a terrific complement to your family. I look forward to hearing from you!
I started working with children from a very young age. I have experience as a nanny and camp counselor. I also am an animal lover and love long walks with furry friends. Being the oldest sibling, it is in my nature to be a caregiver and I am very patient and lots of fun. A fun fact about me is I love books and music!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
