Shadiyah 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Closter, NJ

Hi! I'm Shadiyah – a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver. I'm 34 years old, a proud Hunter College graduate, and a devoted mother to a teenage daughter who's now off following her dreams at boarding school in San Francisco. My passion for caretaking began in childhood, inspired by my grandmother’s nurturing example. Over the years, I’ve cared for many families across different communities, supporting children of all ages. In addition to babysitting, my responsibilities have included meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and transportation to and from after-school activities. I bring over a decade of experience working in the New York City public school system (Pre-K–12), along with more than 5 years in child welfare. These roles have equipped me with a deep understanding of children’s developmental and emotional needs. I believe in balancing structure with play and love creating fun, educational activities that support both learning and creativity. I use positive discipline and gentle guidance, but I can be assertive when needed. I'm also a lifelong animal lover and pet owner—currently the proud mom of a sweet dog—so I’m happy to care for furry friends as well. It brings me great joy to support a child's growth, exploration, and imagination. I’d be honored to be part of your family's journey and look forward to meeting you soon!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
