Byann $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m an active New Yorker based in the Chelsea area, a current college student pursuing my bachelors in Digital Communications, and a corporate Executive Assistant in the beauty industry where I support a SVP and 2 VP’s. I’ve been caring for children from 10 months to 16 years old for over 10 years, and it’s something I truly love and take pride in. I always aim to support each family’s unique approach to childcare. If parents prefer minimal screen time, I’m happy to encourage that through engaging play, meaningful conversation, and creative activities. I’m energetic, enthusiastic, and never afraid to get down on the floor to join in their little world, making playtime both fun and enriching, ensuring your child has a caregiver who can match their excitement and curiosity. Most importantly, I believe in mirroring the way parents connect with their children, so that care feels consistent, comfortable, and aligned with your values. Outside of work, I’m an avid moviegoer (a proud AMC A-List member!), and I also enjoy crocheting and painting which are hobbies I love to incorporate into play and activities with kids whenever possible. Have pets? 🐾 no problem! I love animals and have my own fur baby that is my entire world. Parents, If you are considering me to watch your little ones, I’d be more than happy to hop on a call via zoom and/or via cell if needed.

Hello! My name is Shaday, and I am an experienced and dedicated nanny/babysitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience providing exceptional childcare. My passion for nurturing and guiding children has equipped me with a wide range of skills that ensure their safety, growth, and well-being in a trusting and caring environment. Parents can feel confident leaving their little ones in my care, knowing that I prioritize creating a loving, educational, and fun atmosphere.

Looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to your family’s life!

Shaday has babysat for us twice and she is punctual and friendly. While we were away, she responded quickly to inquiries about how little one was doing. Our little one is very hesitant about strangers, but seems to really like Shaday. And was genuinely sad to see her leave.

I am punctual, hard working, and communicative! I have worked with kids as a party princess and a babysitter. I just got off a cruise ship contract where I worked with the elderly. I have also pet & house sit for animals and spaces of all kinds!

Sophia was wonderful! She arrived on time and she brought some activities for the kids. I loved the way she engaged with them. It’s obvious she has cared for children before and that she genuinely enjoys being with them. She’s also bright and articulate. A super good role model.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
