Aisha 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Aisha Balonfentse and I'm from Staten Island, New York. I've always been surrounded by children and have developed a genuine love for caring for and working with kids of all ages. Im a graduate of Curtis High school & have also attended College of Staten Island majoring in psychology which gave me valuable knowledge about health, development, and overall well being. Currently Im an Experienced nanny with 4+ years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. Skilled in managing daily routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, planning age-appropriate activities, school pickups & drop offs, household organization and maintaining a safe & fun environment. Im patient and dedicated to supporting children's growth, development, and overall well-being. I’m also a big sister to 4 younger siblings that I have helped raise since I was 15. One of the things I enjoy most about being a nanny is spending quality time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I love engaging in activities, organizing play dates, and encouraging positive social interactions that help build confidence and ensure they develop strong friendships and social skills. Seeing the smiles on their faces and knowing that I have helped make their day enjoyable is meaningful to me. I strive to ensure a safe & happy space where children feel supported, valued, and excited to explore the world around them. In addition to nannying, I have experience working as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA), where I provided compassionate, attentive support to individuals with various needs. I am patient, responsible, nurturing, and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment. Building strong relationships with both children and families is something I value deeply and I take pride in creating a caring and trustworthy atmosphere for everyone I work with.

Aisha is incredibly dependable and trustworthy. I have always been able to count on her to show up on time, follow instructions, take my daughter to school safely as well as pick her up safely. My daughter adores her, and I have complete confidence in her ability to care for her safely.

Kianah $25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing children and watching them learn brings me immense joy. My five years of experience caring for children aged 0–13 have solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I am patient, calm, and confident when it comes to enforcing household rules and maintaining routines. I enjoy engaging children in board games, puzzles, and educational activities that promote learning, creativity, and social development. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, such as tidying play areas, organizing toys, preparing simple meals or snacks, washing dishes, and helping with children’s laundry to ensure a clean and comfortable environment. I value open communication and will follow your preferred method to keep you informed about your child’s day, activities, and milestones. I am comfortable caring for one or two children at a time, allowing me to give each child focused attention and care. I truly enjoy supporting families and look forward to the opportunity to care for and nurture your little one

Nurturing young minds is truly my passion.

I hold a graduate degree and enjoy caring for children aged 1-11. I'm comfortable with up to four children. I am patient, calm, and friendly. I love playing outside, board games, and educational games. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and text, always following your preferred method. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Speaking both English and Spanish allows me to connect with more families. Having a car and being comfortable with pets makes logistics easier. I look forward to bringing my energy and experience to your family.

Booked by 4 families in Port Reading, NJ

Hi! I’m a friendly, patient, and responsible college student with experience caring for children of different ages. I love playing, doing creative activities, and helping with homework. I’m also happy to help with light cooking, kids’ laundry, and driving to activities. I’m someone families can count on, and I enjoy making kids feel safe, supported, and happy.

Fiorella did a wonderful job caring for our 3- and 9-year-old. She was professional, patient, and connected with both kids right away despite their very different ages and needs. Our toddler felt comfortable and engaged, and our older child enjoyed her company as well. We felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Highly recommend!

"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)."
