Hi, my name is Shumaila. I am currently working part-time as a babysitter and am open to long-term commitments. I am a mother of two and bring a warm, energetic, and caring approach to every family I work with, while maintaining a high level of professionalism. I have over 8 years of paid experience caring for children from infants to toddlers and can provide excellent references upon request. In addition to childcare, I am a certified chef and offer weekly meal prep services for families. I specialize in Pakistani and Indian cuisine but can confidently follow any recipe and accommodate dietary needs, including healthy, halal, vegetarian, or customized meal plans. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management & Logistics, which strengthens my organization, time management, and planning skills—helping me better support busy families. I hold a college degree and am fluent in English. I am also a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certified professional and Adult & Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid certified by the American Red Cross. I take pride in supporting families not only with loving childcare but also by making their daily routines easier through nutritious, home-cooked meals.

Hello! I am currently a student at Columbia University, and I would love to meet and connect with your family! As the oldest of 5 children, I have been consistently called upon to look after my young siblings, which I have done for about 8 years. Additionally, I babysit often for my younger cousins; right now, my siblings and cousins are school age, however, I do have experience with toddlers. I have previously assisted with an in-home daycare which provided care for children under the age of 6. Over the years I have picked up various babysitting gigs and in the past year, I have started to take sitting more seriously. I have been babysitting for families on the Upper West Side for about a year, primarily with drop-offs, pick-ups, and weekends. I love connecting with children and being a small part of their day, and I love connecting with parents as well!

She engaged right away with my 5 and 2 yr boys and had me feel comfortable to leave the house. I came home early and got a chance to know her more. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Would love to have her again.

Booked by 8 families in Union City, NJ

Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.

"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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
