Hi! My name is Akillah! I am a vocalist and artist. I've been in New York on and off for over 9 years. I was previously a Playdate Manager at Project Playdate and I have worked with dozens of families throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. If hired, there is sure to be plenty of exploring, and creating and there will definitely be lots and lots of singing. I am also very active and know the basics of most sports (I can and will keep up!). My goal as a sitter is to assist parents by providing a safe and loving environment for their children to give them peace of mind from day to day. I give priority to families who are tolerant and great communicators! I provide sliding-scale services based on needs on a case-by-case basis.

Great communication and my 7 month old baby seemed to really like Akillah!

Hi! I'm Roxy. I started babysitting more than a decade ago and have since held positions as a nanny, a childcare provider at a pilates studio, a substitute teacher, and a tutor both in-person at an under-resourced middle school and for distance-learning during COVID. I'm certified in pediatric first aid and CPR, comfortable with pets, and have a clean driving record. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are bake, read together, work on art projects, and get outside to the park or playground. I believe in instilling a sense of compassion, independence, and social justice in children from a young age by creating an environment where they feel loved, heard, and supported. I’m ideally looking for a full-time nanny position in New York but am also open to part-time and one-time jobs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Roxy was great with the kids. Professional. Will definitely have her again.

Hello families, my name is Fredlyne. I am a an elementary school teacher. I am also pursuing my masters degree. Prior to this, I was an infant and toddler teacher at two different schools.Therefore, I do have the experience, proper training and certifications. I love children and babysitting not only helps me as a “broke” college student but allows me to get more field experience in teaching and working with children of all ages. I'm looking forward to working with you in making sure the children are safe and well taken care of :)

I am a 23 year old college student studying to become a child psychologist. I have had 6+ years of experience with children. I have worked with 20+ kids at Mill Basin Day Camp and I have also done many other babysitting jobs. My patience is out of this world which is very important when working with kids and I am also very creative and fun which I think they enjoy! I have worked with kids with learning disabilities, and psychological disorders so I am experienced in being able to help kids who may have complications with independently completing certain tasks or may require different child care approaches. Because I am studying to be a child psychologist I believe that I understand children on a deeper level and I connect with them, and communicate with them which is very important for their physical and mental well being.

Booked by 127 families in Astoria, NY

Hello! My name is Anastazja, but you can call me Azja. I’ve been on UrbanSitter for about 11 years now, since I was 18, but have been babysitting for what feels like my whole life! I’m the eldest of three children, and definitely had a hand in raising my brother and sister. My grandmother had 13 siblings, so I’ve had a lot of cousins, nieces, and nephews that I have helped out with over the years. I’ve done both one time sitting jobs as well as long term nanny positions in my time on UrbanSitter, ages ranging from 3 weeks old to 13 years old! I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve when it comes to crying newborns at naptime, or mischievous kiddos trying to evade the bedtime routine. I’m a big sister, so I have a lifetime of experience using a firm but gentle approach to misbehavior and tantrums, while still making sure your kiddo has the best day ever! I was a camp counselor as a pre-teen and always have arts and craft activities to do! Reading and doing some arts and crafts activities is great for all ages and it’s still my favorite hobby. A little about me, I’m a San Franciscan, born and raised! J moved to NYC in 2024, and have been having a blast getting to know the Cuty ever since. I also am a part time art teacher for K-8 students, who enjoys crafting, thrifting, watching live music and broadway shows, and reading. I am up to date on my Covid vaccinations, as well as others. I’ve also been recertified in CPR as of March 2026. Cancellation Policy: If you cancel the booking day of, you must pay 50% of the booking fee.

"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

"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)."
