Booked by 8 families in East Elmhurst, NY

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. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing nutritious meals, or organizing engaging activities, I am committed to supporting both the children and the family's needs. 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.

Morgan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I would first like to thank you for acknowledging my profile as well as taking time out your day to give me a chance for this opportunity. If you are looking for a reliable, hardworking and experienced nanny you have stopped at the right person. I am very intelligent, sweet, caring and enjoy playing the violin most of the day. Not only do I have years of experience, I have the strength and patience to keep up with more than three children. Most of the families I worked with usually consist of two or more. Once you have mastered different strategies on how to care for a child, it becomes very easy to meet their needs without them having to tell you. You began to know exactly when to feed, change and even how to console them when sick. Just like us adults, children have feelings and may wake up having a bad day so I believe it is very important to be supportive, listen and learn to be that shoulder to lean on without yelling or getting frustrating at them. I absolutely love working with all my families. Me being compassionate for others helps me to bond with not only the children but the families as well. I have tag teamed with grandparents, play dates with other parents as well as family friends. This job has been an amazing experience still after so many years.

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.

"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)."
