Booked by 1 family in Elmhurst, NY

Hi, my name is Najya, and I am a care taker. I have been doing senior care for six years and it has been a pleasure. I offer child care, senior care, and household care. I love working with children the most as they are what I specialize in. From infants to toddlers all of them, bring joy, and that’s what matters most to me. I can cook for young ones, clean after them, and bathe them. I have already raised three children of my own in their younger years bring so much happiness. Caring for young ones is part of the main reason I wanted to start studying to become a nurse! I also provide household help such as cleaning, running errands, laundering, and cooking. I feel that a good deep cleaning can make a house look and feel brand new. Coming home to a cleaned house can be so refreshing and relaxing to most people. I love helping people feel this way which is why I provide this skill. Running errands. Could be difficult task for working parents who need their products, groceries, and even household items on time. An even more difficult task is catching up with loads of laundry to do when you have a messy toddler or simply just a lot of clothes. One thing I love most is making warm, home-cooked meals for families to share. My skills come from cleaning after a family of five, grocery shopping for my family, and always making the best warm meals for my picky eater kids. As hard as it is to find the perfect meal that is tasty, healthy, and to their liking I always aim to satisfy! I have no allergies to dogs or cats so I am happy to sit for them. I am a previous owner of 2 cats who were high maintenance always needed to be brushed, showered, fed, and even taken out to parks. In my opinion they are just the cutest and deserving of a sitter. Moving to the topic of seniors, I have been working with them for a while now. They have always been a pleasure. I always find happiness in helping them finish a plate, or get up for a bath, or even get prepped for a gathering. What I intend from being a care taker is giving by best. Weather it be helping a baby be bathed or pet be combed or even a senior citizen be fed, I live for the warmth of caring for others. Which is why I want to move forward and help all with what ever skills are needed by my clients!!!

Tamiyah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tamiyah, I am a loving, patient, and dependable childcare provider with over 5+ years of professional experience working with children of various ages. I previously worked as an Afterschool Teacher at Apex Learning Center, where I supported elementary-aged students with homework assistance, structured activities, classroom management, and social-emotional development. In this role, I learned how to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel encouraged, supported, and confident. In addition to my experience with school-aged children, I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle guidance during early developmental stages. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and emotional growth while always prioritizing safety. I also worked as a caregiver at Mount Vernon Towers, where I assisted senior residents with daily living activities and companionship. This experience strengthened my nurturing nature, attentiveness, and ability to provide personalized care with empathy and respect. Working with seniors has enhanced my patience and my ability to remain calm and supportive in all situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am experienced in multitasking, maintaining routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and caring for pets as well. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once and adapting to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. Families describe me as gentle, trustworthy, responsible, and attentive. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can thrive, feel secure, and have fun. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, compassionate care.

"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."

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)."
