Zahainia 1 review
New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey my name is Zahainia. I am currently in college getting my degree in health science in order to work in the medical field. I am offering childcare, household services, and homework help. I love being a babysitter and I have babysat for different age groups from newborns to teenagers. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old, I babysat for neighbors, family friends, and work friends. I even worked professionally as a afterschool teacher and also a daycare teacher assistant for a couple of years I love doing arts and crafts, doing dance parties, and even science projects. On my free-time I love cooking and traveling to new places to discover new cultures/food, I am very open minded and willing to help out wherever I can.

Zahainia has been an essential part of our family for over eight years. During that time, she supported us in many capacities, from part-time care during school days, to full-time support in the summers, and providing overnight care while I traveled for work. Her consistency, reliability, and genuine care for my child made her someone I trusted completely. Zahainia is exceptionally punctual and organized. She brings structure and calm to daily routines while remaining flexible to meet the changing needs of child and family schedules. Whether managing school pickups, homework, activities, or bedtime routines, she approached every responsibility with professionalism and thoughtfulness. Beyond her strong organizational skills, she is incredibly kind and patient. She built meaningful relationships with my son, creating an environment where he felt safe, supported, and encouraged. She balances warmth with appropriate boundaries, which I deeply valued as a parent. Communication has always been one of her greatest strengths. She provides clear updates, proactively shares important information, and collaborates effectively to ensure alignment on expectations and routines, especially important during extended or overnight care. Over nearly a decade, Zahainia proved herself to be dependable, trustworthy, and deeply committed. Any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their support system, and I recommend her without hesitation.

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi families, I’m Yirma ! I’ve always had a natural connection with children, which started at a young age while helping care for my younger brother from infancy to now, at age 11. Through that experience, I’ve become confident in caring for children and comfortable with many aspects of childcare, including diaper changes, bathing, feeding, tidying up, laundry, school drop offs and pick ups, taking children to appointments and activities, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and understand the importance of being patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am someone who is patient, compassionate, and empathetic, and I strive to bring those qualities into every aspect of my care. I really enjoy spending time with children in fun and meaningful ways, whether that’s playing with them, drawing and painting, or spending time outside exploring and enjoying fresh air. I also enjoy helping with learning and simply being present with them in a positive, engaging way. I’d love the opportunity to speak further and see how I can support your family. I look forward to hearing from you !

Yirma is amazing! My super active son loved being with her. We will recommend her 100%.

Hi. My name is Maridania and I am currently in my senior year at UCLA. I provide childcare, senior care, and housekeeping services. I love being a nanny and have cared for newborns, babies, toddlers, and children (even twins!) since I was 15. My responsibilities have included dropping off and returning to school, doing crafts, tutoring, and even teaching dance classes. I also work as a home helper and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have cared for my own grandparents and am comfortable with caring for seniors. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other chores. (I am also a great coworker!)

"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
