Shania 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hey, my name is Shania, and I'm from Queens, New York. I am a caring and loving individual who enjoys taking care of children. Growing up in high school, my first jobs were working in daycare and summer camps to help with the children, and I've been a private nanny for the past two years, dealing with children ages one to ten. I am a really adventurous individual who adores nature. I enjoy being a nanny because I am able to assist parents by providing a comfortable, enjoyable, imaginative, and consistent environment for their children to enjoy.

Had Ms Shania babysit my daughter for 2 weeks and my daughter cried when she left. She's a great babysitter and is very attentive. I'd recommend her to anyone. Whenever, I come back to New York, I'll definitely have her babysit my baby girl.

Booked by 7 families in Elmhurst, NY

Hi, my name is Alejandra, i’m 22 years old. I love working with children because I enjoy their company, as it allows me to be creative, learn from them and help them grow in a safe and fun environment. In addition, I believe that my communication skills and patience allow me to build a relationship of trust with children and their parents. My responsibilities included drive, cook, do crafts and different activities with the children. Additionally, I work as a household, performing tasks such as cooking, cleaning and running errands.

Alejandra is the best! Positive, fun, so kind, organized... my kid liked her immediately and had so much fun 💓 Now I just wished she lived a little closer 😄

Hi! My name is Florencia, and I’m a responsible, patient, and energetic caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children. I’m very attentive and communicative, and I love engaging children through creative activities like drawing, storytelling, and interactive play. I can also help with routines and homework, while maintaining a structured and positive daily routine. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), and I can naturally incorporate both languages when interacting with children. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, including tidying up play areas, children’s laundry, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m reliable, warm, and committed to building a strong and trusting relationship with both children and parents. Looking forward to supporting your family! 💛

"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)."
