Shermie New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shermie, and I’m an experienced, dependable nanny with over 4 years of professional childcare experience and more than 8 years of volunteer work with children. I’ve cared for children ranging from 5 months to 13 years old, with strong hands-on experience supporting infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I truly enjoy supporting families and making a meaningful difference in children’s lives. I bring patience, creativity, and a friendly, nurturing approach to every interaction. My experience with older children comes from volunteer roles, including working at summer camps and serving as a Sunday school teacher, which has helped me build strong skills in guidance, communication, and engagement across age groups. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology, giving me a strong understanding of child behavior, emotional development, and positive discipline strategies. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am comfortable with pets. I pride myself on creating safe, structured, and supportive environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I follow parents’ lead when it comes to household routines and rules, and I communicate updates in whatever way works best for your family—whether that’s verbal check-ins or regular texts. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a nurturing, fun, and reliable presence in your home, and I would love the opportunity to become part of your family’s support system!

"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

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)."
