Anyah Saint Albans
$19 per hour for 1 child

I am a scholar enrolled in Borough of Manhattan Community College. I lost my Home Health Aide job due to an unforeseen car accident that left me walking with a cane. Disability has cut me off but I feel that when one door closes another opens for better. I have worked as an after school counselor, a volunteer at many child events, have five well taken care of healthy animals in the home, and have been taking care of kids for longer than I can imagine. Need someone you can trust? Tired of looking? I like longevity as well, so please don’t hesitate to interview me. For school- grade kids I have created lesson plans, homework, I love helping with homework, and I am the distraction they need so you can get your tasks done.

Shania 2 reviews
New York
$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.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Danesha and I love kids! I have experience working with kids of all age groups in various settings such as camps, daycare, schools, and therapeutic environments. I enjoy engaging kids in activities such as arts & craft, board games, and free play to express their authentic self. I aspire to become a school psychologist.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Danesha, and I can confidently say she is one of the most reliable, attentive, and trustworthy people I’ve collaborated with. Her natural ability to connect with children, remain patient in challenging moments, and keep a calm, positive energy makes her stand out as a caregiver. Danesha is extremely dependable! She always shows up on time, communicates clearly, and takes her responsibilities seriously. She has a warm and nurturing personality that kids gravitate toward, but she also balances that with professionalism and excellent judgment. Whether she’s engaging children in activities, helping with routines, or maintaining a safe, structured environment, she’s consistently attentive and responsible. I’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful and detail-oriented she is. Parents can feel completely comfortable leaving their little ones in her care knowing that she prioritizes safety, follows instructions, and handles unexpected situations with maturity. Anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated babysitter would be lucky to have Danesha. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

"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)."
