Booked by 21 families in Howard Beach, NY

Hi! I’m Nylaah and I’ve been a professional nanny in NYC for four years now, along with over eight years of babysitting overall! I absolutely love working with children and believe in creating a warm, playful, and creative environment. Whether we’re reading stories, baking treats (a personal favorite), exploring the outdoors, or tackling homework, I strive to make every moment engaging and positive! My experience includes: • Caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children • School drop-offs and pick-ups • Organizing fun and educational activities • Preparing healthy meals and snacks • Running errands and scheduling appointments • Homework help and after-school routines • CPR/First-aid certification I’m currently seeking another full-time position for this school year, and hopefully something long term! I’m also pretty flexible and I’m happy to help out for date nights, weekends, or as an extra pair of hands when you need it most! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re in need of a sitter! I look forward to hearing from you! :) *Four hour minimum. Jobs canceled with less than 24 hours notice are billed for the full scheduled hours

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 56 families in Howard Beach, NY

My name is Schnailah, and I bring a vibrant, enthusiastic, and open minded approach to babysitting. Growing up in Haiti, I developed a strong cultural foundation rooted in community, responsibility, and nurturing care. I was raised in a lively household surrounded by younger siblings and cousins, which gave me plenty of hands on experience with childcare and tutoring. As the eldest, I naturally took on a leadership role helping with homework, looking after their well being, and creating a supportive and encouraging environment. My passion for working with children extends beyond my family, as I also have formal babysitting experience. I have a dynamic personality, a love for adventure, and a genuine eagerness to learn, which helps me build meaningful connections with children while making sure they feel safe, supported, and engaged. I am currently a college student majoring in biology, with plans to attend dental school and become a pediatric dentist. Caring for children is not just a job for me it’s part of my long-term passion and future career, and I would love to bring that same care and dedication to 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."

"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)."
