Hi families my name is Naima!! I’ve been a babysitter/nanny for the last 10 years!I’m energetic fun caring loving and easy going!! I speak Swahili and some French too! Im comfortable around pets and love dogs and cats! I also do housekeeping,help with homework,bedtime routine,arrange play dates,pick and drop off kids to school or after school activities and I can cook light meals. Babysitting and being a nanny Is second nature to me,for me it’s more of the experience with the kids,having tools to educate them protect them,care for them nurture them and put them on the right path❤️,it’s certainly not just a job!( to me)

I’m pleased to recommend Nanyuma as a babysitter. She has consistently shown reliability, professionalism, and genuine care in every interaction. She has solid experience with children of various ages and adapts easily to their different personalities and routines. She communicates clearly, follows instructions, and always shows up on time — which has made her someone I can depend on without hesitation. Tasks such as supervising playtime, preparing small meals, supporting bedtime routines, and maintaining safety are handled confidently and responsibly. What truly stands out is her calm, patient, and kind approach. Children feel comfortable with her, and she engages them in a positive, respectful way. I never have to worry when they are with her — she creates a safe, supportive environment and keeps them meaningfully occupied. I highly recommend Nanyuma to any family who needs a trustworthy and caring babysitter. She is reliable, responsible, and consistently meets expectations with maturity and care.

Booked by 1 family in Howard Beach, NY

Hello!! I live in Midtown East!! I’m a mom. I’m very active! I’ve raised an incredible young woman who is living in England. I have spent years taking care of babies, toddlers, kids, tweens, teens. Being a mom is a hard job but I love it! I love spending time with kids/babies and playing and teaching them. I can email you references from jobs that I had before and after this app if you’d like. Looking forward to meeting your family.

Gaby has been a great addition to our family. Within minutes of meeting our 6 month old, she was sitting on the floor, playing with him. She talks to him throughout the day and keeps him happy and entertained. She's incredibly aware of his needs for sleep, food, and fun. She's also respectful of my wishes for caring for him. Gaby is also a tremendous help around the house, helping with keeping our counters, tabletops, and floors clean! She's easy to communicate with and flexible with start times. She's always on time and very dependable. So happy we have her!

Booked by 2 families in Howard Beach, NY

Hi there. My name is Galia. I am a patient, empathetic and energetic caregiver, offering child care, pet care and home sitting services. I am a copywriter currently looking for work, and happy to help families in the mean time. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15. But most of my experience is from the 3 years I spent as a part-time babysitter during my time at the University of Florida. I was also an after school care teacher for groups of 15+ children of all ages, for 1 year. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter on and off since 2019. These roles often involved helping children complete homework, bed time, play time, making lunch and school pick ups and drop offs. Additionally, I love cats, and I grew up with dogs, so I am more than capable of caring for them both. Plus, I speak Spanish.

Booked by 4 families in Howard Beach, NY

Hi, I’m Brianna and I am a preschool teacher in the Manhattan area offering occasional nannying services for toddlers/pre-K children, housework, and pet care. I’ve been teaching preschool for four years, but have had a lifetime of experience taking care of my younger siblings and cousins. I have a great passion for early childhood education and I love working with little ones. I can help with homework for younger children, housework, and any pets! (I have two dogs and a fish of my own). I love doing arts and crafts activities as well and would always love to spend an afternoon introducing children to different creative outlets! I have experience taking children on day trips, on public transport, navigating the city, and eating in public. I also have potty training experience as well and can help with that transition if needed. I’m a dedicated caregiver who wants to be an extra hand to families who need one every now and then!

Brianna was really professional and was so good at engaging with and interacting with my kid. They were respectful, knowledgeable and warm. Would absolutely hire again.

"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)."
