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.”

I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience providing compassionate, reliable care to children, seniors, and pets. My childcare experience spans all stages of development—from infancy through adolescence—where I’ve supported children’s growth through nurturing attention, structured routines, and creative play. I’m comfortable handling daily care needs such as feeding, diapering, homework assistance, and organizing enriching activities that promote learning and emotional well-being.

Eliana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've worked in childcare for about nine years. I love watching kids and seeing them learn and grow every day. Kids have always brightened my day and remind me why I love working with them as much as I do. I worked for the YMCA at their aftercare program and summer program. My responsibilities for aftercare were making sure kids completed their homework, had fun activities planned and were safe. For the summer program, I was a music teacher and taught kids from 3-8 years old. I can cook, drive or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

A nurturing, responsible, and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborn through elementary age is seeking a full-time position. I am currently pursuing my degree in Elementary Education and bring a strong passion for helping children grow, learn, and develop through play, reading, structured routines, and creative activities. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

“We had a wonderful experience with Libby. My son absolutely loved her as a babysitter. She was playful, attentive, and genuinely caring, and she was very responsive to his needs. Libby was always punctual, often arriving early, and consistently reliable when we needed her. She engaged my son thoughtfully and made him feel comfortable and happy. We will absolutely be rebooking her and highly recommend her to other families.”

"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)."
