I’m a certified and BLS-trained nursing student with a childcare certification and over 4 years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids handling feeding, meal prep, light cleaning, and creating fun, educational activities that promote growth and confidence. I’m patient, dependable, and calm under pressure, with a natural ability to connect and build trust. My nursing background ensures I’m attentive to safety, health, and emotional needs at all times. I’m also experienced in elder care, offering companionship, medication reminders, and mobility support. Whether it’s helping with homework, managing bedtime routines, or keeping pets happy and active, I treat every family as my own. I take pride in being reliable, professional, and caring someone you can truly depend on to keep your loved ones safe, engaged, and cared for.

Kashima was excellent and I would definitely recommend her to any family !

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."

"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)."
