Booked by 56 families in New York, 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.

Hi! I’m Mia, a student at Hunter College in NYC. I have experience helping families with childcare, school pickups, homework support, meal preparation, and household responsibilities. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and creating a positive environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. Whether it’s reading together, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, or simply being part of their daily routine, I always aim to make each day enjoyable and productive. I’m dependable, patient, and adaptable, and I understand that every family has different needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with pet care, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, and organization. I value being someone families can depend on and enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents through consistency, kindness, and open communication.

I am a UCLA graduate with a degree in sociology and lots of experience in early childhood learning. CURRENTLY: I am on a cross country road trip so I am only available for occasional or one time babysitting. Great for emergency or last minute needs. I have been doing babysitting and childcare for about 6 years now for family and friends. I have always been good with children. I am the oldest child and the oldest of most of my cousins so I have grown up watching kids. I have been housesitting for over a year now for many pet owners that go on vacation for any amount of time from 3 days to a week. I have been helping out seniors in my family for a while as well since 3/4 of my great grandmothers are still alive and are in need of assistance when it comes to daily tasks. I have grown up around big dogs and other animals so I am pretty experienced with walking dogs and caring for them.

"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)."
