Booked by 8 families in New York, NY

Hello! My name is Shaday, and I am an experienced and dedicated nanny/babysitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience providing exceptional childcare. My passion for nurturing and guiding children has equipped me with a wide range of skills that ensure their safety, growth, and well-being in a trusting and caring environment. Parents can feel confident leaving their little ones in my care, knowing that I prioritize creating a loving, educational, and fun atmosphere. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing nutritious meals, or organizing engaging activities, I am committed to supporting both the children and the family's needs. Looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to your family’s life!

Shaday has babysat for us twice and she is punctual and friendly. While we were away, she responded quickly to inquiries about how little one was doing. Our little one is very hesitant about strangers, but seems to really like Shaday. And was genuinely sad to see her leave.

Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

Hi - I'm Lila and I'm a born and raised New Yorker spending my summer in the city before starting at University of St. Andrews in Scotland in September. I'm offering part-time child and/or pet care, along with light housekeeping. I love kids and have previous experience babysitting ages 3-9 years old. I grew up attending a local private school, and I'm experienced with the after-school pick-up and lesson commute! I like doing creative activities with kids - playing, reading, dancing, and arts & crafts. (When working as a docent in a museum I worked with kids and created a museum scavenger hunt!). I'm also a cat lover and owner with significant feline experience. I can also work with families with dogs.

Lila is very knowledgeable about cat and we have great first impression about her.

Ayodele $25 per hour for 1 child

With over twenty years of experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and needs including medically complex and special needs care. I bring a calm, reliable, and highly professional presence to every home and team I support. My background is unique in that it bridges caregiving, household management, personal assistance, and military service. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I developed a strong sense of discipline, responsibility, and crisis response that continues to guide my work. More recently, I have provided specialized one-on-one care for a child with complex medical and developmental needs, supporting daily routines, therapy sessions, medical coordination, and emotional regulation with both structure and compassion. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked as a House Manager and Personal Assistant, managing schedules, travel, confidentiality, and day-to-day home operations. I am known for being proactive, highly organized, and deeply respectful of family dynamics and privacy. I understand that trust is the foundation of this type of work, and I take that responsibility seriously. I bring warmth, consistency, and professionalism to every role. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive and families feel supported. I would be honored to contribute my experience, dedication, and care to your home.

"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)."
