$28 per hour for 1 child

My name is Aisha Balonfentse and I'm from Staten Island, New York. I've always been surrounded by children and have developed a genuine love for caring for and working with kids of all ages. Im a graduate of Curtis High school & have also attended College of Staten Island majoring in psychology which gave me valuable knowledge about health, development, and overall well being. Currently Im an Experienced nanny with 4+ years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. Skilled in managing daily routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, planning age-appropriate activities, school pickups & drop offs, household organization and maintaining a safe & fun environment. Im patient and dedicated to supporting children's growth, development, and overall well-being. I’m also a big sister to 4 younger siblings that I have helped raise since I was 15. One of the things I enjoy most about being a nanny is spending quality time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I love engaging in activities, organizing play dates, and encouraging positive social interactions that help build confidence and ensure they develop strong friendships and social skills. Seeing the smiles on their faces and knowing that I have helped make their day enjoyable is meaningful to me. I strive to ensure a safe & happy space where children feel supported, valued, and excited to explore the world around them. In addition to nannying, I have experience working as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA), where I provided compassionate, attentive support to individuals with various needs. I am patient, responsible, nurturing, and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment. Building strong relationships with both children and families is something I value deeply and I take pride in creating a caring and trustworthy atmosphere for everyone I work with.

Aisha is incredibly dependable and trustworthy. I have always been able to count on her to show up on time, follow instructions, take my daughter to school safely as well as pick her up safely. My daughter adores her, and I have complete confidence in her ability to care for her safely.

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.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
