Hi! I'm Shadiyah – a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver. I'm 34 years old, a proud Hunter College graduate, and a devoted mother to a teenage daughter who's now off following her dreams at boarding school in San Francisco. My passion for caretaking began in childhood, inspired by my grandmother’s nurturing example. Over the years, I’ve cared for many families across different communities, supporting children of all ages. In addition to babysitting, my responsibilities have included meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and transportation to and from after-school activities. I bring over a decade of experience working in the New York City public school system (Pre-K–12), along with more than 5 years in child welfare. These roles have equipped me with a deep understanding of children’s developmental and emotional needs. I believe in balancing structure with play and love creating fun, educational activities that support both learning and creativity. I use positive discipline and gentle guidance, but I can be assertive when needed. I'm also a lifelong animal lover and pet owner—currently the proud mom of a sweet dog—so I’m happy to care for furry friends as well. It brings me great joy to support a child's growth, exploration, and imagination. I’d be honored to be part of your family's journey and look forward to meeting you soon!

Nice to meet you! I’m a 26-year-old with a wealth of experience in childcare and informal education. I have worked as a sitter/nanny for several families with school-aged kids (mostly 4-15) over the past 10 years, including children with disabilities. I am a former sleepaway camp counselor, lifeguard, and swim instructor. I have also tutored elementary students in English while abroad and worked as a teaching assistant in my local synagogue throughout high school, though I am not a particularly religious person. Some of my interests include arts and crafts, the outdoors, board games, reading and writing, cooking, and baking. I am also a cat owner and grew up with dogs so I am more than happy to help out with pets! My affect has been described as warm, wise, and practical, and I pride myself on my strong ability to place myself in another person’s shoes, as well as being a very responsible problem solver who is quick on their feet. I have also worked in food service, which can attest to my ability to work with a positive attitude even in fast-paced, high-stress situations, though caring for your child/ren will likely be much less stressful than working in a New York City restaurant! I would love the opportunity to talk and meet your family to see if we would be a good fit for one another’s needs and preferences.
