$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Whitestone, NY

Hi! I'm Shadiyah – a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver. I'm 36 years old, a proud Hunter College graduate, and a devoted mother to a teenage daughter who's 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!

Calia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hellooo! I'm a compassionate, dependable nanny with over 6 years of experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun while feeling supported and cared for. I have experience providing daily care, preparing meals, bottles, and snacks, supporting homework and learning routines, planning age-appropriate activities such as reading, crafts, and outdoor play, and managing bath time, bedtime, and morning routines. I also assist with light housekeeping, laundry, and organization to help keep the household running smoothly. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and known for my patience, reliability, and strong communication skills. I have strong cultural awareness and enjoy working with diverse families. I am also willing to travel to work in or outside of New York. I have experience caring for children from infancy through age 10, including infant care such as bottle preparation, diapering, and soothing. My goal is to provide dependable care, peace of mind for parents, and positive, meaningful experiences for the children in my care. One of the reasons I love working with children is that every day brings something new. Their curiosity, creativity, and unique personalities make spending time with them incredibly rewarding. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where children can feel comfortable, learn, play, and simply be themselves. Building meaningful connections with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy is something I find incredibly rewarding. It’s a privilege to be a positive part of their day and to earn the trust of both children and parents.

“Having Dani watch Lilah was an absolute joy. My daughter adored her. I'm a single mom with a 10 year old who has to hustle in LA so I really needed an attentive and loving sitter and Dani answered that call. Was great at communication, very warm, patient, and attentive to my little girl. There was even an occasion that a shoot ran late and I had to have Dani stay after hours and she was so understanding and accommodating. A literal lifesaver. I can tell she loves what she does. I really think Lilah built such an attachment to her!”

Nilysha $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nilysha 😊 I’m currently a nursing student with a passion for caring for others, especially children. I’ve always loved being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I have experience working with children as both a swim instructor and lifeguard, which taught me patience, responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm and attentive in all situations. I’m also CPR/BLS certified and currently gaining hands-on experience through pediatric and maternity nursing clinicals as I work toward my dream of becoming a NICU nurse practitioner one day. I also grew up as the youngest in a big family and have 10 nephews ranging from toddlers to teenagers, so I’ve been surrounded by kids my whole life! Being involved in their lives has helped me learn how to connect with different personalities and age groups while always being caring, dependable, and understanding. I would describe myself as bubbly, kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I enjoy activities like arts & crafts, reading, movies, games, homework help, and simply making kids feel comfortable and entertained while keeping safety the top priority. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your children, and I always strive to make families feel supported and at ease 😊

"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)."
