Booked by 3 families in Woodhaven, NY

My name Is Alissah . I am a nursing student, currently finishing my BSN. I speak English and French. Some major personality traits that I have are that I am a good listener, I love to make people laugh, I love hosting play dates and expanding my creativity through arts and crafts. I love to sing, paint and read. As a nursing student I have gained some skills such as organization, observation, communication. One of the great trait that I have is patience as I have gotten to deal with kids of all ages in the hospital and tend to their needs. I would love to continue being a caregiver to kids because I can bring those skills and personality traits to light by helping them expand their creativity, provide them with an energetic and fun environment, and tends to their needs. I place a high value on relationships, whether they be with my family, friends, or coworkers. The most satisfying aspect of my work is knowing that I've had a beneficial influence in addition to developing a relationship with the children.

“I will be hiring Alissah again and again! She did so well with my 17-month old son and she was so very worth it. She has a great energy about her from the moment she came in! ”

How’s it going , When it comes to raising four boys at home, The safety awareness skills you learn while mothering your own children will stay with you throughout your life. Racing my four boys taught me the stages of childhood development and what to expect at different ages. These skills are useful when working with kids at any time in the future and especially if you are planning on working with children to make living! How to entertain children With enough motherhood skills plus caring for other children, you can have child-entertaining down to a fine art. You can quickly become a master of playing, reading, singing, drawing, improvising, and having fun. Children get sick a lot (particularly when attending childcare centers), so caring for them when they are not well is something you will pick up right away. There are many tactics to know that can make a child feel more comfortable, loved, and to help them recover quicker. You can also learn how to prevent the spread of germs and stop other people from getting sick, including yourself! Helping children to understand their emotions, manage their feelings, and learn the difference between right and wrong behavior is challenging, but it is also a rewarding experience. There are many subtleties to learn and every family may have a slightly different set of disciplinary values they wish to uphold. Sometimes children are prone to tantrums. You can learn to pre-empt trigger situations, and how to plan around them. You can learn the art of distraction (very powerful) and if a tantrum does occur, you can learn how to stay calm in stressful situations while remaining firm with your principles. Child encouragement and motivation strategies! Explaining why things need to be done! Building trust, and; Leading by example. These learned strategies can be invaluable in your day-to-day when dealing with children. I hope this answers some of your questions and please to hesitate to contact me if you are willing to meet. I have excellent references available upon request. My references can attest to my dedication, reliability, and the positive impact I have had on the children I have cared for. Have a bless day....

Hello, my name is Amsatou! I’m a cheerful, caring, and reliable babysitter with over 8 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages, including those with special needs. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and very organized. I love keeping kids engaged and active—whether that’s playing outside, doing creative games, reading stories, or helping them explore their imagination. I’m also CPR certified, fluent in English and French (with some Spanish and other dialects), and enjoy introducing little ones to new words and fun learning moments. I’m currently a student at Monroe College majoring in Accounting, and I previously tutored math and economics, so I’m happy to help with homework too! I also love cooking and can prepare healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. Light housekeeping, tidying up, and even pet care are no problem. Most importantly, I take childcare as a big responsibility and pride myself on being present, dependable, and trustworthy. Your children’s safety, happiness, and growth will always be my top priority. I look forward to bringing energy, kindness, and fun to your family!

"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)."
