Booked by 54 families in Woodhaven, NY

My name is Schnailah, and I bring a vibrant, enthusiastic, and open minded approach to babysitting. Growing up in Haiti, I developed a strong cultural foundation rooted in community, responsibility, and nurturing care. I was raised in a lively household surrounded by younger siblings and cousins, which gave me plenty of hands on experience with childcare and tutoring. As the eldest, I naturally took on a leadership role helping with homework, looking after their well being, and creating a supportive and encouraging environment. My passion for working with children extends beyond my family, as I also have formal babysitting experience. I have a dynamic personality, a love for adventure, and a genuine eagerness to learn, which helps me build meaningful connections with children while making sure they feel safe, supported, and engaged. I am currently a college student majoring in biology, with plans to attend dental school and become a pediatric dentist. Caring for children is not just a job for me it’s part of my long-term passion and future career, and I would love to bring that same care and dedication to your family.

Hi, I'm Myarra and I've lived my whole life in San Diego but recently just moved back from Santa Barbara! I’ve enjoyed every opportunity I’ve had to look after children and spend time with them! I’ve volunteered as a tutor for grades PreK-12 and took part in many community events like beach cleanups, marathons, etc., as well as worked as a lead counselor and supervisor for camps the past few summers. I worked at a local ice rink in both San Diego and Santa Barbara that is heavily involved with children and helped out with their figure skating academy lessons and hosted children's birthday parties! If you’re interested in my services, please feel free to reach out!

Reliable, on time! Responsive!

I am a 31 year old nanny originally from Colombia and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children. I have lived in the United States for the past 7 years, working as a nanny and improving my English. Taking care of kids is more than a job to me it is a true passion.

With parents permission, I like to share my culture and teaching basic Spanish to children. I have experience with children from newborns to 13 years old and have worked in both solo and nanny share positions. CPR certified and currently doing a postpartum doula course. Experience Highlights: • Aug 2021 – Apr 2023: Full-time nanny (newborn) • Apr 2023 – Jun 2024: Full-time nanny share ( 6 and 7 months old) • Jul 2024 – Apr 2025: Full-time nanny share ( 6 months old) • Jun 2025 – February 2026: Full-time nanny for twins ( 8 months old) • Apr 2026 – August 2026: Full-time nanny for a 3-year-old

Hi families! Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile☺️ My name is Kailyn, or just Kay! I am currently seeking part time, occasional, along with date night positions. New to UrbanSitter, however on multiple other platforms! I recently was a sitter to 2 girls on the UES (9&12)! I have experience from ages 3m -13y, Including children with ASD, Cerebral Palsy, and Down syndrome( UP syndrome✨)I have been employed at a sensory center, and I've also worked with long term families and enjoy building lasting relationships✨Caregiving has always been a part of my day to day, being the “babysitter” for family friends. So, naturally, I turned to childcare as a profession rather than a “hobby” at the age of 15! I am very personable, compassionate and caring and always take communicating with both parents and child(ren) as a priority. Some of the things I enjoy to do with my minis; I do like to go on a walk(weather permitting), play at the park, do arts/crafts, the library(Amazing classes+📚). Of course, I am open to follow which ever activities you would like me do with your child(ren).In addition to childcare, I am more than happy to lend a hand with household assistance, whether it is running errands, cooking(*When cooking in your home I am open and more than happy to accommodate dietary needs*) and/or tidying up around and laundry. I also love pets so a hand with pet care is not a problem; dog/cat sit, walk/feed :) ! I'm always looking forward to connecting with new families. It's important that we both feel we're the right match for one another! If you have any questions, please let me know, I look forward to hearing from you! Interests outside of caregiving⚖️- Content creation, trying new food places, shopping, wellness, brooklyn bridge pier walks, ALL the museums🖼️🎨🤖 - Spanish language speaker🇩🇴 -Basic Sign language 🤟🏽 References available upon request. Thank you!

"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)."
