Meet Manisha

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I recently relocated to Shawnee, KS from Boston, MA. I have over 16 years of experience caring for children aged four weeks to 16 years and am comfortable caring to up to four children at a time. I am seeking regularly scheduled part-time or occasional sitting opportunities. I was previously a sitter for Sittercity's on-demand sitter service from 2015 - 2019. Through this service I completed over 200 sittings and maintained a 5.0 star rating based on more than 100 reviews. From 2020 - 2021, I was a full-time nanny for two children. During this time, I also facilitated the oldest child's kindergarten online learning program. Safety is my first priority and fun is my second. I am trained in first aid and infant and child CPR. As for fun, I know plenty of songs, games, and crafts from 8 years of summer camp. I was also a camp counselor. Read more There's time for work too. When parents are away, I can provide homework help/supervision. I have three semesters of professional tutoring experience. And of course, if your little one is sleeping, I can also provide household services such as laundry and dishes. So whether you have an obligation or just need time for yourself, contact me at (603) 540-8806. I'd love to meet you and your little one :)

Manisha was great - she cane off as super professional and prepared. She asked questions about allergies and medications, kept me updated on how the kids were eating and playing via text, and even cleaned our dishes while the kids were sleeping! Would definitely recommend her.

Manisha has babysat for us for a few times now and she was crowned "favorite babysitter" by my oldest son. She's fun for our boys, but keeps them on a schedule....and even handles disasters (through no fault of her own!) like an old pro. We are very grateful for her to come and its our pleasure to have her!

Manisha was wonderful! You could feel her positive energy the minute she walked in the door. She was professional, playful and beyond sweet with our 7 month old.

We are so lucky to find Manisha. Our almost one year old son loved her accompanying very much. She read to him, played with him, put him down for a nap and even helped with the dishes. I also love her friendly and warm personality and smile! She is perfect!

I can't say enough good things about Manisha. She is on top of her babysitting game. We were traveling to Boston from NYC and needed a babysitter for 3 nights. Manisha got in touch with us before the trip and asked us a series of questions so that she could be prepared. She had a checklist when we met, making sure she that she had all the information she needed and all the items, like a toothbrush and a sound generator, that we had talked about. We have a 19-month old girl, and she took to Manisha practically immediately. Manisha did all sorts of fun activities before bed, and our daughter learned some new things through play. By the third time, when Manisha showed up, our daughter was practically shooing us out the door. We are very, very picky parents, but we would hire her again, and recommend her, in a heartbeat. She's professional, fun, communicates well, and is prepared for every eventuality.

This was our second sitting with Manisha and she is great! She's very caring, personable, bubbly and enthusiastic. She kept us updated via text on the happenings at home. She even washed the dishes in our sink, which was a pleasant surprise!

Manisha is the best babysitter I've had in a while. She is warm and friendly, but beyond that, she is very attentive to the details. She sent a great message beforehand and took notes as I went through the routine. The boys quickly warmed to her after their initial meeting, and I left feeling great. Then, Manisha sent me an update text after the boys were in bed to let me know things went fine. It was a great, comforting experience, and I look forward to using her again.

Manisha was great, engaged with our 7'year old son, but knew how to handle our two year old daughter too. Punctual as well!

Sittercity Parent

Manisha was great! She knew exactly what questions to ask to ensure she knew what our son needed, and knew what to do in case of emergency. She somehow made him feel comfortable immediately (he literally lunged into her arms) and was so sweet playing with him. So happy we found this app- and Manisha!
