Electrons in s-robital shielding outer electrons

Why do electrons present in spherical shaped s-orbital shield the outer electrons from the nucleus more effectively as compared to electrons present in p and subsequent orbitals?
Please explain in a layman language I'm just in class 11th. :/
 
Consider what the S and P orbital look like:

Diagram of orbital shapes: a red spherical s orbital labelled s with x, y and z axes at top, and three yellow-orange lobed p orbitals labelled p_x, p_y and p_z below, each lobe aligned along its axis.


Electrons in the S orbital hang out around the center of the atom, hence providing a pretty good shield. You can see the electrons in the P orbitals are kinda hanging out on the side of the atom often straight out in the x, y or z direction.
 
But why and how would being around the nucleus affect shielding effect?
