Booked by 2 families in Brookside, NJ

Creating a nurturing and engaging environment for children is my passion. For the past three years, I've enjoyed providing reliable care to families, supporting their needs with patience and a calm demeanor. I hold a college degree and am comfortable caring for one child, ages newborn to 11. My approach involves fostering creativity through imaginative play, educational games, and outdoor activities. I'm happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, and swimming supervision, as I am a skilled swimmer. I communicate regularly with parents via text or phone, always respecting their preferred method. Enforcing household rules is something I'm very comfortable with. I am First Aid and CPR Training certified. Ultimately, I want to bring joy and peace of mind to your family. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your little one!

“So professional and flexible!”

I am a responsible and caring Duke University student with experience working with children in academic and recreational settings. I enjoy helping kids feel safe, supported, and engaged, whether that means assisting with homework, reading together, playing outside, or keeping daily routines on track. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each child's needs. My background in education has strengthened my interest in child development and effective communication with both children and parents. I am also organized, punctual, and comfortable managing schedules, bedtime routines, and light household tasks related to child care.

Hi, my name is Carine, and I’m an energetic and creative 28 year old! I have my associates degree in history and am just shy of having enough credits for an associates in early childhood education as well. I will be continuing to obtain my bachelors degree soon in hopes of pursuing a career in teaching.  I have been nannying professionally for the last 5 years. I recently moved back from New Jersey, where I was a live in nanny for 2 years. I worked for that family, which consisted of 3 boys aged 2, 4, and 6, for the last 4 years. I was responsible for: school and extracurricular pickups and drop-offs, meals, after-school help, occasional nighttime routines, and occasional overnights. I have worked for quite a few families in the last 5 years with children that ranged from newborn to 12 years old. Please feel free to request references! My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to face. I have my own car, I’m a nonsmoker, and I am comfortable with pets of any kind. I look forward to meeting you!

I have also done private nannying. Children is my passion and that’s what I absolutely love to do. I treat old children as if they were my own. I show them respect. I show them love kindness. Every child deserves to be treated with respect.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
