Clara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clara, and I’m an 18-year-old recent high school graduate with four years of childcare experience. Caring for children has always been my greatest passion. Ever since I was young, I’ve dreamed of working with kids, and my long-term goal is to become a pediatric nurse. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages. Every family I’ve worked with has taught me something new and strengthened my love for childcare. I strive to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy reading stories, playing games, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and creating fun activities that keep children engaged. I’m a patient, responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who understands how important trust and communication are. I treat every child with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own family. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with families from different backgrounds. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with child-related tasks, including meal preparation, tidying up after activities, bedtime routines, and transportation when needed. I have multiple excellent references from families I’ve worked with, and they would be happy to share their experiences. I understand that choosing someone to care for your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make, and I would be truly honored to earn your trust and become a reliable, caring part of your family’s daily life.

Emerita D 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Colonia, NJ

Hello, my name is Emerita. I am 36 years old. I have two children, 16 and 11 years I love children I am very sweet and patient with them I like to read books, play, take them to the park. I have 3 years of experience and worked with 2 families, in a daycare also I can help with light cleaning . I have a driver's license and CPR&AID

“Emerita is an amazing nanny, and our family very fortunate to have found her. Our son had only known one nanny for all 3.5 years of his life and at that age was not taking too kindly to new people. However, when his first nanny went home overseas, Emerita was able to quickly and successfully take over what was quite a demanding job at the time: 6 days/week, 10 hours a day watching after our very active son including extensive trips away from the house at parks, beaches, the city, etc. Highly trustworthy, very friendly, and very adaptable to children....we strongly recommend Emerita for anyone seeking a nanny who is willing to adapt to your schedule and manage highly demanding toddlers.”

"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."
