Booked by 4 families in Columbus, NJ

Hello! I’m Mi’Angel (Pronounced My angel, but you can call me Mya if it’s easier!) And i’m currently a senior in college at Rutgers university. I’m honored to have the opportunity to babysit for your family! I’m very kind, energetic, and I love to learn. I have strong time management skills and I have lots of experience working with children. Including babysitting my 8 nephews ranging from age 0-6, and working at a summer camp when I was 13-14. I’m also extremely patient and have experience with children with special needs. I also love animals! So pets are not a problem for me. I also have a very reliable car so transportation isn’t a problem either. I’m excited to work with you and make things easier for your family while you’re away and busy. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

“Miangel was incredible! She looked after my 21 month old son and was so sweet. Will definitely be booking her again ”

Maegen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My names Maegen and I'm a 39 year old stay at home mom. I have 3 kids myself from the ages of 9 to almost 13. I love being a stay at home mom and I feel like its my true calling to be a caretaker. Being a parent and raising my kids has been the most fulfilling thing for me thus far. Now that i dont have little babies anymore, id love to branch out and help other families. I know firsthand how hard it is to find good, reliable child care. My youngest son is autistic so I therefore also have experience with special needs kiddos.

Tristan $20 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds is my passion, and I have spent the last three years dedicated to working with children. In addition to my babysitting experience, I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support to toddlers with autism. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create structured, supportive environments that help children learn and thrive. I am friendly, dependable, and experienced in caring for children of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I have completed coursework in Early Child Development and am certified in CPR and First Aid. I believe in open communication with parents and am happy to adapt to your preferred method of communication while always respecting your household rules and routines.

"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."
