Ben 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ben and I have a true passion for working with kids. With more than a year of experience, I provide patient, calm, and approachable care for up to three children, ranging from preschool age to teenagers. I have worked as a camp counselor at Rambling Pines in Hopewell and Camp NAC in Newtown. I have also worked as an Aftercare staff member at the Lawrence Elementary schools. My educational background informs my nurturing approach, and I hold both CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. I am a lifeguard which means I can also provide supervision for swimming. I recently graduated from Bucknell University (magna cum laude) as a Philosophy Major. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or exploring educational apps, I prioritize engaging activities. I always follow your lead regarding household rules and your preferred methods of communication. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my energy and care into your home, helping your children thrive every single day. I hope you have an amazing day!

“Ben has extensive experience with children both as a Camp counselor and as a lifeguard over many years. Everyone in our large extended family uses Ben for Babysitting services for children of all ages. Both boys and girls love him – he’s “super cool.“ I trust him with my kids in all kinds of activities, including swimming and driving he’s patient and never harsh. But he can always think of fun things to do! He should definitely be at the top of your Babysitting list . He’s now a college grad with an outstanding academic record in addition to all of his childcare experiences.”

I’m a proud mom to a 10-month-old and caring for children has always been my purpose and passion. I have experience nannying children from as young as 2 months old through 10 years old, and I truly love watching little ones learn, grow, and reach new milestones. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving your little one with. I strive to create a safe, loving, fun, and nurturing environment where every child feels cared for and supported.

“Thanks! ”

"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."
