Booked by 1 family in Edison, NJ

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! ”

Letícia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I'm Leticia, a dedicated and nurturing nanny with over five years of experience working with children of all ages. First of my 5 years I worked with kids at school, learning a lot about child development, until I came to the US and started working with child care exclusively. My background as a teacher has equipped me with valuable skills in creating engaging and educational activities tailored to each child's needs. I believe in creating a warm and loving environment where children can thrive. My approach is patient and understanding, allowing kids to express themselves and explore their interests. I have a knack for engaging activities that spark imagination, whether it's through arts and crafts, storytelling, or outdoor adventures. I'm committed to a positive and supportive atmosphere where children feel safe and valued. I look forward to bringing joy, creativity, and care to your family!

Booked by 1 family in Edison, NJ

I'm Zarahi, I am a very adventurous person always looking for a thrill. I am very compassionate, caring, cheerful and openminded. I've always been drawn to working with kids. My first experience started off in 8th grade when I volunteered to elementary school children with their homework at my local elementary school, to then at age 14 assisting with the children at my church, giving them lessons and plan activities for them. Then eventually starting my childcare journey after high school when looking for a job to present time. Within these years I've gained experience with children ages 0-12. Working with children is very fulfilling and beautiful.

“Zarahi is always on time and courteous. She does an amazing job with our sons and they always look forward to her coming. She is willing to help out and is now a part of our extended family. We enjoy having her.”

"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."
