Hi, my name is Alejandra, i’m 22 years old. I love working with children because I enjoy their company, as it allows me to be creative, learn from them and help them grow in a safe and fun environment. In addition, I believe that my communication skills and patience allow me to build a relationship of trust with children and their parents. My responsibilities included drive, cook, do crafts and different activities with the children. Additionally, I work as a household, performing tasks such as cooking, cleaning and running errands.

“Alejandra is the best! Positive, fun, so kind, organized... my kid liked her immediately and had so much fun 💓 Now I just wished she lived a little closer 😄”

Booked by 1 family in Elmwood Park, NJ

Hi. My name is Maridania and I am currently in my senior year at UCLA. I provide childcare, senior care, and housekeeping services. I love being a nanny and have cared for newborns, babies, toddlers, and children (even twins!) since I was 15. My responsibilities have included dropping off and returning to school, doing crafts, tutoring, and even teaching dance classes. I also work as a home helper and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have cared for my own grandparents and am comfortable with caring for seniors. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other chores. (I am also a great coworker!)

"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."
