Booked by 4 families in Elmwood Park, NJ

Hello, family! My name is Paula, and I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. Throughout my career, I have cared for babies, toddlers, and adolescents. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I consider myself calm, patient, caring, and dependable, and I enjoy helping children develop their skills at every stage of their growth. I also have extensive experience working with children with developmental disabilities and understand the importance of providing individualized, compassionate care. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with child-related tasks such as diaper changes, bathing, school or activity transportation, preparing children’s meals and snacks, doing children’s laundry, and helping with any other needs your family may have. References are available upon request. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family!

Booked by 2 families in Elmwood Park, NJ

Hi! My name is Stella, and I currently work with Jovie Caregiving, where I’ve gained hands-on experience providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate childcare for families. I am also currently in nursing school with a strong interest in pediatrics and neonatal care, so working with children is something I’m truly passionate about both personally and professionally. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids through creative activities, games, and interactive learning. I’m also happy to assist with homework, daily routines, meal preparation, and cooking. My goal is always to make children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands!

“Stella is absolutely lovely. She arrived early for a last minute booking, asked very thoughtful questions ahead of the booking, and was very attentive and engaging with my son. You can really tell she is a professional nanny. We will definitely book her next time we are in Newark. ”

"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."
