Charlotte $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I'm an 18-year-old babysitter based in Weehawken, NJ. I hold CPR and Babysitting Certifications from the American Red Cross and have six years of hands-on experience with children of all ages — from newborns and toddlers to preteens up to age 11. I bring more than just childcare to the table. I'm happy to help with light cooking, cleaning, and keeping the home tidy while you're away. With nine years of martial arts training, I'm calm under pressure and fully capable of keeping every child in my care safe and protected. I love keeping kids active and engaged — whether that means a trip to the park, a fun activity, or just making the most of an afternoon at home. Whatever the day calls for, I show up ready. I'm a licensed driver, available all summer on weekdays and weekends, and open to relocating wherever I'm needed. I'd love to be a dependable, positive sitter for your family! (I attend Highschool from 8am-3pm till June 18th)

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a recent graduate of Bennington College where I studied Visual Arts and Poetry. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services! I love being a babysitter. I took care of the same family all throughout high school (4 years) watching two toddler-aged into kid-aged children and a dog. My responsibilities included helping with homework, doing crafts, transportation to/from extracurricular activities, walking the dog, and playing by the pool. For the past two summers I have worked as a camp counselor for ages ranging 5-12 years old. Both being out in nature, I have experience supervising children at lakes and oceans, leading hiking, and creating/teaching arts and crafts activities. I feel passionate about fostering creativity within kids through art! I have 10+ years experience volunteering with children with developmental and behavioral special needs. I am trained in behavior management and feel equipped to handle most cases. I am offering pet and household services as well. I have grown up with multiple cats and dogs so am used to animals and love them! I can do household tasks as well including cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for plants. I am First-Aid and CPR certified!

I’m a Montclair student who loves tech, swimming, and dancing. I’ve spent over three years helping care for a younger family member, sometimes being in charge of meals, playtime, and daily routines.

I take pride in being trustworthy and hardworking, always willing to step in when needed. My hobbies include swimming and dancing, which keep me energetic and focused.

"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."
