Hello, I'm Tiffany! I'm 29 years old from New Jersey. My childcare experience began with mommy-helping at age 12 then independently babysitting at age 17. I have traveled the tri-state area and worked with children all ages from infancy to teenagers. I have also worked with many individuals who had varying specials needs. I always give my all when I'm interacting with children, and my goal is to always leave the entire family feeling safe and happy! I am CPR/AED Certified, been fingerprinted by the state of New Jersey, have my own car and most importantly can supply excellent references! I work many jobs but I always have time to help new families for date night, parties, sick days, etc. Please feel free to reach out to me!

“Tiffany was absolutely amazing! She juggled two infants like it was no big deal! She is a super babysitter and I would recommend her with the highest level! She watched our babies at my sisters wedding! What a gem! I cannot wait to use her in the future if I’m ever in town again. Thanks Tiffany! You saved the day! ”

Hi ya’ll, I’m Meka! 🍁FALL 2026❗️ 🍂Parents/Guardians get ready to go 👣 out & enjoy yourselves! (I’ll even tag along to provide care for the children!) I’m available for 🛤outings, ⛲️date-night, 🏟events, work etc. I live in 🌆 Manhattan. It’s always important for you to have alone time/adult time/me-time. Being a Parent is hard work so giving yourself some time dedicated just for you, is important❗️ I adore working with children. I want to be that “safe space/person” that children can talk to & feel comfortable. So much trauma occurs at a young age & sometimes doesn’t show up until adulthood. I’m passionate about mental health. & I have experience with those that are with special needs. (Also helping assist family members on the spectrum). I work in the PCICU as a CNA 🏪 & I’m CPR certified. I do have a teen of my own. Don’t be alarmed🚨I look young in person! 💁🏾‍♀️🧬 but hey, the kiddies gravitate towards me since I look young! I’ll be with them on the playground obstacles and jungle gyms! I understand the anxiety of leaving your children with other people. That’s why I LOVE when there’s cameras 📷 in the home❗️IF anything were to happen, we can watch the tape 📼 together, no problem! 🙂 🚨Please state at the time of booking, if your child is sick. So I can choose whether or not I want to proceed with the job. I do want to protect my other families that I work with as well as myself & mine.🚨 If you cancel last minute, you agree to pay half of the total pay amount agreed. Another family could have booked me. I’ve had many last minute cancellations, and declined other families that I could have cared for. 👍🏾PLEASE leave a review after a job is done. It helps not only myself, but I’m sure you’d feel better reading feedback from other parents experience. Thanks so much❗️😊

“Meka was awesome!! Clear communication, thoughtful, and all-around great. It was our first time booking with Meka (and with urbansitter)…would book with her again!”

Booked by 76 families in Garfield, NJ

I grew up in New York City with a younger brother in an arts driven, multicultural family. My passions are language, grounding in nature, traveling, epicurean adventures, cooking, wellness and the arts. Along with my work in childcare, I am a published fine artist working in photography. I believe kids can teach us a lot with their curiosity, wisdom and free spirits. I always learn something new about myself in the company of children and I’ve worked with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I find them totally inspiring for my own creative work. I am also a big believer in families and have been offering them support through nurture, protection and care for nearly two decades. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and ability to support families through Doula studies. I seek connection with compassionate and kind families who value the contribution of caregivers~ those who know the work of care is a beautiful act of service that upholds the wellbeing of our collective. *Please be honest in your post or when we speak whether you have a sick child. A sick child rate is available, discussed and agreed upon at hire.

“Nora helped me out when I needed it most. She was very reliable and I felt like my kids were in good hands. I plan to ask her for her services in the future. My kids really enjoyed spending time with Nora.”

Hi Beautiful People, My name is Youmie. I am an entrepreneur and confidence builder living in NYC. I have been a nanny/sitter for over 15 years. I absolutely love kids! I love calm and cool kids, but I especially love kids who are sassy, expressive, and full of personality. I love making kids feel seen, heard, and understood, so I am very patient. When caring for a child, I love to give them attention and keep them stimulated, but I am also very disciplined, so I strive to provide a balance. I also have extensive experience as a night nanny for newborns. My background is in education and dance. I went to school to be a teacher. I speak 4 languages fluently. I love reading trilogies, I love being outdoors and discovering new things to do, and I love food. I also love educating and introducing children to new languages, cultures, art, and fun! I think it's very important to help children build confidence in who they are, starting very young. It helps a lot with self-esteem, bullying, and thinking for themselves. That's a personal passion of mine that I often teach each child in my care. I adore an inquisitive child. Affirmations are a daily thing with me if your child is with me. I have extensive experience with one child as well as multiples, especially twins. So I'm not afraid of working with multiple children. I also love working with new parents dealing with postpartum. I offer overnights, as well as getaways. In addition to being a nanny, I have experience in caretaking for adults and seniors. I love keeping seniors company. My recent caretaking job was close to home. My uncle had a stroke, and I helped aid him back to health. I love walking, conversing, exploring the city, and learning from seniors. I would be happy to help and support your family. I believe in the idea that it takes a village, and I'd love to help you out if you'll have me. I welcome any questions. If you're interested, please send me a note. Happy hunting! I hope you find someone amazing for your family.

“Wonderful! My children loved her. She is very fun and personable but professional and very reliable.”

"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."
