Booked by 2 families in Harrison, NJ

My name is Marie and I live in New York City. I am an experienced and dependable childcare provider with over 4 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I also have a Master’s degree in Public Health, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, health, and wellbeing. I previously worked as a daycare assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting young children. My responsibilities included changing diapers, feeding, preparing and washing bottles, helping with nap time, leading circle time, reading books, organizing age-appropriate activities, assisting with schoolwork, preparing snacks, and safely accompanying children to and from school. I truly enjoy working with children and being part of their growth and development. I love creating a safe and encouraging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I am focused, patient, versatile, caring, and dependable. Outside of childcare, I love going to museums, music concerts and reading books. I also speak French and English.

“Marie has been very helpful and reliable for us in taking care of a lot of chores around the house regularly!”

Hannah $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m 19 years old and graduated high school in 2025. I’m starting college this year and will be taking my coursework remotely, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to be very available to a family. I’m currently looking for a live in nanny/family assistant position I genuinely enjoy being around children and love getting to know their individual personalities, interests, and hobbies so I can create activities they truly enjoy. I’m happy to help with routines, homework, meals, playtime, bedtime, reading, creative activities, outdoor time, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m also happy to support the household while children are at school by handling laundry, organizing bedrooms and play areas, tidying, grocery shopping, errands, meal prep, and preparing things for their return from school. I’m proactive and like to notice what needs to be done without waiting to be asked. Because I’ll be studying remotely, I have an extremely flexible schedule and am available for family travel, overnight care, and schedule changes with advance notice. I’m not currently driving yet, but I’m very comfortable being active and walking longer distances, as well as using public transportation. I’m also willing to arrange and cover my own transportation when needed. I understand the importance of privacy, discretion, and respecting each family’s home and routines. I take their trust seriously and want parents to feel confident knowing their children are cared for. I’m dependable, eager to learn, and committed to becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I’m looking for a long-term role where I can become a trusted part of their routine. If you’re looking for more than just a babysitter, someone who can support your children while also helping your household run smoothly I’d love to connect.

Booked by 1 family in Harrison, NJ

Hi, my name is Najya, and I am a care taker. I have been doing senior care for six years and it has been a pleasure. I offer child care, senior care, and household care. I love working with children the most as they are what I specialize in. From infants to toddlers all of them, bring joy, and that’s what matters most to me. I can cook for young ones, clean after them, and bathe them. I have already raised three children of my own in their younger years bring so much happiness. Caring for young ones is part of the main reason I wanted to start studying to become a nurse! I also provide household help such as cleaning, running errands, laundering, and cooking. I feel that a good deep cleaning can make a house look and feel brand new. Coming home to a cleaned house can be so refreshing and relaxing to most people. I love helping people feel this way which is why I provide this skill. Running errands. Could be difficult task for working parents who need their products, groceries, and even household items on time. An even more difficult task is catching up with loads of laundry to do when you have a messy toddler or simply just a lot of clothes. One thing I love most is making warm, home-cooked meals for families to share. My skills come from cleaning after a family of five, grocery shopping for my family, and always making the best warm meals for my picky eater kids. As hard as it is to find the perfect meal that is tasty, healthy, and to their liking I always aim to satisfy! I have no allergies to dogs or cats so I am happy to sit for them. I am a previous owner of 2 cats who were high maintenance always needed to be brushed, showered, fed, and even taken out to parks. In my opinion they are just the cutest and deserving of a sitter. Moving to the topic of seniors, I have been working with them for a while now. They have always been a pleasure. I always find happiness in helping them finish a plate, or get up for a bath, or even get prepped for a gathering. What I intend from being a care taker is giving by best. Weather it be helping a baby be bathed or pet be combed or even a senior citizen be fed, I live for the warmth of caring for others. Which is why I want to move forward and help all with what ever skills are needed by my clients!!!

"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."
