Raquel $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an active, extroverted, and creative sitter. I love being around kids and teaching them new things. I also enjoy watching their personalities grow and become more unique. I am comfortable with children of all ages from infant to middle school, but I have worked most of my time with toddlers and elementary. I have also worked with multiple children and pets as well. I do aid in children’s laundry, meal prep, and am available to assist in activities if needed. I also drive and enjoy taking the kids out to do fun activities that we may find.

After three years of experience with household cleaning, I’ve become confident, efficient, and consistent in how I maintain a clean and organized home. I no longer clean randomly or react only when things get messy—I follow routines that keep my space in good condition every day, while also scheduling deeper cleans so nothing is neglected. I understand which tasks need daily attention, like dishes, countertops, and general tidying, and which ones require weekly or monthly focus, such as bathrooms, floors, appliances, and storage areas. My experience shows most in my attention to detail. I’m mindful of high-touch areas like door handles, light switches, and remotes, and I don’t overlook corners, baseboards, or hard-to-see buildup. I know how to properly clean different surfaces—glass, wood, stainless steel, fabric—without damaging them, and I choose the right products and tools instead of relying on trial and error. Cleaning has become more deliberate and precise rather than rushed or surface-level. I’ve also developed strong time-management skills. I work efficiently, breaking tasks into manageable steps so cleaning doesn’t feel overwhelming. I can clean thoroughly without wasting energy, and I adapt my approach depending on the condition of the space or how much time I have. After three years, cleaning feels less like a chore and more like a practiced skill—one that allows me to maintain a consistently high standard of cleanliness, comfort, and order in my home.

Lola $25 per hour for 1 child

I was a nanny for the Merizalde family for many years, from 2007 to 2012. I cared for thirteen nieces and nephews who are now professionals, and I also cared for my two daughters, Priscilla and Yuriana. Priscilla has a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and Yuriana is a junior at Kean University. We have two pets: Sparky is the dog, and Mama is the cat. I earned my Associate of Occupational Science and Culinary Arts Certificate in 2001. I am patient, loving, responsible, reliable, and cheerful, with excellent childcare and interpersonal skills and extensive experience caring for children and seniors. I care for children as if they were my own. I like them to feel comfortable around me. I read books, play with them, take them to the park, do activities, and always follow their parents' instructions. From 2014 to 2019, I worked as an Executive Chef in nursing homes. Working with seniors, I learned to understand them better and recognize their needs. I would like to discuss your specific childcare needs. I am bilingual and I am willing to teach Spanish to children if you wish. I have clean driver record. I am able to cook meals, do simply cleaning, do laundry and errands.

"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."
