Booked by 1 family in Kearny, NJ

Hi, I’m Dil! I love kids and have spent over 3 years as a preschool teacher, so I’m pretty hands-on when it comes to childcare, everything from daily routines to keeping little ones safe and happy. I’m also first aid and CPR certified, and I speak English, Spanish, and Russian fluently. I have a background in childhood development, and I genuinely care about helping kids grow and feel supported. I’d love the chance to meet you and your family, get to know your baby, and share a bit more about myself. Let me know if you’d like to connect!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Kearny, NJ

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an experienced caregiver and recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. I currently work full time as an Operations Specialist at a high school, where I support over 500 students and help manage the day to day systems that keep the school running smoothly. Alongside my professional role, I babysit part time because childcare has always been something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I have years of hands on experience caring for children of all ages, including babysitting for family, friends, and private clients. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play, organizing fun and enriching activities, helping with homework, or maintaining structured routines, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel supported and comfortable. I’m First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, so safety is always a top priority in my care. Additionally, I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese and am happy to communicate in whichever language best supports your family’s needs. Beyond childcare, I also have experience with pet care, so if you have furry family members, they’ll be well looked after too! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring community events, and playing chess. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Fabiana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fabian I recently moved to Manhattan after spending a year working at a daycare in Long Island 💖 I have experience caring for children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids and I absolutely love creating fun and meaningful moments with them. From arts and crafts to helping with homework or simply playing and making them laugh, I bring both structure and joy into their daily routine🫶🏻 While working at the daycare, I gained valuable hands-on experience and developed a deep understanding of children’s needs, especially in early childhood. I’m comfortable with dogs and other pets, and I’m happy to help with walking, feeding, or playtime. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and energetic, I’d love to be part of your family’s support system!

Marinez 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Marinez, I'm 28 years old, and I'm currently looking for a nanny position. I have over 5 years of experience working with children and infants. For the past 2 years, I worked full-time with one family caring for four children. When I started, the girls were 2 and 4 years old, and the boys were 8 and 9. It was an incredible experience filled with learning, affection, and growth, and now I feel ready to take the next step in my career. I have experience with infant care, including feeding, bottle preparation, sleep routines, and supporting developmental milestones. I am also comfortable with preschool drop-offs and pick-ups, planning activities, and navigating the city safely with children. I truly enjoy engaging kids in outdoor play, creative activities, and maintaining a consistent, healthy routine. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, a strong driver, and a non-smoker. I’m also very comfortable around dogs. I would describe myself as reliable, patient, proactive, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Warmly, Marinez

“She is a wonderful nanny—reliable, caring, patient, and great with children. She is very responsible and professional, and I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy to care for their kids.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
