Sherlyne $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sherlyne, and I’m a dependable, responsible caregiver with a background in psychology and law. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Juris Doctor, and I’m currently taking a planned break from my professional work, which allows me to dedicate focused time and energy to childcare. I bring a calm demeanor, strong judgment, and excellent communication skills to every family I work with. I offer babysitting and childcare services for date nights, evenings, weekends, and occasional or short-term care. I’m comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals, managing bedtime routines, and maintaining a safe, organized environment. I have experience working with school-age children and teens and approach caregiving with structure, patience, and attentiveness to each child’s individual needs. I enjoy engaging children in reading, educational games, creative activities, and calm, screen-limited play. I’m safety-conscious, detail-oriented, and value open communication with parents. My goal is to create a positive, supportive environment where children feel secure and parents feel confident leaving their children in my care.

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)

I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while keeping things fun. I also make sure to keep parents updated in whatever way works best for them. I have a car, I'm good with pets, and I speak both English and Portuguese. I'd love to get to know your family!

"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."
