Hi there! It’s great to meet you, I’m Valentina, a former NYC nanny and long-time NYer who is coming out of nanny retirement while I figure out next steps in my career. I recently moved to North Jersey and am looking to meet new families in the area! I am a very caring and proactive nanny in terms of safety and avoiding tantrums, I love kids, and am so happy to have a niece and nephew now! I have an excellent track record and recent /additional references available upon request. I speak Spanish and love to do crafts and games with kids, and have extensive experience with multiple kids at once, infants and kids of all ages. I am happy to take kids on any adventures, to museums or to the pool or ferry. I also have experience teaching kids and people of all ages how to swim, if that is of interest as well! I taught swim lessons at the Peddie School in NJ for many years, and was a former lifeguard. I am looking forward to connecting and meeting your family! -Valentina

I can tell she is super engaging. Valentina was also on time and communicative.

Hi! My name is Laura, and I’m a caring and responsible nanny based in New Jersey. I have experience working closely with children of different ages, and what I truly love about it is how naturally they connect to movement, creativity, and play. I bring a calm, attentive, and positive energy, creating a safe space where kids feel comfortable, seen, and engaged. I have a background in dance and body awareness, which allows me to connect with children in a more intuitive and playful way — whether it’s through movement, creative activities, or simply being present with them. I’m reliable, patient, and very mindful of each child’s unique personality and needs. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease, so I always prioritize clear communication and trust.

Laura was fantastic with our two kids. She arrived promptly and immediately connected with the children, while in ‘listening mode’ as to schedule and the plan for the day, which she followed perfectly. She was super warm and engaging, and I felt very confident in the care she was giving. She was able to manage two children with ease and calm, and they both loved her. We would definitely use Laura again!

"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."

"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."
