Booked by 1 family in Newark, NJ

Hi - My name is Shania and I'm currently a paraprofessional for the Board of Education working with special needs children from ages 2-10 years old. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also worked as a household assistant as well as working for the board of Education and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I’m not allergic to any animals and comfortable to work with them.

Erica $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate education professional with experience working with children and students with disabilities. My educational background includes studying Psychology at Felician University, where I developed a strong interest in child development, behavior, and supporting individuals with different learning needs. I am continuing to pursue my goal of completing my education and becoming a certified Special Education teacher, with a particular interest in working with neurodivergent children. Since August 2022, I have worked as a Teacher Assistant with the Plainfield Public School District in New Jersey. In this role, I provide academic, behavioral, and emotional support to students with diverse needs. I work closely with teachers and other school professionals to help students participate in classroom activities, follow routines, develop independence, and feel safe and supported in their learning environment. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with students who require additional patience, structure, communication, and individualized support. My passion for working with children with special needs is also deeply personal. I am a parent of children with special needs, and my own experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges, strengths, and unique needs that children and their families may experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, compassion, advocacy, and the importance of celebrating every child's individual progress. It is one of the reasons I chose to dedicate my career to working with children who need additional support. I consider myself a loving and caring caregiver because I genuinely care about the well-being of every child I work with. I understand that children need more than supervision—they need patience, encouragement, understanding, consistency, and someone who will advocate for them. I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, accepted, and valued. I treat the children in my care with the same compassion and patience that I would want someone to show my own children. My personal and professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to education and caregiving. I want to continue growing professionally and eventually become a Special Education teacher who can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.

Jill $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jill! I’m a mom of two teen boys that has her own wellness business and is looking to fill hours here and there. Prior to owning my own business I worked for a management consulting company, specifically working in technology. I loved my job, but loved my kids more and needed more time with them. fast forward 6 years and they are now very independent and I find myself having more free time. I currently substitute teach when I’m not with my health and wellness coaching clients or running kids wellness parties & camps. I know exactly what it’s like to be a working mom with a high pressure job with young kids. I was fortunate to have my parents local to help me when I had a huge meeting and one of my kids ended up sick. I realize many parents don’t have that luxury. That’s why I’d love to be there to help parents out. Whether it’s an ongoing after school pick up situation or one off “help my child needs a ride to school today”, I’d love to be there. Looking forward to working together, Jill

"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."
