Booked by 1 family in Paterson, NJ

I have a dog that I take care of and I’ve been around them my whole life. I’d say I’m pretty good with pets but I’m most comfortable around dogs. I’m pretty active so I try to go on runs with my dog daily and try to fit in as much playtime I can in an hour.

Booked by 1 family in Paterson, NJ

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a dedicated, compassionate caregiver with many years of hands-on experience supporting elderly and disabled clients. As a young senior and a proud grandmother of two adorable children, caregiving comes very naturally to me. I am nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy providing comfort and support to those who need it most. Throughout my career, I have assisted 5–7 elderly and disabled clients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility support. I am experienced in monitoring and documenting vital signs, observing changes in a client’s condition, and reporting updates to healthcare providers to ensure the best possible care. I also take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every client I serve. I bring strong skills in medication administration, vital sign monitoring, first aid, and electronic health record systems. On a personal level, I am known for my patience, empathy, excellent communication, active listening, and problem-solving skills. I work well independently and as part of a team, and I am committed to treating every client with dignity, respect, and kindness. I believe these qualities make me an excellent fit and I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and heart to your Family.

Melody $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Melody. I am a Hispanic American who loves children and has been exposed to them for a truly long time. I am reaching to about 8 years of experience in childcare in the field, including church kid classes, daycare work, and personal full-time nannying work. In more detail, I have provided engaging care for children from the ages of 18 months to 12 in church, daycare, and private home settings. Furthermore, I planned and led activities including games, arts and crafts, music (through my singing and playing guitar), and interactive learning. To add on, I managed classrooms, encouraged creativity, and fostered a fun, nurturing environment. Specific experience includes work at Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church (2017), assisting a daycare called Sunlight Kids (2019), and full-time nannying in Columbus Circle, NY (2025). Here's a review from my most recent job: "To whom it may concern, Melody Acosta was a temporary caretaker for our 18-month-old daughter for nearly 3 weeks. As two extremely time-strapped executives, my husband and I work in busy environments with high stress and rely on professional, high-performing teams. Melody was an excellent addition to our team during her time with us. Melody was extremely professional and diligent right from the start. She made time to come before the official role began to study the daily routine of our daughter. That way, she would have a head start before the role began. During her time here, she was extremely dependable with a calm and helpful demeanor. Often she would arrive early or have to stay a bit later, and did so with a pleasant, mature demeanor. Her ability to take direction, feedback, and adapt quickly also stood out. She presented a desire to meet our needs and diligently took notes to ensure completion of tasks and pivoted when needed. She was proactive, often suggesting ideas for meals or activities. With our daughter herself, Melody was very interactive, singing, reading, and spending time with her caringly and lovingly. Melody would be an asset in any workplace. Thanks. Divya Sawhney"

"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."
