Booked by 4 families in Paterson, NJ

Hello, family! My name is Paula, and I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. Throughout my career, I have cared for babies, toddlers, and adolescents. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I consider myself calm, patient, caring, and dependable, and I enjoy helping children develop their skills at every stage of their growth. I also have extensive experience working with children with developmental disabilities and understand the importance of providing individualized, compassionate care. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with child-related tasks such as diaper changes, bathing, school or activity transportation, preparing children’s meals and snacks, doing children’s laundry, and helping with any other needs your family may have. References are available upon request. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family!

“Paula was gentle, caring, and responsive with our 2.5 month old. We will definitely book her again!”

Hi! I’m a professional nanny with 12+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I began working with children at 16 and have built a strong, reliable career in childcare ever since. I’m confident managing multiple children, maintaining routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, and providing calm, attentive care. Safety, communication, and consistency are always my top priorities, and I take pride in being dependable and proactive. I’m especially available for weekend care, including long days, evenings, and date nights.

Alexa $20 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest of 10, I grew up caring for babies and naturally became the “second mom.” I’m now a first-time mom to my 10 week old, so I’m very experienced with newborn care like feeding, diapering, soothing, and sleep routines. I understand infant cues and create a calm, nurturing environment. I bring my baby along, offering a built-in, age appropriate playmate and a social, home like setting. I also have 9 years of pet care experience, including work as a surgical veterinary technician. Your baby will be in patient, loving, and capable hands.

"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."
