Lishayra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lishayra and I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 7 years of experience working with children of all ages. I spent 5 years in a daycare setting and the past 2 years as a private nanny. I also hold an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, which has helped me create fun, age-appropriate activities that support children’s learning and development. I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids can learn and grow. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with household chores, homework, light cooking, and cleaning to make family life run smoothly. I’m comfortable with dogs but allergic to cats. Families describe me as patient, organized, and full of positive energy. I love becoming part of the family team and making each day both fun and structured for the children I care for.

Hello, I'm Tiffany! I'm 29 years old from New Jersey. My childcare experience began with mommy-helping at age 12 then independently babysitting at age 17. I have traveled the tri-state area and worked with children all ages from infancy to teenagers. I have also worked with many individuals who had varying specials needs. I always give my all when I'm interacting with children, and my goal is to always leave the entire family feeling safe and happy! I am CPR/AED Certified, been fingerprinted by the state of New Jersey, have my own car and most importantly can supply excellent references! I work many jobs but I always have time to help new families for date night, parties, sick days, etc. Please feel free to reach out to me!

“Tiffany was absolutely amazing! She juggled two infants like it was no big deal! She is a super babysitter and I would recommend her with the highest level! She watched our babies at my sisters wedding! What a gem! I cannot wait to use her in the future if I’m ever in town again. Thanks Tiffany! You saved the day! ”

Booked by 25 families in Paterson, NJ

For the past ten years, I've been privileged to provide dependable, personalized childcare to dozens of families. I enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality and creating an engaging, safe environment until their parents come back. Parents appreciate my creative, friendly, and adaptable nature. I’m always tuned into behavioral cues from kids, and I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make bath time/bed time go smoothly, win over kids with separation anxiety, and defuse toddler tantrums. I always follow parents’ preferred method of communication regarding your child's day and will happily send pictures and updates. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am a medical student in my final year of medical school and have an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and Spanish. I am comfortable caring for up to four children of varying age groups, from infants to pre-teens and older. I am certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I speak both English and Spanish, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted caregiver for your family.

“She was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. She was kind, playful, understanding, and communicative. We would love to work with her 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."
