Diana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - I'm Diana and I'm currently a behavior technician at Success on the Spectrum. I am offering childcare, pet care, senior care, and household services. I love working with kids and have been doing so since college, where I was an America Reads tutor for NYC public schools, working in elementary/middle school settings (acted as a teacher assistant essentially). After college, I worked as a paraprofessional for the Jersey City board of Ed for two years, working with middle school-aged special needs students. I then transitioned to being an EMT for four years, working for different medical transport companies dealing with primarily elderly patients. Upon leaving EMS, I became a behavior technician providing in-home services to autistic children after-school while working during the day as a paraprofessional in a special needs elementary/middle school. I recently left both jobs to work full-time at a clinic for autistic children as a behavior technician. I am good with crafts and tutoring and can work as a household assistant to clean and run errands. I own two small dogs and two cats and have been a pet owner since 2014.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Amy, I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love working with Children and Seniors. I have had experience since I was 14 years old. I would babysit the children in my area and was highly recommended at a young age. I offer help with school work, activities, errands, pick ups, drop offs to school or other activities. I also am a great caregiver for seniors, I have experience in bathing, assisting in walking and a great companionship partner. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, laundry and run errands.

“I wish i did not move so I could still have Amy as help with my children. She was a light that lit up my children's face as soon as they seen her. She cared for my 3 month old daughter and also babysat my 6 year old son while I worked night shifts. She was always reliable and on time. She was always willing to help even on short notice. Anyone that’s lucky enough to hire Amy is getting an angel.”

Vanessa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I am a responsible, compassionate, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys supporting others. I am currently a multifaceted student at Rutgers University studying Supply Chain Management, which has strengthened my organization, time management, and problem-solving skills—qualities I bring into every caregiving role. This past summer, I worked with 20+ students as a Program Assistant for a dual enrollment program, where I supported students academically and personally, helped manage daily schedules, and ensured a safe, structured, and positive environment. That experience strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to respond calmly and attentively to different needs and personalities. I approach caregiving with empathy, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility. Whether assisting with daily routines, meals, companionship, or light household tasks, I take pride in being reliable and consistent. I also value open communication and make it a priority to keep families informed and involved. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care while building trust with both the individual I’m supporting and their loved ones. I would be honored to support your family and make a meaningful difference in your daily life.

"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."
