Emerita D 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Union, NJ

Hello, my name is Emerita. I am 36 years old. I have two children, 16 and 11 years I love children I am very sweet and patient with them I like to read books, play, take them to the park. I have 3 years of experience and worked with 2 families, in a daycare also I can help with light cleaning . I have a driver's license and CPR&AID

“Emerita is an amazing nanny, and our family very fortunate to have found her. Our son had only known one nanny for all 3.5 years of his life and at that age was not taking too kindly to new people. However, when his first nanny went home overseas, Emerita was able to quickly and successfully take over what was quite a demanding job at the time: 6 days/week, 10 hours a day watching after our very active son including extensive trips away from the house at parks, beaches, the city, etc. Highly trustworthy, very friendly, and very adaptable to children....we strongly recommend Emerita for anyone seeking a nanny who is willing to adapt to your schedule and manage highly demanding toddlers.”

Andreska $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Andreska, I offer reliable childcare and pet care services. I have experience caring for children ages 1–5 and truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I love crafting, dancing, reading bedtime stories, helping with homework, and cooking simple meals. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. In addition to childcare, I have experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats. I’ve worked with dog breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Poodles, and mixed breeds, as well as cats like Domestic Shorthairs, Maine Coons, and Siamese. I offer walking, feeding, playtime, and general care, and I’m comfortable with large animals and shedding.

Denise $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Denise - a seasoned caregiver with years of experience caring for 10+ nieces and nephews, my own daughter (now off to college 🎓) and countless neighborhood children. With a bit of empty nest syndrome, I’m excited to get back to what I love most: helping kids feel safe and happy while parents enjoy some well-deserved time to themselves. I'm reliable, patient, fun and believe that great childcare should be stress-free for everyone (and yes, I’ve had lots of practice 😉).

"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."
