Booked by 1 family in Westwood, NJ

A nurturing, responsible, and energetic nanny with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborn through elementary age is seeking a full-time position. I am currently pursuing my degree in Elementary Education and bring a strong passion for helping children grow, learn, and develop through play, reading, structured routines, and creative activities. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

“We had a wonderful experience with Libby. My son absolutely loved her as a babysitter. She was playful, attentive, and genuinely caring, and she was very responsive to his needs. Libby was always punctual, often arriving early, and consistently reliable when we needed her. She engaged my son thoughtfully and made him feel comfortable and happy. We will absolutely be rebooking her and highly recommend her to other families.”

"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."
