Booked by 6 families in Westwood, NJ

Hi I am Chris! I am 25 years old and I live in Hawthorne, New Jersey. I attended Rowan University where I graduated with a Graphic Design degree. I love working with children. I have grown up taking care of the younger ones around me. I come from a family where most of my siblings are teachers in schools so I am around working with kids a lot. I have also worked a lot with babies and the younger ages so I know what to do to take care of them as well. I just want to be able to ensure a day/night free of worry for you to enjoy while the kids still have fun too! I really hope we can make this work. Looking to hear back from you!

Booked by 1 family in Westwood, NJ

Hi, I'm Shannon! I love working with kids, and have many years of childcare experience. Most recently, I have been nannying a six-month-old infant in Sleepy Hollow, and two toddlers in Irvington, doing lots of storytime and outdoor play. I grew up in Bergen County, NJ, and now live in Nyack, NY. I am currently in grad school part-time at SUNY New Paltz to become a child therapist, and have extensive and varied experiences working with kids aged 1-16, at New Paltz Youth Center, All About Me Early Learning Center in Cresskill, NJ, and Tenafly Nature Center’s nature-based summer camp, in addition to various babysitting, tutoring, and volunteering experiences. I am very interested in working with families on a part-time basis to provide fun, engaging experiences for kids, from infants up to teens. When working with kids, I take into account their strengths, personal interests, and stage of development, and like to build a strong relationship where each child feels respected and supported in various areas of their life. I love integrating each child's unique creativity and understanding of the world into how I work with them on their homework, art projects, and play time. I am also a huge pet lover (I have a cat named Evie), and am available if any pet care is needed. Please reach out if there are any other questions I can answer, I would love to work with you and your family!

Hello! My name is Ariana, but many know me as Ari. I’m 24 years old and have over six years of experience working with children ranging from 8-week-old infants to Pre-K students aged 4½. I’ve been a lead teacher for the past five years and am currently working as a Pre-K teacher.

In addition to my teaching career, I’m also a dance instructor for children ages 2 to 12. I’m often described as confident, organized, punctual, and a strong team player.

"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."
