Tatyana $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Tatyana and I have over 10 years of babysitting experience. I also help care for my niece and nephew, so I understand the patience, creativity, and attention kids of all ages need. I’m comfortable caring for children of any age, from infants to teens. Along with childcare, I enjoy cooking and can prepare meals the kids will love, clean up, and keep things organized around the house. I truly love animals — I have cats myself — so I’m happy to work with families who have pets. Parents can count on me to be responsible, caring, and dependable while making sure your children feel safe, supported, and happy.

Amy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Amy, and I’m a 25-year-old Rutgers University graduate with a strong background in childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve always enjoyed caring for others and creating warm, structured environments where kids can thrive and feel safe — and where families can count on dependable, thoughtful help. From 2018 to 2021, I worked as a nanny for children between the ages of 4 and 7. During that time, I helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, planned and led creative and stimulating activities (from arts and crafts to outdoor play), and regularly took the kids to the park or after-school activities. I always made sure our days were fun, organized, and filled with learning moments. In addition to childcare, I’ve been a trusted dog sitter for several families in Princeton, NJ, where I grew up. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping pets company while families are away, I love being around animals and understand how important it is to care for them with attention and love. I’m fluent in Spanish, which comes in handy in bilingual households or when introducing kids to a new language in fun ways. I'm also an excellent communicator and believe in being honest, patient, and responsive — qualities that I think are essential when working in someone’s home and building trust with their loved ones. Currently, I work as a visual merchandiser at Lululemon in Princeton. I enjoy the creativity and problem-solving that comes with the job, but I’m now looking to work closer to home and connect with new families in Hoboken or nearby areas. Ideally, I’m hoping to find a full-time role that fits my schedule. I take pride in being dependable, organized, and easy to work with — someone who kids feel comfortable around, and parents can rely on.

"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."
