Find a babysitter in Demarest, NJ

Hi there! Thank you for considering me. Here’s a bit about me: I am a former elementary school special education teacher in which I have 6 years of experience. Last year, I transitioned out my teaching role and now own a travel agency. Now that I'm no longer in the classroom I primarily support families with providing occasional care for after school, family nights out, last minute cancellations, as well as nannying abroad. UrbanSitter has given me the opportunity to continue supporting families and use my educator skills in a variety of settings. I am oldest sister of 3 and was the primary sitter for my brothers growing up. They inspired me to become a teacher and bring love and compassion into the classroom, and now anywhere I go. I have experience with infants, toddlers and elementary age children. I am able to change diapers, follow feeding directions and complete a variety of care routines as needed. I offer virtual homework help and tutoring services as well. Feel free to message me about this to discuss rate if interested.

Hey there, future families! I'm Vashti, and I'm excited to introduce myself. I've had the pleasure of caring for little ones from toddlers to teens, making each day an adventure. I'm here for tweekends when you need an extra hand, and if my schedule allows, I'd love to help out on date nights too. In my free time, you'll often find me aimlessly strolling through the city, and pedaling on a trusty Citibike. Just a friendly heads-up: if our day together stretches past 10:00 pm, I'd appreciate your help covering half of my Uber ride home. Looking forward to getting to know your family better! 😊

Hi I'm Hannah!. I'm a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, experienced sitter looking for a part time, weekend or occasional evening gig. I work in theatrical and live events. When not doing so, I support kiddos and their families. I am a licensed driver but am also happy to walk anywhere or use a subway. I’m CPR & first aid certified. I’m a recent Yale graduate with a masters degree in stage management. After working in a preschool during the pandemic, I worked in a Chicago area preschool classroom for almost two years in both the 2-12 month and 4 & 5 year old classrooms. In the spring of 2020; I graduated with a BA in early childhood, elementary education, and theatre. I am passionate and emphatic about viewing and valuing the child as a capable individual with a sense of agency. Throughout the years, I've had the opportunity to work with kids of many different backgrounds, encouraging them to engage through a sense of play, confidence and individualism. My experiences as a teacher, nanny, facilitator and graduate professor and taught me about teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and I am not adverse to cleaning up Legos or Shopkins that litter your living room. Nor am I afraid of a dirty diaper or any other messes your little one may make. I am also experienced with children of all different needs and abilities.

I currently work for a family taking care of two young girls. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, preparing them for bed, and cleaning/cooking. I love my job as each day I learn something new and relearn to view the world though a child's point of view. Previously, I worked transporting kids of special needs in the yellow school bus. I as well have experience working as a home attendant with children and senior citizens for four years. I am also a single mom of two daughters. One is a nurse and the other one is studying in college. In addition, I ,myself, am studying in college working to get my GED and associates degree for medical assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, and sewing. I am a friendly and patient person and love taking care of others.

Hey my name is Valentina. I’m a professional, reliable nanny with many years of experience caring for ages 7 months old to 16 years old. I’m especially strong with routines and transitions feeding, naps, play, homework, and bedtime so children feel secure and days run smoothly. Families describe me as structured, flexible, and hands-on. I balance warmth and playfulness with clear boundaries and consistency, which works well for both young children and school-aged kids. I help with taking children to appointments and afterschool activities, support homework, meal prep, and light cleaning, and provide occasional date-night babysitting. I keep parents updated regularly, sharing how their child is doing throughout the day. I take care of the details from activities to routines so children feel secure and parents know everything is handled. I also provide reliable pet care and have plenty of experience keeping animals on schedule. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, washing, and administering medication as needed. I have hands-on experience with my own two dogs and a cat, so I understand the attention, routine, and care pets need to stay happy and healthy. I’m also in college attaining my degree in digital marketing. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your children and hope to hear from you soon!
