Booked by 5 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hi! My name is Gicely Sarai , but I go by Sara. I’m a professional nanny with over 15 years of experience working with private families in New York City, and I was also a kindergarten teacher in my home country. I’m CPR certified and experienced with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including caring for multiple children at once. I truly enjoy engaging with kids through reading, singing, dancing, age-appropriate arts and crafts, puzzles, outdoor play, and outings to parks, museums, and zoos. Reading is one of my favorite activities with children , Little Blue Truck is my favorite book ! I speak English and Spanish, I’m responsible, dependable, and caring, and I have excellent and impeccable references from families I’ve worked with. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your family and childcare needs. Feel free to message me through UrbanSitter. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I’m very happy with Gicely. She’s been watching our baby on a regular basis and has been punctual, polite, reliable, and flexible. Our baby warmed up to her right away and she is so sweet and patient.

Booked by 4 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hi! My name is Hanna, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children and I hope to be an elementary school social worker one day. I’m currently a college student studying Forensic Psychology at John Jay College, and I’ve spent the past few years supporting kids in both classroom and program settings. I’ve worked one-on-one with first graders, led small group activities in after-school programs, and even helped coordinate summer activities for children with autism and learning differences. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a lot of patience, energy, and creativity to every job. I’ve also taken care of toddlers in the past and love helping little ones learn, play, and feel safe. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply keeping things calm and fun at home, I’m here to support your family however I can!

Booked by 2 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hi families, parents, and caregivers, I am offering occasional and part-time babysitting, pet sitting, and/or household services. I’m a mental health counselor with a focus on supporting children and adolescents (ages 5+). I hold a certification in delivering evidence-based mental health practices for children in NYS and often use play activities in my work. Before entering the counseling field, I worked in after-school programs, where I created and delivered social-emotional learning lesson plans for Pre-K3 classrooms. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and building meaningful rapport with youth in both formal and informal settings. When spending time with kids, I bring a warm, curious, and playful spirit to help build connection while maintaining safety and boundaries. I strive to be proactive, attentive, communicative, and organized so I can best support you, your loved ones, and your home. I look forward to connecting!

Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a college student pursuing a career as a paramedic. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter for nearly four years, and I truly love caring for children. I enjoy doing crafts, baking, and going on little adventures that make learning fun and engaging. Creating a safe, positive, and happy environment for kids is very important to me. I’m also a big animal lover and have three pets of my own!

Sam has worked with our family for several years and has been truly wonderful. She’s helped care for our two children since they were very young and our kids absolutely love her. She is always dependable and such a kind person. Our kids are always out on fun activities around the city with Sam, and they love spending time with her. Even as our kids have grown, she’s still an active part of our lives. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to any family.
