Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I’m going into my junior year at Caldwell University, where I’m a student-athlete on the women’s basketball team. I’m responsible, reliable, and love working with kids of all ages. I come from a big, close-knit family and have been taking care of my younger cousins and family members for as long as I can remember. Spending time with kids has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy helping them learn, grow, and have fun. (I also have two cats and a dog.) As a college athlete, I’m energetic, patient, and know how to keep children engaged while making sure they’re always safe. I’ve consistently been on the Dean’s List at Caldwell University and am a member of the National Honor Society, so I’m also happy to help with homework, studying, and creating positive learning habits while making schoolwork feel less stressful. My responsibilities have included driving children to and from camps, practices, sports, and other activities, planning arts and crafts, playing at the playground, helping with homework, and organizing fun games and activities. Since I play college basketball, I especially love staying active with kids through sports, outdoor play, and anything that keeps them moving and having fun. I’m flexible, dependable, and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust. Whether it’s helping with busy after-school schedules, keeping little ones entertained, or simply being another caring and positive role model, I’m always happy to help however I can. I look forward to meeting your family! 😊

Natalie Estelle $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Secaucus, NJ

Hello! My name is Natalie and I am here to offer my services for child care, dog care, and household chores. I am newer to the Urban Sitter community, but I have 10+ experience with babysitting, as well as children's camp counseling. As an actor/writer, I bring a lot of heart, creativity, and patience to the care I provide. I am looking for part-time work, including pick ups & drop offs from school/activities, cooking/cleaning, date night babysitting, and playtime. I love kids, and I am looking forward to building trusting relationships with the families I provide care for. Additionally, I have been a dog owner for almost 15 years, so I am here for any pet-related needs as well, as I am organized, cleanly, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I look forward to meeting you!

Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sofia, I'm 24 years old and I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I absolutely love children and animals, and can't wait to have children of my own some day. I graduated from Scripps College during Spring 2023. The families I have babysat for in the past describe me as kind, loving, responsible, communicative, and encouraging. I grew up abroad and babysat for an American family twice a week in high school, ages 6 and 10; I babysat a family friend's 4 year old over the summer when I was 17 years old; and most recently, I was a regular babysitter for a family in California as a college student, ages 5 and 8. I am half Japanese/half Russian and feel very comfortable in multicultural familial environments. I like to connect with children as my equal, while maintaining a responsible and trusting relationship. I also have grown up around animals and have experience pet/house sitting. I love to cook for myself and would be happy to cook nutritious and delicious meals for your children! I am happy to meet your family's needs, whether this involves children, animals, or cleaning duties/errands. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
