My name is Kenya, but I prefer to be called Ken. I am a graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ, and a proud alumna of the Special Dance Company. I am currently pursuing my education at Union County College in Cranford, majoring in Health Science, with the goal of entering the medical field—specifically pediatrics. I am a very family-oriented person, and spending quality time with loved ones has always been a priority for me. The joy and connection I’ve experienced with family and friends inspired my passion for childcare. I have 3–5 years of childcare experience, and I understand that caring for children requires patience, multitasking, and attention to detail. My priority as a babysitter is to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I strive to support their development through engaging activities and positive guidance. To ensure safety and well-being, I focus on: - Maintaining clear communication with both children and parents. - Keeping a clean and healthy environment to prevent the spread of germs. - Planning both indoor and outdoor activities that promote learning and creativity. - Following consistent daily schedules, including nap times. - Encouraging a warm, supportive atmosphere where children feel valued. Childhood is such an important stage of life, and I am committed to making it both safe and memorable for the children in my care. Thank you!
I'm a full-time student attending Montclair State University. I am very responsible with kids of all ages, as I am the oldest of my seven siblings. They range from 1 year to 10 years old. I was also a foster kid, so I've taken care of many of my foster siblings as well. I am looking for work during the breaks (summer, winter, and spring) and am also available to work weekends.
Hi! I’m a college student with years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been babysitting for family and family friends since I was 9, and caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, responsible, and very engaging. I love doing crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m comfortable with bedtime routines, preparing simple meals, and keeping the home tidy after activities. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment so parents can feel completely at ease while they’re away. I’m especially great with toddlers and elementary-aged kids and I’m happy to care for multiple children at once. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and date nights in NYC and North Jersey, and I respond quickly to messages here.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
