Find an emergency babysitter in Cliffside Park, NJ

I’m Ana, an energetic and experienced nanny who is passionate about creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Transforming everyday playtime into engaging learning adventures is one of my specialties! Whether we’re building magnificent LEGO castles, creating arts and crafts, or designing our own comic books, I believe in making every moment meaningful and memorable. Over the last 9 years as a full-time nanny, I’ve proudly adapted to each family’s unique needs and parenting styles. In addition to my nanny experience, I am also a certified Home Health Aide (HHA), which has strengthened my caregiving skills, patience, attentiveness, and ability to provide compassionate support in a variety of situations. I have experience working with children of all abilities, including children with disabilities, developmental delays, autism, ADHD, and social-emotional challenges. I am experienced in administering prescribed daily medications, supporting therapeutic routines, and creating an inclusive, understanding, and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I strongly believe in helping children develop healthy coping skills, confidence, independence, and emotional regulation through patience, consistency, creativity, and compassion. My priority is always making sure children feel loved, understood, and able to thrive at their own pace. I understand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home, and I strive to become a reliable extension of your family. I have years of experience working with children ranging from infancy through high school, providing homework help, engaging in creative and educational activities, maintaining structured routines, preparing nutritious meals, and keeping play and learning areas organized and tidy. I’m a quick learner, highly adaptable, and flexible with scheduling, including being available for last-minute bookings when needed. I especially have a soft spot for babies and toddlers and truly love watching them grow, learn, and develop throughout the years. Building lasting bonds with children and families is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I’m excited to connect and discuss how my experience, energy, and passion for childcare can benefit your family :)

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by :) I’m Jessica, a seasoned childcare provider with 15+ years of experience caring for infants through school-age children across NYC and New Jersey. I’m CPR certified for infants and children, trained in child development, and very familiar with the realities of parenting—from separation anxiety and bedtime routines to big feelings. I’m a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology and previously studied fashion design at Pratt Institute. Creativity is central to who I am; I’m always drawing, sewing, or painting. I’ve taught sewing to 3rd–5th graders in after-school programs and led group childcare events through Project Playdate, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once. My experience includes infants and toddlers, children with food allergies, and those with special needs (including Autism and Cerebral Palsy). I’m patient, kind, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I strive to create a calm, safe, and imaginative environment where children feel seen, supported, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.

*****Please note: I am immunocompromised and have an autoimmune disease so I cannot watch sick children and must limit time outside in extremely hot weather. Hi! I'm Ali. I’m originally from Seattle and moved to New York in 2015 to study acting. I joined UrbanSitter during college and have been using it as my day job ever since. I have 18 years of childcare experience, ranging from date nights and private nannying to daycare and summer camps. Over the last four years I have began working in arts education as a teaching artist and youth theater director. I’m the 2nd oldest of 10 so I’ve been around young kids my entire life and am used to watching multiple kids at once. Due to being CPR and First Aid certified since I was 12, I’ve gained years of experience watching kids with varying disabilities and medical conditions, and am very familiar with working with children who are autistic, have epilepsy, or have life threatening food allergies. My go to activities are coloring, board games, going to the park, reading, movies, and arts and crafts. Outside of childcare, I am an actor, writer, and run an indie theater/production company. I’ve spent the pandemic studying trauma informed, consent based rehearsal spaces and mental health first aid. Both of these skills have been easily transferable to my childcare work. I have experience teaching at after school programs using the Montessori Method and have been working more as a teaching artist lately, doing theater and improv with kids. Cancellation policy: cancellation less than 24 hours my policy is full payment. If it’s within 72 hours, it’s half the agreed payment, and more than 72 there isn’t a fee. If you come home more than 15 minutes late with no communication I reserve the right to charge a late fee on top of that extra time. If you come home early I still charge for the full time booked since I had to block that time out in my calendar, unless we’ve agreed on it beforehand.
