Daniela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Daniela and I am a professional, high-energy nanny with 3 years of paid experience caring for children of all ages. While I enjoy working with all stages of childhood, I have a special heart for toddlers. I love their curiosity and find great joy in creating fun, educational activities that help them reach their milestones. As a native Spanish speaker, I take pride in introducing children to a second language through songs and play-most of my previous kiddos were counting in Spanish within weeks! My goal is to provide parents with total peace of mind, knowing their little ones are in a safe, patient, and nurturing environment. I am highly organized, pet-friendly, a non-smoker. I look forward to meeting your family!

Meadow 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Meadow, I am 24 and just moved from Wisconsin. I graduated a few years ago with a business management degree. I have been babysitting since I was in middle school, I was also a full time Nanny 2 years ago during the summer. I come from a big family and have always been around kids. I currently work as a barista and we have a playroom available so I am still working with kids daily. With former families that I have worked with, I have assisted in helping with homework, getting the kids ready for school or bedtime, cooking, cleaning and walking them to school. I am comfortable with cats and dogs as well.

“Meadow is competent, trustworthy, patient and kind. My son takes awhile to warm up to people and he quickly connected with Meadow. She understood his feelings, was empathetic and patient with him. She found topics to connect with him and they built a fun relationship. She also was great with my daughter (9) who could talk with Meadow for hours. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her skills and abilities with kids of all ages.”

Luci 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! 😊 Do you need a part-time sitter? I’m available for weekday/daytime childcare. I’m Luci, a recent Middlebury College graduate with degrees in Psychology (with a concentration in Child Development) and Studio Art. I’m also certified as a restorative justice facilitator and in child mental health crisis intervention. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for children ages 12 months–10 years. I’ve also taught art to young children in nonprofit early education settings. My approach to childcare aligns closely with the Montessori philosophy. I engage directly with children through play, encourage imagination and creativity, and am happy to take them to enrichment activities. If you’re looking for childcare or would like to chat more about what your family needs, feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect.

“with luci, i experience a trust, ease, and grounded sense of responsibility in a caregiver. at the same time, luci is extremely light, creative, and finding fun with my 10 year old son. you'll see that luci is consistently accountable for her time as well as lovely, considerate, and understanding of the pivotal role she plays in the daily schedule and mind of a young child. highly recommend :)”

Booked by 1 family in Passaic, NJ

Hello. I am a home organizer and love creating systems that work for your life. I work in corporate, the majority of my friends are childless and I miss spending time with children after growing up surrounded by them. That's why I am on Urban Sitter. I also speak Spanish and can incorporate that into childcare. Regarding experience, most of it involves children aged 9 - 12, but in the past two years, I have looked after newborns to 2yrs old. I'm a dog lover and dog sitter. I used to volunteer at a no-kill shelter and have experience with dogs and some behavioral issues.
