Ben 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ben and I have a true passion for working with kids. With more than a year of experience, I provide patient, calm, and approachable care for up to three children, ranging from preschool age to teenagers. I have worked as a camp counselor at Rambling Pines in Hopewell and Camp NAC in Newtown. I have also worked as an Aftercare staff member at the Lawrence Elementary schools. My educational background informs my nurturing approach, and I hold both CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. I am a lifeguard which means I can also provide supervision for swimming. I recently graduated from Bucknell University (magna cum laude) as a Philosophy Major. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or exploring educational apps, I prioritize engaging activities. I always follow your lead regarding household rules and your preferred methods of communication. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my energy and care into your home, helping your children thrive every single day. I hope you have an amazing day!

Ben has extensive experience with children both as a Camp counselor and as a lifeguard over many years. Everyone in our large extended family uses Ben for Babysitting services for children of all ages. Both boys and girls love him – he’s “super cool.“ I trust him with my kids in all kinds of activities, including swimming and driving he’s patient and never harsh. But he can always think of fun things to do! He should definitely be at the top of your Babysitting list . He’s now a college grad with an outstanding academic record in addition to all of his childcare experiences.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
