Booked by 3 families in Clayton, NJ

Hi - My name is Aaliyah, but my preferred name is Ashanti. I am offering childcare and seniorcare services. I am the oldest child of 5. I have 2 children of my own. My daughters are 6 and 1. I enjoy doing everything with children; cooking, baking, crafts, homework, reading and so much more. I have been doing this from about 17 years old and it is something I enjoy. I have also taken care of senior citizens ranging from ages 70 - 90. I do not have a drivers license, but I can help with errands throught uber or public transportation. I am a non-smoker.

“Ms. Aaliyah is an amazing baby sitter. She took care of my 6 month old until she was 1 year old. I had to work a lot & she made everything so easy for me. I know my daughter was safe and well taken care of. I hope she continues to do this. She is amazing and will absolutely bless another family!”

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Clayton, NJ

Hi! I’m Kayla, a registered nurse with over 10 years of childcare experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I also have a background as an EMT and currently serve as a medical technician in the Air National Guard, so safety, patience, and staying calm in unexpected situations are very important to me. I genuinely enjoy working with children and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m comfortable with infants, toddlers, multiple children, bedtime routines, meal preparation, diapering, playtime, homework help, and providing a safe and engaging environment while parents are away. I’m CPR/BLS certified and also comfortable caring for children who may need a little extra patience or support. I strive to be someone parents can feel completely comfortable leaving their children with—reliable, attentive, caring, and communicative. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

“Kayla is fantastic with my 1 year old! She's been watching him so far between the ages of 9months and 12 months and she's so comfortable with this age. She knows how to engage with him, play with him, while keeping him safe which is literally all I want. She can take initiative and figure things out on her own and then also is mindful of when to check in with me on any routine related changes. We all absolutely love working with Kayla!”

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Clayton, NJ

Hi My name is Nadiyah and I'm currently a school teacher and mommy of 1. I've been working with kids since I was 15 and love it. I started by watching my younger brother and sisters, and then began babysitting for kids in our neighborhood. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with infants and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I whip out some fun board games:) In my free time, I love learning new coding, shopping , working out, and trying new foods.

“Professional, punctual, and very nice. she was great with my daughter. Glad she’s coming back again thank you.”

Vania 2 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Vania , I’m 23 years old , and caring for children is something I genuinely enjoy and take a lot of pride in. I’ve had experience babysitting children ages 2–14 years old as well as nannying for newborns through 4 years old. Over time, I’ve learned that every child is different and as a parent myself I really enjoy getting to know their personalities , interests, and individual needs. I love keeping kids active and engaged, especially through outdoor activities, creative play, and age-appropriate activities. For toddlers and preschool-aged children, I enjoy helping them practice skills they’re learning and supporting their curriculum in a way that feels fun rather than like extra school. I’m also happy to help older children with homework, studying, and staying on top of their schoolwork. I’m comfortable with cooking and meal prep as well. I understand how important it is to pay attention to dietary restrictions and make sure children are eating meals and snacks that are safe and appropriate for them. Most importantly, I want the children I care for to feel comfortable, heard, and cared about. I’m not just there to “watch” them — I genuinely want to be someone they can have fun with, learn from, and feel safe around. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust, and I do my best to give families that peace of mind. I have my Child Abuse Clearance and I am fully vaccinated. I’m looking forward to meeting new families and creating a positive experience for both parents and children! ❤️

“Very good with newborn babies. takes very well care of my twins. Bathes them feeds them changes them and keeps them entertained when needed. Also tries to keep them on a set night routine and will keep me updated with whatever is going on before leaving”

"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."

"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)."
