Maegen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My names Maegen and I'm a 39 year old stay at home mom. I have 3 kids myself from the ages of 9 to almost 13. I love being a stay at home mom and I feel like its my true calling to be a caretaker. Being a parent and raising my kids has been the most fulfilling thing for me thus far. Now that i dont have little babies anymore, id love to branch out and help other families. I know firsthand how hard it is to find good, reliable child care. My youngest son is autistic so I therefore also have experience with special needs kiddos.

Hi My name is Jahzaire and I'm a working professional dancer & choreographer. Some recent achievements of mine have been performing on the MTV Video Music Awards and going on tour with Keke Palmer! Although I love being on stage I really love working with children. My passion resides in inspiring the youth in anyway that I can so it's fulfilling for me to teach the youth. In terms of service, I am offering child care and household services. I genuinely enjoy babysitting a lot. With being the oldest in my family and having to be responsible for my siblings early on, I developed a natural love for babysitting starting at the age of 14. I have experience with the following responsibilities: tutoring, running errands, first aid occurrences, cooking, doing laundry, teaching dance and even teaching martial arts! I have experience with being a household assistant and working with animals such as cats and dogs. Although I am allergic to cats specifically, I don't mind at all working with dogs. I also don't mind bringing my own supplies and or using what's provided to clean a household. I'm open to answering any questions and looking forward to working with wonderful families!

Was very thoughtful and went above and beyond. Would absolutely recommend.

Booked by 4 families in Columbus, 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!

Dependable, attentive, and great with my son. Easy to communicate with and professional. I am glad I had found a trustworthy caregiver on such short notice!

I love getting them excited and ready for school in the morning, picking them up from school with a snack and a smile, of course. Then bring them to any practices or play dates. Most importantly, helping them with homework while I start dinner. Of course, this is all while we are having fun! I have a passion for creativity and culinary arts. I have a degree in culinary arts.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
