Hello, I'm Tiffany! I'm 29 years old from New Jersey. My childcare experience began with mommy-helping at age 12 then independently babysitting at age 17. I have traveled the tri-state area and worked with children all ages from infancy to teenagers. I have also worked with many individuals who had varying specials needs. I always give my all when I'm interacting with children, and my goal is to always leave the entire family feeling safe and happy! I am CPR/AED Certified, been fingerprinted by the state of New Jersey, have my own car and most importantly can supply excellent references! I work many jobs but I always have time to help new families for date night, parties, sick days, etc. Please feel free to reach out to me!

Tiffany was absolutely amazing! She juggled two infants like it was no big deal! She is a super babysitter and I would recommend her with the highest level! She watched our babies at my sisters wedding! What a gem! I cannot wait to use her in the future if I’m ever in town again. Thanks Tiffany! You saved the day!

Booked by 51 families in Cranbury, NJ

Hello my name is Kalah. I am a 31 year old mother of 2. I have a Bachelors degree in biology and worked with children and adults with developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities for 11 years prior to becoming a mother myself. I come from a military/law enforcement family, so I’m great with punctuality, organization, structure, and cleanliness but I’m also a creative who loves cooking, dancing/music, travel, and fashion. I have no age preference, as I work well with all ages. I am first aid/CPR/AED certified, BLS certified and have been a nanny for 14 years now.

My experience with Kalah was excellent. She was caring, patient, reliable, and attentive throughout the entire visit. She made my 78-year-old mother feel comfortable and well cared for, and I truly appreciated her warm, professional approach. I would gladly recommend Kalah and would be happy to have her care for my mother again on numerous occasions. 10 out of 10.

"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)."
