Eliana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've worked in childcare for about nine years. I love watching kids and seeing them learn and grow every day. Kids have always brightened my day and remind me why I love working with them as much as I do. I worked for the YMCA at their aftercare program and summer program. My responsibilities for aftercare were making sure kids completed their homework, had fun activities planned and were safe. For the summer program, I was a music teacher and taught kids from 3-8 years old. I can cook, drive or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

I am a compassionate, dedicated, and adaptable caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for babies, pets, and seniors. Growing up in a large family, I began babysitting my cousins as early as high school, which gave me a deep understanding of the responsibility and patience required to care for young children. Additionally, being raised by my grandparents taught me firsthand the joys and challenges of caring for seniors, shaping my empathetic and respectful approach. These personal experiences, combined with my professional dedication, make me a trustworthy and skilled caregiver. From a young age, I embraced the responsibility of looking after children in my extended family. Babysitting my cousins while still in high school taught me not only how to manage their needs but also how to create a nurturing and safe environment. These early experiences instilled in me a natural affinity for caring for babies, which has only grown over the years. As someone who understands the special bond between humans and animals, I am deeply committed to providing attentive and loving care for pets. My flexible work schedule and remote lifestyle enable me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. What sets me apart as a caregiver is the foundation of family values that shaped my lifeGrowing up in a large family and being surrounded by different generations taught me to appreciate the beauty of caregiving at every stage of life. Whether it was babysitting my younger cousins or helping my grandparents with daily tasks, I learned early on the importance of patience, empathy, and responsibility. These experiences not only prepared me to care for others but also gave me a genuine passion for helping families, pets, and seniors thrive. Caregiving is more than just a role for me—it is a way of life shaped by my upbringing and personal values. I bring a wealth of experience, unwavering dedication, and a warm, nurturing approach to every caregiving situation. By choosing me, you’re not just hiring a caregiver—you’re inviting someone into your family who will treat your loved ones with the same love, respect, and attentiveness I’ve offered my own family throughout my life. Whether it’s a baby’s laughter, a pet’s wagging tail, or a senior’s smile, I am committed to creating moments of joy and comfort for those in my care.

Amazing dog sitter! So great with dogs and goes above and beyond to help out.

Booked by 8 families in East Orange, NJ

Hi! My name is Florencia, and I’m a responsible, patient, and energetic caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children. I’m very attentive and communicative, and I love engaging children through creative activities like drawing, storytelling, and interactive play. I can also help with routines and homework, while maintaining a structured and positive daily routine. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), and I can naturally incorporate both languages when interacting with children. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, including tidying up play areas, children’s laundry, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m reliable, warm, and committed to building a strong and trusting relationship with both children and parents. Looking forward to supporting your family! 💛

Former 2 year Aupair here :) I took care of a one year old and 4 year old at the same time. Tasks were: Morning routine, Make breakfast & lunch, driving to school, nap time, homework and playing. Also took care of 3 kids at the same time: (6,8,11 years old). Tasks were mainly driving and homework. Also taking care of 2 dogs (feeding, walking, playing). 2 baby boys ( year 1&2) Morning and Night Routine, driving, preparing food, often watched the baby’s over night. I love every age group can’t decide which one was the best. I grew up in a big family with 3 younger and one older sibling, so I’m used to taking care of more than just one kid. I also love animals and am happy to take care of them too

I’d like to share my experience with Ogechi, who worked with our family as an au pair. Ogechi was a reliable and caring presence in our home, looking after our two toddlers. She was adept at balancing the various aspects of her role, from childcare to helping out with meals. Ogechi had a calm and positive approach to her work, which was particularly appreciated. She was good with our children, engaging them in activities and ensuring they had a structured day. Her ability to adapt to our family’s needs and schedule without much fuss made things smoother for us. One of the things we loved most about having Ogechi with us was her ability to just ‘get’ our family. She was incredibly adaptable, whether it was dealing with last-minute schedule changes or coming up with creative solutions whenever the kids threw us curveballs. Her positive attitude and calm presence were contagious, making our home a happier place. Ogechi became more than just an au pair; she was part of our family. Any family would be lucky to have Ogechi join them. She’s truly one of a kind, and we miss her dearly.

"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."

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)."
