Booked by 3 families in Edgewater, NJ

I have been working with children since 2013. From 2013 to 2016, I taught children in educational settings, which helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Since 2014, I have also been babysitting and have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I am comfortable caring for two children at the same time. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 1 month old until her first birthday while her mom attended classes at NYU. I also have experience supporting children with special needs. I am a cheerful, patient, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and have fun. I also love cats and enjoy taking care of plants, and I always treat every family's home with respect and care. My background in Psychology has strengthened my communication, empathy, and understanding of individual differences, allowing me to connect well with both children and parents.

Hi, Hope all is well. I am a college student, home for summer break, who has extensive experience with children. Not only do I have personal familial experience, but I also work in a daycare as a Pre-School Teacher. I am really understanding, playful, loving, gentle, and overall just an easygoing individual. Because of these qualities, I am really attentive and follow whatever is needed, so feel free to reach out at anytime! P.S. I am willing to start immediately! Best always, Ashanti

I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education at Felician University, where I am learning best practices in child development, classroom management, and supporting children with special needs. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor play, while encouraging kindness, patience, and confidence. My goal is always to care for children as if they were my own, giving parents peace of mind knowing their child is happy, safe, and supported.

Jordan $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with kids since middle school, starting by babysitting my little sister and tutoring peers, which sparked my love for helping children learn and grow. By 8th grade, I was an assistant teacher at Hebrew school and babysat my Rabbi’s daughter. In high school, I became a YMCA lifeguard (CPR certified) and taught swim lessons at summer camp. Throughout college, I spent four years as a certified tutor at the Boys & Girls Club, helping kids from 1st through 12th grade with reading, writing, math, and study skills. I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied Psychology and Economics, and have an intermediate level of Spanish. I love working with kids—watching their imagination develop, fostering their curiosity, and helping them learn. I also grew up with seven dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pets and happy to help with them too.

"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)."
