Gwladys $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, Moms and dads, I’m Gwladys! I’m 29 years old, a proud mom of three, and currently juggling full-time work and school as I pursue my bachelor’s degree in sonography. I hold an associate degree in science and am looking for a side opportunity to help support my family while doing something I genuinely enjoy; caring for children. Although I don't have formal professional childcare experience, I’ve been caring for kids since I was 14. Being a mother myself, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and creating a safe, loving environment for little ones. I’m naturally nurturing, empathetic, attentive, and deeply committed to children’s well-being and development. Whether you need a reliable caregiver for a few hours or extra support during busy days, I’d love to be a helping hand in your family's life.

Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a second-year nursing student at Pace University, and I am offering child and pet sitting care. I am also CPR certified. I love babysitting and have experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to 10 years old. I know how to provide a fun and safe environment for kids of all ages, whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or keeping little ones entertained with creative activities. I have my own car, so I can provide transportation for myself and assist with pick-ups and drop-offs as needed. I’m excited to continue babysitting—please let me know how I can help! :)

Weronika $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Niki and I’m from Poland. I’m a babysitter with over 10 years of experience. Currently I live in New Jersey which I love. I’ve been working with kids of all ages but I have the most experience with infants and toddlers. I completed 3,5 years as an Au Pair in America. I absolutely love working with kids and it feels natural to me. I speak Polish, English, Serbian, Croatian and learning Spanish and Italian! I love languages and geography and would love to teach your kids something about the world. I like to call myself a traveler, because I’ve been traveling my whole life and it’s my biggest passion. As a live in nanny I’ve been taking care of 5 kids (with three different families) of ages: 3 months, 7 months, 1 yo, 2yo and 3yo - all in America. In my home country I cared for multiple kids aged 1-10 years old. I am a very pro-active and responsible person who you can trust with your kids. I know how to care for them, bathe, change diapers, put down for naps, prepare food, play and all the things you need.

Jayleen $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Jayleen! I have over 8 years of experience working with infants and toddlers outside of the UrbanSitter app. I am currently working as an orthopedic medical assistant but have over a year experience of being a Behavioral Technician with kids ages 3-7 that are on the spectrum. Imagine a babysitter/nanny who’s not just about keeping an eye on the little ones, but also turning every moment into a fun adventure. That’s me! With a touch for sports, games, creative crafts, and outdoor activities. I’m here to ensure your kids have fun while under my care. I’m excited to start a journey of laughter, exploration, and endless fun! I am also comfortable completing other responsibilities like running errands, tutoring, and tidying up. Fun fact: I am a college graduate and currently in an accelerated nursing program with an aspiration to become a Pediatric Nurse. Open to interviews in person and/or online.

"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)."
