Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a recent graduate of Bennington College where I studied Visual Arts and Poetry. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services! I love being a babysitter. I took care of the same family all throughout high school (4 years) watching two toddler-aged into kid-aged children and a dog. My responsibilities included helping with homework, doing crafts, transportation to/from extracurricular activities, walking the dog, and playing by the pool. For the past two summers I have worked as a camp counselor for ages ranging 5-12 years old. Both being out in nature, I have experience supervising children at lakes and oceans, leading hiking, and creating/teaching arts and crafts activities. I feel passionate about fostering creativity within kids through art! I have 10+ years experience volunteering with children with developmental and behavioral special needs. I am trained in behavior management and feel equipped to handle most cases. I am offering pet and household services as well. I have grown up with multiple cats and dogs so am used to animals and love them! I can do household tasks as well including cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for plants. I am First-Aid and CPR certified!

Sofia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sofia, a 24-year-old caregiver with several years of hands-on experience supporting children — especially toddlers and preschoolers — through developmental therapy, babysitting, and child-led learning. My background includes working with children in early intervention settings using D.I.R./Floortime approaches to support cognitive growth, sensory regulation, emotional expression, and motor planning. I’ve worked one-on-one in homes to help kids meet milestones, manage transitions, and navigate big emotions through connection and co-regulation. In addition to my therapy experience, I’ve provided consistent nanny and babysitting care for families with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m a strong believer in respectful, responsive caregiving, and I love creating environments where children feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Whether it’s building sensory bins, planning simple routines, or supporting nap time with calm consistency, I bring warmth and intention to my work. I’m also a great fit for families looking for someone reliable, grounded, and flexible. I currently work a hybrid part-time schedule which gives me flexibility Monday through Friday. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets, following Montessori-inspired or gentle parenting approaches, and being a calm presence during high-energy moments (tantrums don’t scare me!). Some quick facts: -I have my own reliable transportation and am punctual -I’m based in the Hudson/Bergen County area and open to nearby travel -I'm Bilingual (spanish speaking) -I love sensory play, nature walks, music, and simple creative activities -I’m open to long-term roles, part-time care, or summer-only positions Whether you're a parent looking for structured, engaging support during the week, or someone who needs reliable, developmentally-aware care for your little ones, I’d love to see if we’re a match. Thank you for considering me!

Pamela $28 per hour for 1 child

Babysitter Available – CPR Certified ✨ “Caring for children as if they were my own.” ✨ Hello! My name is Pamela, and I’m here to support all the wonderful moms and families who need an extra helping hand with their little ones. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is well cared for. I treat every child with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m Hispanic, and my native language is Spanish — so if you’d like your child to learn a few Spanish words, I’d be happy to include that during our time together! I have a basic level of English, but that doesn’t stop me from communicating clearly, kindly, and making your child feel safe and happy. I’m CPR certified and have experience working in a daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and provide the care and support your little one deserves. ❤️

"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)."
