Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and patient caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children, including children with special needs. I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), which has given me additional knowledge and experience in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I truly enjoy working with children and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I have experience with daily routines, meal preparation, playtime, educational activities, and providing individualized care based on each child’s needs. I am responsible, organized, and attentive to details, and I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can genuinely trust with their loved ones. My goal is always to provide dependable care while bringing patience, kindness, and positive energy into the home.

Azul $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Azul 💙 I’m originally from Argentina and I’ve been caring for children since I was 14. For the past two years, I’ve been living in New Jersey and working full-time with children of different ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids, including children with special needs and ADHD. I’m active, patient, caring, and reliable. I’m comfortable with meals, diapers, naps, bath time, activities, school drop-offs/pick-ups, and driving. I speak Spanish and English and have a valid U.S. driver’s license. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position starting in November and would love to find a family I can build a long-term relationship with.

Clara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clara, and I’m an 18-year-old recent high school graduate with four years of childcare experience. Caring for children has always been my greatest passion. Ever since I was young, I’ve dreamed of working with kids, and my long-term goal is to become a pediatric nurse. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages. Every family I’ve worked with has taught me something new and strengthened my love for childcare. I strive to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy reading stories, playing games, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and creating fun activities that keep children engaged. I’m a patient, responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who understands how important trust and communication are. I treat every child with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own family. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with families from different backgrounds. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with child-related tasks, including meal preparation, tidying up after activities, bedtime routines, and transportation when needed. I have multiple excellent references from families I’ve worked with, and they would be happy to share their experiences. I understand that choosing someone to care for your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make, and I would be truly honored to earn your trust and become a reliable, caring part of your family’s daily life.

"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)."
