Booked by 1 family in Fair Lawn, NJ

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a dedicated, compassionate caregiver with many years of hands-on experience supporting elderly and disabled clients. As a young senior and a proud grandmother of two adorable children, caregiving comes very naturally to me. I am nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy providing comfort and support to those who need it most. Throughout my career, I have assisted 5–7 elderly and disabled clients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility support. I am experienced in monitoring and documenting vital signs, observing changes in a client’s condition, and reporting updates to healthcare providers to ensure the best possible care. I also take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every client I serve. I bring strong skills in medication administration, vital sign monitoring, first aid, and electronic health record systems. On a personal level, I am known for my patience, empathy, excellent communication, active listening, and problem-solving skills. I work well independently and as part of a team, and I am committed to treating every client with dignity, respect, and kindness. I believe these qualities make me an excellent fit and I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and heart to your Family.

Melody $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Melody. I am a Hispanic American who loves children and has been exposed to them for a truly long time. I am reaching to about 8 years of experience in childcare in the field, including church kid classes, daycare work, and personal full-time nannying work. In more detail, I have provided engaging care for children from the ages of 18 months to 12 in church, daycare, and private home settings. Furthermore, I planned and led activities including games, arts and crafts, music (through my singing and playing guitar), and interactive learning. To add on, I managed classrooms, encouraged creativity, and fostered a fun, nurturing environment. Specific experience includes work at Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church (2017), assisting a daycare called Sunlight Kids (2019), and full-time nannying in Columbus Circle, NY (2025). Here's a review from my most recent job: "To whom it may concern, Melody Acosta was a temporary caretaker for our 18-month-old daughter for nearly 3 weeks. As two extremely time-strapped executives, my husband and I work in busy environments with high stress and rely on professional, high-performing teams. Melody was an excellent addition to our team during her time with us. Melody was extremely professional and diligent right from the start. She made time to come before the official role began to study the daily routine of our daughter. That way, she would have a head start before the role began. During her time here, she was extremely dependable with a calm and helpful demeanor. Often she would arrive early or have to stay a bit later, and did so with a pleasant, mature demeanor. Her ability to take direction, feedback, and adapt quickly also stood out. She presented a desire to meet our needs and diligently took notes to ensure completion of tasks and pivoted when needed. She was proactive, often suggesting ideas for meals or activities. With our daughter herself, Melody was very interactive, singing, reading, and spending time with her caringly and lovingly. Melody would be an asset in any workplace. Thanks. Divya Sawhney"

Hello! I am a Montclair State Alumni, graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health in 2021. I am currently a flight attendant, just looking to help families out when I’m not flying.

Nazia $30 per hour for 1 child

Working in the local school district with 9 years of experience and a diverse list of roles, my passion for nurturing children's growth and supporting families drives my every action. Working with the Teaneck School District allowed me to develop a versatile approach in supporting children from Pre-K to High-school, especially those with special needs. I'm patient, calm, and friendly, and I believe in open communication with parents about their childrens' day. I'm comfortable following the parents' lead in enforcing household rules. My training and experience have equipped me to engage children through educational games, board games, and puzzles. I'm thrilled to care for up to two children between the ages of 0 and 11. I am confident my past experience working with children will make me a perfect candidate for this type of job. Let's embark on a nurturing journey together!

"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)."
