Hi! My name is Amaly. I’m a Fort Lee High school graduate and 19 years old. I love art, music and playing games. I am currently enrolled for Ramapo College for the fall term. A lot of my time is spent keeping my house tidy, doing chores, and socializing ! I just moved to Howard Beach in Queens. I have a car so distance is not much of a problem :) I offer childcare, pet care, and housekeeping. I enjoy making children happy with my bubbly personality, creating art together, etc. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes.

Booked by 1 family in Fort Lee, NJ

Hi there! My name is Madelyn, and I am a performer offering child care and pet sitting services. I'm a fun-loving individual with a background in teaching and theme park princess work. I’ve been babysitting kiddos of various ages for several years now! My responsibilities have spanned anywhere from transporting children to/from school, tutoring, mealtime/bedtime routines, and the occasional game of freeze dance! I am happy to work with any and all animals (I even have experience feeding snakes!) I don’t scare easily!

Madelyn is an absolute gem. Her communication was excellent and my toddler had the best morning in her care. She easily kept him engaged through creative play, and my son was disappointed when she had to leave! Highly recommend!

Erik 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child

I enjoy babysitting and have been caring for children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids for many years, especially growing up with younger siblings. My experience includes driving children to and from school, organizing crafts and activities, and providing elementary-level tutoring. In addition, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, running errands, transportation to appointments, and other daily tasks. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets and multi-generational families, including those with grandparents.

Erik was our nanny for 2–3 years, and if we could have taken him with us when we moved, we absolutely would have. He became such an important part of our family. Erik became such an important part of our family. He is an incredible caregiver — patient, loyal, and deeply trustworthy. He prepared meals for our children, handled overnights with confidence, and was always there whenever a situation came up. We always felt completely at ease knowing our kids were in his care. Any family would be so lucky to have him.

Nicole 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Nicole, a caring, dependable, and energetic 20-year-old college student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I first gained childcare experience at 16 through a SYEP after-school program, where I helped supervise and engage children in fun, age-appropriate activities while creating a safe and positive environment. I’ve also spent years caring for my younger cousins and have provided babysitting services for two families with children ranging from ages 1-6 and 4-11. These experiences have strengthened my patience, responsibility, creativity, and ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun while making them feel safe, supported, and cared for. I currently work as a certified lifeguard, supervising children of all ages and ensuring their safety every day. I’m CPR, First Aid, AED, and Lifeguard certified, so you can feel confident knowing your children are in capable hands. Staying calm under pressure, being attentive, and responding quickly are skills I bring to every family I work with. Whether it’s arts and crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, homework help, bedtime routines, or simply being a positive role model, I love creating a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also happy to prepare meals and snacks, help with light housekeeping, organize play areas, and support your family’s daily routine however I can. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and currently attend a Medical Assistant program in Manhattan (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.), so I’m primarily available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, happy, and excited every time I’m with them. I’d love the opportunity to become a dependable, caring, and positive part of your family’s support system.

Nicole cared for my children, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. She is dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. She was always patient, kind, and attentive, making sure my children felt safe, happy, and engaged throughout the day. Whether she was helping with meals, playing games, reading, or keeping them on their routines, she handled everything with care and professionalism. Nicole is also an excellent communicator and always kept me updated if needed. She is punctual, trustworthy, and someone I could rely on. My children looked forward to spending time with her because she created a fun and positive environment while still maintaining structure and safety. I highly recommend Nicole to any family looking for a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter. She has a natural ability to connect with children, and I know she will be a wonderful caregiver for any family.

"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)."
