Hi there! It’s great to meet you, I’m Valentina, a former NYC nanny and long-time NYer who is coming out of nanny retirement while I figure out next steps in my career. I recently moved to North Jersey and am looking to meet new families in the area! I am a very caring and proactive nanny in terms of safety and avoiding tantrums, I love kids, and am so happy to have a niece and nephew now! I have an excellent track record and recent /additional references available upon request. I speak Spanish and love to do crafts and games with kids, and have extensive experience with multiple kids at once, infants and kids of all ages. I am happy to take kids on any adventures, to museums or to the pool or ferry. I also have experience teaching kids and people of all ages how to swim, if that is of interest as well! I taught swim lessons at the Peddie School in NJ for many years, and was a former lifeguard. I am looking forward to connecting and meeting your family! -Valentina

I can tell she is super engaging. Valentina was also on time and communicative.

Hi, I’m Lyric! I‘ve worked at a childcare facility and have nannied for years! I’ve gotten a minor in adolescence psychology and child development, so I really enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating an environment where they feel happy and understood! At the childcare center, I worked with children in an active, social environment where I had to be patient, playful, and responsible at the same time! My neuroscience background also helps me understand attention, emotional regulation, learning styles, and how much children benefit from consistency, patience, and confidence-building. Families can expect me to be dependable, kind, communicative, and fully present. I really care about making children feel safe and excited to be themselves! I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, routines, snacks/meals, homework support, and pet care when needed.

Lyric was prompt, responsive, and great with our kids!

Booked by 14 families in Fort Lee, NJ

Hi families, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Tamyia. I’m currently finishing my last semester for my in Human Services degree. I have 6 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and doing different routine routines for families. One of my favorite parts about babysitting is the relationships I get to build with both the children and their families. I really enjoy being someone families can rely on and helping out wherever I’m needed. I would describe myself as patient, creative, and easy to get along with. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor activities, board games, and fun educational games. I always try to create a safe and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, and I’m also interested in transitioning into a full-time role over the summer where I can build a stronger, long-term connection with a family.

Tamyia is a joy to work with, kind and compassionate

Booked by 19 families in Fort Lee, NJ

Hi! My name is Vanessa ! I have been in the nanny/ babysitting field for over 9 years now! I am most familiar with the UES but I have also done occasional jobs all over New York! Right now I am looking for one time positions or part time positions. I love to have fun taking kids to the park or just hanging out at home!

Vanessa arrived on time, was a great boy sitter- she knew how to play with my 7 year old, help him get his energy out, & had him in bed on time & asleep before I got home, which I was grateful for. She also has a lovely demeanor, I would happily have her babysit again.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
