Akera $24 per hour for 1 child

I genuinely love working with children and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them to grow and explore. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education at Felician University, where I am learning best practices in child development, classroom management, and supporting children with special needs. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor play, while encouraging kindness, patience, and confidence. My goal is always to care for children as if they were my own, giving parents peace of mind knowing their child is happy, safe, and supported.

Erica $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate education professional with experience working with children and students with disabilities. My educational background includes studying Psychology at Felician University, where I developed a strong interest in child development, behavior, and supporting individuals with different learning needs. I am continuing to pursue my goal of completing my education and becoming a certified Special Education teacher, with a particular interest in working with neurodivergent children. Since August 2022, I have worked as a Teacher Assistant with the Plainfield Public School District in New Jersey. In this role, I provide academic, behavioral, and emotional support to students with diverse needs. I work closely with teachers and other school professionals to help students participate in classroom activities, follow routines, develop independence, and feel safe and supported in their learning environment. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with students who require additional patience, structure, communication, and individualized support. My passion for working with children with special needs is also deeply personal. I am a parent of children with special needs, and my own experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges, strengths, and unique needs that children and their families may experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, compassion, advocacy, and the importance of celebrating every child's individual progress. It is one of the reasons I chose to dedicate my career to working with children who need additional support. I consider myself a loving and caring caregiver because I genuinely care about the well-being of every child I work with. I understand that children need more than supervision—they need patience, encouragement, understanding, consistency, and someone who will advocate for them. I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, accepted, and valued. I treat the children in my care with the same compassion and patience that I would want someone to show my own children. My personal and professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to education and caregiving. I want to continue growing professionally and eventually become a Special Education teacher who can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 108 families in Garfield, NJ

Hi! I'm Olivia. Thanks for visiting my profile. A little about me: I have 15 years of experience as both a full-time and part-time babysitter. I started babysitting in 2012, when I was a freshman at NYU. I'm now 34 and work as a writer/editor in the insurance industry. I’m available on the weekends (Friday night through Monday night) for babysitting. Note: I commute from NYC to NJ, so I can babysit in either place. From 2011 to 2017 (before I left NYC temporarily for grad school), I babysat for 10-40 hours each week. My experience ranges from newborns to 14-year-olds, with every age in between. I especially enjoy sharing my love of books & reading. I love chatting with kids, answering their (hilarious/profound/thought-provoking) questions, and playing their favorite off-screen game. I was born in Manhattan, and I grew up in North and South Florida. Outside babysitting, I worked as a substitute teacher while attending grad school. From 2[removed], I was a full-time teacher at a private school in Florida, where I taught fourth grade reading, writing and science. I am skilled in social-emotional learning (SEL) and working with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), Levels I, I, and III; OCD; and ADHD. I am also skilled in helping kids cope with anxiety, anxious thinking, or anxiety-related behavior patterns. My hobbies include reading, spending time with my friends, and kayaking. I also have an M.F.A. in fiction writing, and I love talking to both kids and adults about books and writing! Some other helpful info: I am comfortable with pets and light housework/pet care. I am not comfortable babysitting children who are not feeling well/sick/contagious. Please let me know ahead of time if this becomes the case!

“Olivia was awesome. She jumped in with short notice and did an amazing job with our son. Appreciate you and would highly recommend. Thanks 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."

"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)."
