Booked by 3 families in Great Meadows, NJ

Hello There! My name is Marissa and I graduated from the Silberman School of Social Work with my MSW. My undergraduate degrees are in Early Childhood Education/ Special Education and Psychology. I am licensed in general education and special education. My ultimate goal is to become a licensed clinical social worker to help children and families in countless ways. I have more than seven years of experience working with children aged 3 months - 12 years. I have been providing childcare for families since the age of 16 and since 13 for my own sister. After graduating, I have gained even more knowledge through my experience as a head teacher and children’s therapist. Over the years, I have proven myself to be a caring, reliable and trustworthy individual. I am hoping to be the right fit for your family and look forward to meeting you! References will be available upon request.

Hi there! My name is Cynthia, and I’m a caring, reliable, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with children. I believe in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, laugh, and feel comfortable. I have experience caring for children of different ages — from toddlers to school-aged kids — and I always make sure to keep things engaging with activities like crafts, games, outdoor play, and story time. I’m also comfortable with light meal prep, bedtime routines, and helping with homework when needed.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Emily and I'm currently looking for a full time or part time child care or household services job. I love being a nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) for over 16 years. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school/activities/appointments, crafts, tutoring, playing, meal prep, laundry, general cleaning of children’s spaces, errands, supervising bath time, spending time outside, staying for overnights, etc. In my spare time I enjoy going for walks, reading, playing the piano, roadtrips, and spending time with friends. I am an extremely patient person. I’m also organized, kind, proactive, and a good communicator. I love working with kids. I find their laughter infectious and their sweet curiosity so fun to be around. I have learned so much from my work with them. I look forward to talking more with you!

Colette $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Colette. I am 19 years old. I have my driver's license, and I am entering my second year of University. I currently attend La Sierra University, where I am majoring in Nursing. My first year of University I spent in Seville, Spain, studying abroad. There, I had the opportunity to work with kids and teach them English. Specfically I worked with first and third graders. This experience strengthened how I can engage and work with kids in a fun and supportive way. I am energetic, responsible, and dependable. I enjoy spending time with children and creating a positive environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and entertained. In addition to caring for children, I am happy to help with light household tasks, follow any routines or instructions provided by parents, and run errands if needed for the 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)."
