Hello everyone, ********Thank you for considering me for a booking request. However, I must request that you refrain from submitting a booking until you have had the opportunity to communicate with me. As a substitute teacher, I am currently unable to accommodate short-notice bookings.********* In my free time, I enjoy nature walks with my family, baking, circuit-based crafts, solving puzzles and Sudoku, making silly songs with my kids, and reading. These activities allow me to keep kids entertained without screens. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in biology from Montclair State University. Plus, I’ve been teaching online for over five years, and I’ve also worked as a professional nanny and in daycare centers. I am delighted to provide childcare and nurturing for families. I can drive children to parks, museums, ice skating arenas, and sports practices at the YMCA, JCC, and various facilities. I am highly engaging with children of all ages, even when managing multiple children.

Booked by 44 families in Hackensack, NJ

Hi! My name is Laura, and I’m a caring and responsible nanny based in New Jersey. I have experience working closely with children of different ages, and what I truly love about it is how naturally they connect to movement, creativity, and play. I bring a calm, attentive, and positive energy, creating a safe space where kids feel comfortable, seen, and engaged. I have a background in dance and body awareness, which allows me to connect with children in a more intuitive and playful way — whether it’s through movement, creative activities, or simply being present with them. I’m reliable, patient, and very mindful of each child’s unique personality and needs. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease, so I always prioritize clear communication and trust.

“Laura was fantastic with our two kids. She arrived promptly and immediately connected with the children, while in ‘listening mode’ as to schedule and the plan for the day, which she followed perfectly. She was super warm and engaging, and I felt very confident in the care she was giving. She was able to manage two children with ease and calm, and they both loved her. We would definitely use Laura 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)."
