Adama $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hackensack, NJ

Hello I am a loving and dependable babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I speak English, French, Spanish, and Fulani, which helps me connect easily with families from different backgrounds. As the older sibling to four younger brothers and sisters, I’ve helped with homework, meals, daily routines, and house chores. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making children feel safe, supported, and happy.

ashley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley! i love children and actually have a child of my own. My main priority is to make sure the kids are comfortable and safe. I currently work at a daycare center during the week and would love to take care of kids during the weekend. I am open working during the evenings and all day during the weekends(I am very flexible).If given the opportunity, I am also willing to work full time as a nanny for a family that might need the extra help! I am bilingual and I am available every weekend and also willing to drive. I love taking kids to the park and playing soccer and blowing bubbles. I am a responsible person that makes sure that the children are well taken care of while keeping the parent updated. If you hire me you won't regret it!

Anais $21 per hour for 1 child

I have worked at a summer program as a tutor/consular preparing higher schoolers for college. My experience during that time allowed me to develop skills that would be useful for babysitting, like time management and comprehension towards the Childs needs, as well as being patient. Being very attentive and alert is another important trait I have as a caregiver. I have also done dog walking and have a dog of my own which I take care of.

Krisly $25 per hour for 1 child

Warm, dependable, and patient bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with years of childcare experience dating back to my college years. I’ve had the privilege of working long-term with one family since their first child was born in my early 20s, eventually helping care for all 3 of their children as they grew. I hold a Master’s degree in Health Education and currently work in project management, which has strengthened my organization, communication, reliability, and ability to multitask in fast-paced environments. As a mother to a soon-to-be 7-year-old, childcare is truly second nature to me, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel their children are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I love creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Families describe me as trustworthy, attentive, patient, and genuinely loving with children of all ages.

Agatha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Agatha and I have 6 years of experience working with children as young as 4 months to 4 years old in a professional school/daycare setting (+ several years of volunteer work with children throughout high school as well). Alongside caring for your child, I will assist in any chores/tasks you would like me to complete. I will also always have activities planned in order to keep your child entertained, and learning! I enjoy fully engaging with children, whether at the playground, or creating simple games for them that improve their memory and motor skills. It is very fulfilling knowing that children trust me to help them grow, and have fun. I am very down to earth as well, so letting them be vulnerable ensures that they can be thoroughly themselves in a safe environment! :)

"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."

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)."
