Booked by 10 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hi, my name is Bahara, I am 57 yo. I’m an engineer by education, but I’ve been a professional nanny for 15 years. My love for children led me to work I enjoy, and what brings me true pleasure. I have a wealth of experience raising children and helping them develop, as evidenced by the numerous positive recommendations. I believe that the main joy in working as nanny is the opportunity to share a piece of my soul and to observe kids’ growth. I like working with kids an early age, teaching them new and unknown skills: how to crawl, sit, use a potty, take their first steps, read books and sing songs. Also, I like to spend a time outdoors with kids, which allows us to explore the world: play active games, socialize with other kids and develop new skills. My years of experience and the love I am willing to share allow me to find a common language with little ones and their parents I constantly work for improving my skills in pedagogy by reading articles and literature. Kindness, love, honesty and openness, responsibility and reliability are inherent qualities of my personality, which children immediately feel. In addition, I have no bad habits, I am fully vaccinated from Covid and get a flu shot every year. I have a valid driver license and reliable car. I will be glad to meet and greet new kids and their families. Sincerely Bahara Hasanova

Bahara was such a delight. She was so responsive leading up to the booking and was so amazing with my son. We felt so comfortable leaving him with her. She came on time and was so attentive the moment she stepped in the door. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat and can’t wait for her to hang out with my son again.

Hello! I’m Max, a dedicated father to a 6-year-old boy and a seasoned child care professional with over a decade of experience. My background spans various educational and recreational settings, including roles as a Pre-K specialist, PE instructor, and summer camp division leader. I’ve managed over 129 babysitting bookings on Urbansitter, receiving 47 five-star reviews from satisfied families. My experience extends from working with infants to older children, and I've been actively involved in schools, camps, and after-school programs. This includes babysitting occasionally, teaching PE, sports clinics, martial arts, and leading trips with responsibility for both staff and students. I take pride in connecting with kids through my sense of humor and caring nature. As a black belt in martial arts, I incorporate this into my work with school programs. I also love engaging children in STEM projects, arts and crafts, and sports. I’m familiar with popular children's shows and games like Pokémon, Frozen, Minecraft, and Bluey, and I make an effort to connect with kids by sharing their interests. I’m skilled at resolving conflicts, multitasking, and providing a supportive environment where children feel heard. My activities include reading books, hands-on STEM projects, arts and crafts, sports, board games, puzzles, and enrichment activities upon request. I’m CPR and RTE certified and look forward to learning more about you and your children. Thanks for considering me for your babysitting needs!

Maxbova was punctual, attentive, and followed our son’s routines perfectly. He kept him engaged with playful activities, communicated updates throughout the day, and cared for him with kindness and skill. We felt completely at ease knowing our son was in such capable hands.

Booked by 30 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hello, I'm Xiomara. I absolutely adore working with children. I have experience with babies; toddlers and pre-school age, as well as pre- teens in an academic setting. I am sweet, nurturing and very caring. Parents and teachers I have worked with describe me as warm, very patient, kind, empathetic and enthusiastic. I started working with children, and families, when I was 18 years old. I treat children with love as if they were my own. I am intuitive and attentive to all aspects of a infant needs, from diaper changes to being bottle fed, cuddles, tummy time, nap time to making healthy purées. I also love to read, speak and sing to them throughout the day. With older kids, I promote fun and positivity, safety and encourage a child's natural talent. I can also prepare healthy food, keep kids engaged in play, and read stories while giving voices to each character! I love to arrange play dates, help children meet & make new friends, as well as introduce them to their surroundings, neighborhood & nature. I am active and participate in every activity from arts, music classes, to the playground. There's always an adventure to be had! I love cats and have taken care of them and dogs, if you have pets it's ok with me. I am a native of New York City. I have worn many hats throughout life but I feel working with children is the most meaningful and fulfilling line of work. I hope to meet a family that would like me to be a part of a team to help keep their children safe, happy, loved and learning every day. In my spare time, I am passionate about the healing arts, music, meditation, nutrition, writing, film, photography, dancing, swimming, cycling, & yoga. I am currently looking for opportunities to care for children Part Time or Full time for the right family. Please let me know if you have any questions, I hope to hear from you soon! Best wishes, Xiomara

Xiomara is an exceptional nanny who has been wonderfully caring for our 5-month-old daughter Arianna. Her expertise goes far beyond basic childcare - she brings a thoughtful, creative approach to engaging our baby. Her activities are carefully designed to support Arianna's development, including tummy time, reading, interactive playtime, and introducing musical experiences by playing music and bringing her own musical instruments. What sets Xiomara apart is her perfect balance of being both calm and energetic, adapting her approach to our baby's needs. She is extremely cautious and safety-conscious, carefully monitoring our daughter during activities and outings. She listens attentively to our parental instructions and demonstrates a genuine, holistic care for our baby's health, emotional well-being, and developmental progress. The most heartwarming aspect is how much our baby loves her - Arianna always greets Xiomara with a big, joyful smile, which speaks volumes about the wonderful connection they've developed. We are delighted to have Xiomara as part of our small family and look forward to continuing our wonderful journey together.

Booked by 76 families in Hoboken, NJ

***Please check my calendar for the most accurate view of my availability.*** Hello parents and guardians! Thank you so much for visiting my profile. My name is Jennifer. I am responsible, creative, patient, fascinated with child development, and most importantly love to embrace my inner child. The majority of my experience has been with children as young as 2 weeks old up to 14 years. I consider myself a big advocate of child-directed play, learning, and exploring but of course within a structure. I believe that children do best in environments where they are respected and understood. Having a caregiver understand how you feel as a child, and empathize with your feelings, while still setting boundaries, makes a big difference in their lives. I also LOVE furbabies, whether they're dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I’m a huge animal lover and enjoy interacting with them. I offer my services as a pet sitter as well, so please feel free to inquire about this. My favorite thing to do is travel to different places. My hobbies are photography, video editing, and writing. 🔸 SAFE COMMUTE: To ensure my safety and because things have changed drastically since early 2020, I require a car (Uber, Lyft, Curb, etc.) from or to your home depending on the time when your booking ends or starts. These apply for bookings that either start before 8:00 a.m. or that end after 8:00 p.m. (20:00). 🔸HOLIDAY RATES: When working holidays I do ask for 1.5x my standard rate. Please check my calendar for availability! It is updated daily but if there’s a time slot you need and don’t see available, please message me to inquire about it! 🔸CANCELLATION POLICY: I understand things may come up requiring you to cancel. I require 48 hours' notice for any cancellations. For less than 48 hours' notice, I charge 50% of the time booked. For cancellations of less than 24 hours’ notice, I require full payment for the time booked. This can be paid through a variety of money transfer apps: Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, or Paypal.

"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)."
