Booked by 45 families in Kearny, NJ

My name is Justine I have been working with children and family’s for over 10 years. I have experience with children with special needs as well. I am able to complete house chores extra curricular activities. I have worked with multiple families and don’t mind being on call when needed. I also do nanny share depending on what you like. I have in the past done tutoring and homework help. I am very flexible and willing to be of help where I can.

“We were incredibly lucky to have Justine as our night babysitter from the time our son was born. She took care of him 5 and sometimes 6 nights a week for over three months, and her support made an enormous difference for our family during those early weeks. Justine is exceptionally caring, attentive, and trustworthy. She has a real gift with babies and was always generous with helpful tips, reassurance, and practical advice. Her communication was proactive and clear, she kept us informed, anticipated needs, and made sure we always felt confident and at ease. We truly felt that our son was in the best hands, and her calm, professional presence allowed us to rest and recover. We would recommend Justine without hesitation to anyone looking for a night babysitter or newborn care, she is simply wonderful.”

Booked by 42 families in Kearny, NJ

I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter working with children ranging from newborn through elementary age. I also have a background in theater and love bringing that creativity and energy into my work with children. I view my role as a nanny as a teacher and believe children learn best through engagement, play, and exploration. I make it a priority to be fully present with the child rather than distracted by my phone. I enjoy taking children to museums, parks, libraries, and other activities that encourage curiosity and social development. I also have experience working in Early Childhood Education with a teaching style closely aligned with Montessori principles. I believe in positive redirection and creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore independently. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to incorporate Spanish language exposure if interested. Coming from a Latin culture, I enjoy exposing children to different cuisines while always respecting dietary restrictions and family preferences. Depending on the child’s age, I also like involving them in meal prep and hands-on learning experiences. In addition to childcare, I enjoy helping maintain a clean and organized home through tidying, bottle cleaning, and meal prep support. I am currently part of the NYU Teacher Residency program and am seeking part-time work until my program begins in August.

Hi, my name is Suman. I am a skilled babysitter who has a long term experience with kids. I have a cheerful personality so kids get along with me pretty well. Currently work in Finance at a global company; doing babysitting as a side gig. i charge $30 per hour because I understand how refreshing it is to come back to a clean house after a fun night out. Therefore, not only will i provide babysitting service, but will also leave your house/kitchen clean and tidy. I make sure to clean up around the house and organize. I wash any leftover dishes in the sink so you don’t have to! You will get your money’s worth for sure. A little more about me: I have worked at a tutoring center 'KUMON' in the past. I have childcare experience with more than 30 families and i am able to provide great references upon request. -I graduated from Rutgers Business School in August 2021 CPR/AED certified/non-smoker. -Patient and able to engage with kids using non-technological resources such as singing, reading books, playing with toys, coloring, painting, playing outside. (parents should be willing to pay for uber for one time babysitting requests) My hobbies include weight lifting. (i am also a certified personal trainer)

Hi - my name is Angelina I love babysitting and have been working with kids for a little over a decade now. My experience includes everything from watching kids on date nights, picking up to and from school, and working as a child care coordinator at Cal Fit. Most of my experience includes nannying children ages 2-4yrs but I’m fully comfortable watching any age. I can do errands, light cleaning, pick up and drop off, etc. Happy to work with and be flexible with schedules!

Booked by 2 families in Kearny, NJ

Hey everybody! Im Rose! Recently just moved back to New York after having lived in Chicago. I'm currently studying for my masters in social work at Hunter. I have had around 7 years of experience babysitting, and I also have a two year old niece who I've taken care of a lot. I have also spent two years working as a paraprofessional in a high school and then a third grade classroom, working with students with disabilities. I provided behavioral, academic and emotional support to my students and also assisted with classroom management. I have had experience with children from all different ages and backgrounds, and I approach each child as an individual and cater to them in whichever unique way is beneficial to them. I love working with children and embracing their curiosity and individuality. I’m playful, patient, and passionate about creating a nurturing environment that supports children’s development, wellbeing, and confidence. I speak some Spanish as well, because I took a gap year traveling in Latin America. I'd love to meet you, and get to know your children! :)

"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)."
