Derek 2 reviews
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hey There! I’m Derek i’ve worked at the YMCA since I was 14, spending over 4 years of experience in aftercare and summer camp for kids aged all the way from 3-13. I currently have my CPR, Med-Admin, and Child Care Certifications up to date. I’ve been told i’m patient and playful, great for keeping kids active and engaged. I’ve also had pets my whole life, big and small, so I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, sitting or any light household task. I’m more than happy to help with any elder care. Currently a sophomore at Pace University and I bring energy and care into each job guaranteed, always ready to help when needed!

Derek is an amazing babysitter! He is dependable, punctual, and clearly loves working with kids. My child felt comfortable and happy right away, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the evening. I felt at ease knowing my child was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Booked by 63 families in Kearny, NJ

Hello Everyone!! I'm Alycia and I am 29 years old. I graduated from Pace university in lower Manhattan studying health science. I have about 13 years of experience babysitting for different families around New Jersey and New York. Also, I am the oldest of my 3 siblings and take care of them whenever my parents need me to. The ages that I have experience babysitting for are ages 4 months to 10 years. I worked as a children's party host for 3 years, in which children of different ages were entrusted to my care. My duties as a party host were to make sure that each child was fed, safe, and having fun at all times. At my job, the minimum amount of kids I would watch at a time would be 10 and the maximum could be up to 25. I am very creative, organized, energetic, and friendly. As a babysitter, I believe it's important to keep the kids engaged so I love to play games, activities, and crafts. I hope that I am the right fit for your family ! I can supply references upon request .Thank you !

Booked by 4 families in Kearny, NJ

My name is Keliza , I am 24 a year old native Spanish speaker (written, spoken, and translation) raised in the city of New york. My skills include cooking, tutoring, arts and crafts, organizing and cleaning. Fostering a safe, clean and healthy enviornment for the developement and mental health of a child is of great importance to me. (I am vaccinated) I have 6+ years of experience working with children between the ages 2-13 (will provide references upon request) as well as infants. With this experience I have honed great communication skills with both children and families. My years of experience also come with easily adapting and understanding the individual needs of each baby/child/teen I encounter. I am CPR certified and First Aid Certified. I am dependable, well organized with attention to detail, patient, and responsible. I am also always open to background checks.

Keliza was super professional and super organized and thorough! I would definitely hire her again to help me organize my closet and cupboards.

$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a patient, compassionate, and dependable caregiver with experience caring for children, pets, and maintaining a clean home. I have worked with children since the age of 14 and naturally connect with them through my nurturing, calm, and attentive personality. I am currently 20 years old and expecting my own child, which has deepened my understanding of how important trust, safety, and reassurance are for parents. I also have about a year of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I understand that pets are family too. In addition, I am reliable with household cleaning and organization and take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I am kind, responsible, adaptable, and truly passionate about caregiving.

She was so kind and thoughtful. I never truly had a certain babysitter to watch my children so this was a last minute thing. She made sure everything was taken care of and my kids absolutely adored her. Even stayed a little when I returned to help me with a few things. I would definitely hire her 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)."
