Booked by 3 families in Kearny, NJ

Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!

“Ava has beautiful warm energy and a fun spirit that inspired my girls to begin hugging her almost immediately upon meeting and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of her as a sitter. She took them out to dinner and shopping in SoHo and checked in regularly and, most remarkably (given time change since we are traveling), had them asleep by the time we returned from dinner. 💖”

Wyatt $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Wyatt, I'm 23, and I recently graduated Columbia University. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have lots of experience with kids, both as a babysitter (since middle school) and as a summer camp counselor (throughout high school and college). I have minimal experience with toddlers and no experience with infants, but would love the opportunity to gain experience with these ages. As a babysitter, my responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, and even drum lessons! I love doing magic tricks, playing games, and doing arts and crafts! I also can work as a household assistant and cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am happy to cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks!

Hi My name is Pasika. You can call me Bee. I have been taking care of children for 15 years, college educated with B. S. Degree in Major Nutrition. I have experience caring all ages of children, changing diapers, bottle feeding, making meals and giving baths. I'm motivated and proactive in childcare, household arrangement; arrange activities, play dates, healthy food preparation, etc. I maintain current Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification from American Red Cross. I am non-smoker/drinker. I am reliable, responsible, creative, educated, fun, hard working, care and have infant experience. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. PS. I'm fully vaccinated and boosted!

“We love Bee! We found Bee through UrbanSitter, we originally hired her to watch/care for our son several times for date nights. Soon afterwards, we hired her as our part-time nanny! Although Bee is a bit quiet initially, she lights up with children. Our son (now 10-months old) took to her immediately. Bee is always very patient and fun with him, and I often find them laughing, “chatting,” and playing together. Bee is very sweet with our older dog as well, she is always on time, and great with sticking to the baby’s daily schedule (feedings, nap time, going for walks, etc.). We provided detailed instructions for caring for our son (I.e. he has eczema and needs cream applied regularly and diapers changed very frequently) and she has been meticulous in following any instructions. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially to parents with infants, babies, and small 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)."
