Booked by 2 families in Kearny, NJ

I’m an active New Yorker based in the Chelsea area, a current college student pursuing my bachelors in Digital Communications at Baruch College. I always aim to support each family’s unique approach to childcare. If parents prefer minimal screen time, I’m happy to encourage that through engaging play, meaningful conversation, and creative activities. I’m energetic, enthusiastic, and never afraid to get down on the floor to join in their little world, making playtime both fun and enriching, ensuring your child has a caregiver who can match their excitement and curiosity. Most importantly, I believe in mirroring the way parents connect with their children, so that care feels consistent, comfortable, and aligned with your values. I’m an avid moviegoer and I also enjoy crocheting and painting which are hobbies I love to incorporate into play and activities with kids whenever possible. Have pets? 🐾 no problem! I love animals and have my own fur baby that is my entire world. Parents, If you are considering me to watch your little ones, I’d be more than happy to hop on a call via zoom and/or via cell if needed.

Booked by 1 family in Kearny, NJ

I have a strong background in caregiving with experience supporting children, and households. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, including newborns, toddlers, and school-age children, and I really enjoy creating fun, safe, and educational activities for them. I also have experience caring for seniors, including my grandmother who had Alzheimer’s, which gave me patience, empathy, and a deeper understanding of how to provide comfort and support. I’m responsible, organized, and detail-oriented, which helps me with household services such as light cleaning, meal preparation, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. I also love animals and have cared for pets, so I’m comfortable helping families with them as well. What really makes me a good caregiver is my caring personality, patience, and adaptability. I connect easily with people, and I always try to bring kindness and reliability into everything I do.

“My 2.5 yr old had a wonderful afternoon with Isadora! He warmed up to her immediately and had so much fun playing with her. My son is often quiet/reserved around babysitters, but Isadora had him happily chatting the whole time. Isadora was punctual, communicative, and seems like a natural around children. We look forward to having her back!”

Booked by 4 families in Kearny, NJ

Hi, I’m Brianna and I am a preschool teacher in the Manhattan area offering occasional nannying services for toddlers/pre-K children, housework, and pet care. I’ve been teaching preschool for four years, but have had a lifetime of experience taking care of my younger siblings and cousins. I have a great passion for early childhood education and I love working with little ones. I can help with homework for younger children, housework, and any pets! (I have two dogs and a fish of my own). I love doing arts and crafts activities as well and would always love to spend an afternoon introducing children to different creative outlets! I have experience taking children on day trips, on public transport, navigating the city, and eating in public. I also have potty training experience as well and can help with that transition if needed. I’m a dedicated caregiver who wants to be an extra hand to families who need one every now and then!

“Brianna was really professional and was so good at engaging with and interacting with my kid. They were respectful, knowledgeable and warm. Would absolutely hire again. ”

Booked by 3 families in Kearny, NJ

As the oldest sibling of 4, I really have a knack for entertaining kids. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to work early morning and late nights. I was a camp counselor for 4 years so I have a lot of experience with kids from the ages of 4 - 16. I also have spent 3 years nannying for a family who had an infant, so I also have infant experience.

“Great!”

"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)."
