Lauren $25 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of experience. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Errands. I have both a first aid and CPR certification. (I am certified in both infant and adult CPR.) I am good with pets, and can assist with those as well (if needed.) A little about me- I am 18 years old, and currently live in Chelsea. I have another part-time nanny job that leaves the hours of 8:30-5:00 fully open for me on school days. I am the oldest child, and have one younger brother who is 16. I have been working as a front desk receptionist at a hair salon since June 2023. I love getting to meet new people, and listen to their stories and experiences! In my free time, I love to read, go for walks with my dogs, bake, hang out with friends, visit with my grandparents, and also organize spaces! I am often referenced as the 'grandma' of my friend group as I like to go to bed early, wake up early, and would rather stay in and read a good book than go out. I have been babysitting/nannying for almost 8 years now, and really enjoy it.

Booked by 1 family in Kearny, NJ

Hi, my name is Najya, and I am a care taker. I have been doing senior care for six years and it has been a pleasure. I offer child care, senior care, and household care. I love working with children the most as they are what I specialize in. From infants to toddlers all of them, bring joy, and that’s what matters most to me. I can cook for young ones, clean after them, and bathe them. I have already raised three children of my own in their younger years bring so much happiness. Caring for young ones is part of the main reason I wanted to start studying to become a nurse! I also provide household help such as cleaning, running errands, laundering, and cooking. I feel that a good deep cleaning can make a house look and feel brand new. Coming home to a cleaned house can be so refreshing and relaxing to most people. I love helping people feel this way which is why I provide this skill. Running errands. Could be difficult task for working parents who need their products, groceries, and even household items on time. An even more difficult task is catching up with loads of laundry to do when you have a messy toddler or simply just a lot of clothes. One thing I love most is making warm, home-cooked meals for families to share. My skills come from cleaning after a family of five, grocery shopping for my family, and always making the best warm meals for my picky eater kids. As hard as it is to find the perfect meal that is tasty, healthy, and to their liking I always aim to satisfy! I have no allergies to dogs or cats so I am happy to sit for them. I am a previous owner of 2 cats who were high maintenance always needed to be brushed, showered, fed, and even taken out to parks. In my opinion they are just the cutest and deserving of a sitter. Moving to the topic of seniors, I have been working with them for a while now. They have always been a pleasure. I always find happiness in helping them finish a plate, or get up for a bath, or even get prepped for a gathering. What I intend from being a care taker is giving by best. Weather it be helping a baby be bathed or pet be combed or even a senior citizen be fed, I live for the warmth of caring for others. Which is why I want to move forward and help all with what ever skills are needed by my clients!!!

Shellie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Shellie, a caring, energetic, and flexible caregiver with 10+ years of experience working with kids from being a full-time nanny, summer camp counselor, and occasional babysitting. I have most of my experience working with toddlers and young children ages (2-10 years old), and kids with ADHD, selective mutism, and anxiety disorders. I’m currently a graduate student studying child psychology. I’m currently a nanny to a family with children ages 3 and 10 years old. This summer, I’m looking for a family to work with while school is out, and if you’re interested into the school year. I started babysitting when I was 16 years old and haven’t stopped working with kids as I love it so much! When I was an undergrad student I worked as a full-time nanny for 3+ years providing weekday care for a family with children ages 4, 6, and 8. In addition to supporting their daily school schedules and extracurriculars, I planned fun activities at home like various arts and crafts projects, scavenger hunts, and dance parties to outings to the aquarium, the beach and museums. I also completed household tasks like meal prep, grocery shopping, laundry, tidying up and general housekeeping. More about me: Born and raised in Miami Beach, FL, I love spending time outdoors playing soccer, cooking healthy homemade meals, and indulging in painting, baking, playing guitar, and reading.

"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)."
