Katherine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m an outgoing, friendly, and positive caregiver who loves working with kids and helping them feel safe, engaged, and happy. I’m bilingual (Spanish–English) and have 2+ years of experience leading children’s programs, including fitness coaching, summer camps, and family activities. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, responsible, and creative — I enjoy planning fun games, reading, and keeping kids active while making sure they’re safe and cared for. Parents describe me as sweet, reliable, and charismatic, and I pride myself on building strong connections with both children and families. I’d love the chance to support your family with dependable, caring babysitting.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Kearny, NJ

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an experienced caregiver and recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. I currently work full time as an Operations Specialist at a high school, where I support over 500 students and help manage the day to day systems that keep the school running smoothly. Alongside my professional role, I babysit part time because childcare has always been something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I have years of hands on experience caring for children of all ages, including babysitting for family, friends, and private clients. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged with creative play, organizing fun and enriching activities, helping with homework, or maintaining structured routines, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel supported and comfortable. I’m First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, so safety is always a top priority in my care. Additionally, I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese and am happy to communicate in whichever language best supports your family’s needs. Beyond childcare, I also have experience with pet care, so if you have furry family members, they’ll be well looked after too! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring community events, and playing chess. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide loving, dependable care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Fabiana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Fabian I recently moved to Manhattan after spending a year working at a daycare in Long Island 💖 I have experience caring for children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids and I absolutely love creating fun and meaningful moments with them. From arts and crafts to helping with homework or simply playing and making them laugh, I bring both structure and joy into their daily routine🫶🏻 While working at the daycare, I gained valuable hands-on experience and developed a deep understanding of children’s needs, especially in early childhood. I’m comfortable with dogs and other pets, and I’m happy to help with walking, feeding, or playtime. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and energetic, I’d love to be part of your family’s support system!

Jordan $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with kids since middle school, starting by babysitting my little sister and tutoring peers, which sparked my love for helping children learn and grow. By 8th grade, I was an assistant teacher at Hebrew school and babysat my Rabbi’s daughter. In high school, I became a YMCA lifeguard (CPR certified) and taught swim lessons at summer camp. Throughout college, I spent four years as a certified tutor at the Boys & Girls Club, helping kids from 1st through 12th grade with reading, writing, math, and study skills. I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied Psychology and Economics, and have an intermediate level of Spanish. I love working with kids—watching their imagination develop, fostering their curiosity, and helping them learn. I also grew up with seven dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pets and happy to help with them too.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
