Hello! I am a Montclair State Alumni, graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health in 2021. I am currently a flight attendant, just looking to help families out when I’m not flying. My schedule does vary month to month, so I’m definitely looking for flexible jobs! :) I started babysitting for other families in college in the Montclair area from different age ranges 8 months - 15 years old. Included drop offs, pick ups, online tutoring during COVID, date nights! Hope to connect :)

Booked by 2 families in Kearny, NJ

Hi!! I am new to this app as of last weekend. I know I don’t have many reviews yet due to this but I’m a hard worker and have experience in this field! In summary: I am a recent college graduate with experience being a swimming instructor for all ages as well as working as a daycare teacher for ages 6 months to 18 months. I love kids and animals. I’ve spent time babysitting since I was 12 to neighborhood kids as well as taken care of animals from dogs to chickens, to bunnies, to chinchillas. I recently am open to work after leaving a teacher job at an incredibly strict charter school. My reason for leaving was my difficulty in dealing with the extremely harsh environment. I don’t command, I teach! I remember too well what being a kid is like and I want to make kids enjoy their lives like I did. You can’t be a kid forever, let them enjoy it. In terms of animals, I have two lovely kittens that I adopted from Animal Haven and have always had multiple pets growing up. I love animals immensely (sometimes more than other adults). They bring a comfort nothing else can and I would love to get to meet and return that comfort to some special critters while you all enjoy time off. In terms of caregiving, I previously worked at a pharmacy for 4 years where I would deliver medicine, food and essentials to residences in nursing homes. I am available to start whenever! I live in Park Slope and would be happy to meet any one in person!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Lucy Babat! I am 22 and a recent Colgate University graduate heading to NYU this fall for a Master's in Social Work. I'm originally from Nashville, TN, where I spent several years nannying and developed a real love for working with young kids, especially infants and toddlers. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the day-to-day of caring for little ones. I like keeping kids engaged with screen free play, hands-on activities, cooking simple meals and snacks, and helping older siblings with homework when needed. I am well versed with infants and am more than comfortable curating age appropriate activities (tummy time, swaddling, soothing, etc). I have also taken many childhood development courses through my psychology major at Colgate. I'm available for the summer and would love to find a great family to spend it with. Please feel free to reach out!

During her time with us, Lucy was responsible for caring for our young children, meal prep, light housework, and accompanying us on activities. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and attuned to our children’s needs. Her abilities to remain positive and calm, while keeping kids engaged and creating a nurturing environment consistently fostered a sense of security, joy, and trust. Our family absolutely adores her, and we always felt confident they were safe and well cared for. She became an important member of our family, and we continue to remain close. I would not hesitate to hire her again and whole heartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny!

"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)."
