Charlotte $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I'm an 18-year-old babysitter based in Weehawken, NJ. I hold CPR and Babysitting Certifications from the American Red Cross and have six years of hands-on experience with children of all ages — from newborns and toddlers to preteens up to age 11. I bring more than just childcare to the table. I'm happy to help with light cooking, cleaning, and keeping the home tidy while you're away. With nine years of martial arts training, I'm calm under pressure and fully capable of keeping every child in my care safe and protected. I love keeping kids active and engaged — whether that means a trip to the park, a fun activity, or just making the most of an afternoon at home. Whatever the day calls for, I show up ready. I'm a licensed driver, available all summer on weekdays and weekends, and open to relocating wherever I'm needed. I'd love to be a dependable, positive sitter for your family! (I attend Highschool from 8am-3pm till June 18th)

Raquel $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been working with kids for seven years and am currently Nanny, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience. I love helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I'm patient, creative, and responsible, with experience caring for kids of all ages. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while keeping things fun. I also make sure to keep parents updated in whatever way works best for them. I have a car, I'm good with pets, and I speak both English and Portuguese. I'd love to get to know your family!

Sofia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sofia, a 24-year-old caregiver with several years of hands-on experience supporting children — especially toddlers and preschoolers — through developmental therapy, babysitting, and child-led learning. My background includes working with children in early intervention settings using D.I.R./Floortime approaches to support cognitive growth, sensory regulation, emotional expression, and motor planning. I’ve worked one-on-one in homes to help kids meet milestones, manage transitions, and navigate big emotions through connection and co-regulation. In addition to my therapy experience, I’ve provided consistent nanny and babysitting care for families with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m a strong believer in respectful, responsive caregiving, and I love creating environments where children feel safe, seen, and celebrated. Whether it’s building sensory bins, planning simple routines, or supporting nap time with calm consistency, I bring warmth and intention to my work. I’m also a great fit for families looking for someone reliable, grounded, and flexible. I currently work a hybrid part-time schedule which gives me flexibility Monday through Friday. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets, following Montessori-inspired or gentle parenting approaches, and being a calm presence during high-energy moments (tantrums don’t scare me!). Some quick facts: -I have my own reliable transportation and am punctual -I’m based in the Hudson/Bergen County area and open to nearby travel -I'm Bilingual (spanish speaking) -I love sensory play, nature walks, music, and simple creative activities -I’m open to long-term roles, part-time care, or summer-only positions Whether you're a parent looking for structured, engaging support during the week, or someone who needs reliable, developmentally-aware care for your little ones, I’d love to see if we’re a match. Thank you for considering me!

"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

"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)."
