I've taken care of children for many years and it's a fulfilling, and fun experience. I love working alongside with parents to care for kids of all ages; newborns, infants, toddlers etc., seeing them through the different stages, watching them progress and being proactive in their growth and development is fun, it's interesting, educational and a rewarding experience! It's something I truly love and enjoy doing especially because there are so many laughable, precious and unforgettable moments!

Booked by 2 families in Leonia, NJ

Hi I’m Carlota! I love to take care of kids since I remember as I’m the older of 3. I must confess I have a weakness for toddlers but I can manage with any age. :) I’m Mexican, studied international relations in Mexico City and my hobbies are reading, going to museums, ice skating and cooking. Of course would love to share this experiences with your kids! I used to take care of girl twins of two years old, was an amazing experience for me as we had an especial bond. They moved to Singapore so I’m seeking for ocasional jobs with lovely families. By now I have experience with newborns, babies and kids, it’s being a ride!

$4 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Leonia, NJ

Hi, I’m Diane I treat every dog or cat I care for like they’re my own, with love, and patience As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of sticking to a routine, so if you have specific instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure to follow them closely. If your dog usually gets shorter walks, I’m happy to extend those to 45 minutes or more, depending on their needs. I’m also open to taking your pet to the dog park if that’s what they enjoy, or if they prefer some quieter indoor time, I’m more than happy to stay with them inside. Whether it’s a few days of sitting or just a walk, I’ll keep you updated with daily check-ins to make sure you know how your pet is doing. You can count on me to give your pet the same care and attention I give my own.

"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)."
