Booked by 2 families in Leonia, NJ

Hello, my name is Yralis Consuegra, a 43-year-old Colombian single mother with a bachelor's degree in accounting assistance. Today marks my last day after 11 years of dedicated service in customer service, where my primary goal was ensuring customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, the company sold its stores, but I see this as an opportunity to embrace change and pursue my passion for childcare. I moved to this beautiful country 17 years ago, carrying many personal dreams for myself and my son. Now, as my son is about to graduate from university, I have the time and opportunity to share my love and care with other children. I am an honest, responsible person with a great sense of humor. I love interacting with people, cooking, learning, teaching, traveling, and exploring different cultures. I hope to bring love, care, and happiness to the children I look after, helping them grow into joyful and well-rounded individuals. Thank you for considering me as a babysitter for your family. I look forward to the opportunity to provide the best care and support for your children.

Amelie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve been babysitting since I was 12, and over the years I’ve cared for kids of all ages. Most of my jobs came to me through word of mouth and referrals from neighbors, family friends, and local families who trust me. I’ve also looked after pets (cats, dogs, snakes, and even fish!) and I’m comfortable juggling the moving parts of a busy household while keeping things calm and safe. I especially enjoy working with slightly older kids around 9 or 10, but I also do great with toddlers and younger children, making sure they’re engaged, cared for, and having fun. I completed a babysitting training course when I was younger where I earned my CPR certification and learned how to care for children safely and responsibly. I’m reliable, communicative, and open to overnights on occasion. Above all, I want families to feel like they can fully trust me, that their kids are not only safe but genuinely happy and comfortable in my care.

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 32 families in Leonia, NJ

Hi, my name is Taina and I’m an NYU Tandon School of Engineering 2020 graduate in Biomolecular Science. I’m a pre-med school student studying to become a doctor and biomedical engineer. I have 10+ years of experience with babysitting/tutoring, being from Queens, N.Y. I was always babysitting/tutoring young boys and girls as young as newborns all the way up to the age of 15. I love children and being a babysitter allows me to form a connection with kids and gives me a good sense of what it means to be a caretaker and provider for my future profession in the medical career. I hope to one day become a pediatrician and serve the coming generations of our future. I’m also a Licensed Emergency Medical Technician and I’m extremely knowledgeable in my field. I’m very patient and responsible and have a true passion for working with kids. If you have any additional questions for me I’m always happy to answer them. My hourly rate is also negotiable based on family size and responsibilities. Thank you so much and have an amazing day!

"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)."
