$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Odessa, and I’m a recent graduate from Montclair State University with my BFA in Fine Arts. I’m passionate about working with kids and pets. I bring a creative, responsible, and caring approach to caregiving. I have been working with children ages 4–17 since 2021 through my roles as an art instructor and assistant at summer camps. These experiences allowed me to engage kids in fun, creative activities while fostering their growth and confidence. During high school at Montclair High, I babysat children ages 2–7, taking on responsibilities like keeping them active with crafts and games, helping with homework, preparing meals, and maintaining bedtime routines. I also have experience dog walking and house sitting since 2023, managing tasks like feeding, walking three times daily, and ensuring pets are cared for and comfortable. I’m currently available to babysit or dog sit, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. My background in art and childcare allows me to connect with kids in unique and enriching ways, and my organizational skills and reliability make me a trusted caregiver for your home or pets.

Kenya Harrison
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Kenya. I am a college graduate with my Bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. I have multiple years of experience in child care starting from when I was 14, which also includes caring for child on the spectrum and those with behavioral challenges. I have been working professionally with 2 families for the past 4+ years. I love everything about children and plan to pursue a career in social work. My responsibilities caring for children range from assisting with pick up and drop off to and from school. I’m also well equipped to handle arts and crafts projects as well as homework assistance. I also work as a household assistant cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I don’t have any allergies to pets so I can also assist with dog walking and caring for most animals.

"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)."
