Booked by 1 family in Little Ferry, NJ

As one of 7 children and a certified special needs caregiver in Washington State, I have a lifetime of experience for your child no matter their level of needs. I’m a 21 year old NYU writing student who loves to play and explore the imaginations of the children I care for. I’ve had experience with ages newborn-13 years old and have been nannying for 9 years, taking care of the home, taking children to and from school/daycare/extracurriculars, preparing meals, and handling bedtime. You can count on me to go on new adventures, start exciting creative projects, and go all in during playtime with your child. I love to get to know and be comfortable with the entire family so that your child can feel at peace with me in your home. Hope to meet you and your family soon <3

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Little Ferry, NJ

Hi! I'm Shadiyah – a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver. I'm 34 years old, a proud Hunter College graduate, and a devoted mother to a teenage daughter who's now off following her dreams at boarding school in San Francisco. My passion for caretaking began in childhood, inspired by my grandmother’s nurturing example. Over the years, I’ve cared for many families across different communities, supporting children of all ages. In addition to babysitting, my responsibilities have included meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and transportation to and from after-school activities. I bring over a decade of experience working in the New York City public school system (Pre-K–12), along with more than 5 years in child welfare. These roles have equipped me with a deep understanding of children’s developmental and emotional needs. I believe in balancing structure with play and love creating fun, educational activities that support both learning and creativity. I use positive discipline and gentle guidance, but I can be assertive when needed. I'm also a lifelong animal lover and pet owner—currently the proud mom of a sweet dog—so I’m happy to care for furry friends as well. It brings me great joy to support a child's growth, exploration, and imagination. I’d be honored to be part of your family's journey and look forward to meeting you soon!

Nardalina 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nardalina, I have a genuine passion for working with children. My journey began in high school when I started babysitting for close friends and family. What began as a side hustle quickly grew into something I truly loved. During my freshman year of college, my mother opened a family daycare, where I worked part-time caring for children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. During this time I achieved my OCFS certification and CPR certification. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience in nurturing, engaging, and supporting children through every stage of early development. I've cherished every moment-from watching little ones hit their milestones to building the kind of bond that lasts long after the day ends. It brings me so much joy to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where kids can thrive. I would love to meet your little ones and make meaningful memories with them!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nardalina care for our three children over the past two years, and she has truly become a part of our family. From the very beginning, Nardalina showed incredible warmth, patience, and a natural ability to connect with each of our kids. She created a loving, safe, and structured environment where our children thrived. Whether it was school runs, preparing meals, helping with homework, or simply playing and engaging with them, she handled every task with professionalism, care, and joy. Nardalina is exceptionally reliable, always punctual, and someone we trusted completely. She communicated clearly with us every day, keeping us informed and always putting the kids' well-being first. Our children absolutely adore her, and we were constantly impressed by how much love and attention she gave them. We are beyond grateful for everything Nardalina has done for our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as their nanny. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Trent $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Little Ferry, NJ

Hi! My name is Trent, and I’ve always had a heart for caring for others, whether it’s children, seniors, or anyone who needs support. I studied Drama and Education at New York University, where I developed a deep understanding of child/adolescent development, learning styles, diversity, and inclusion. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified for all ages. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I grew up with a younger brother with Down Syndrome, Autism, and Type 1 diabetes, and I have been a caregiver to him my whole life. I have also worked at a special needs kids' gym, which has given me a lot of experience in watching children of all abilities. What I love most about caregiving is the chance to make someone’s day a little easier, brighter, and more joyful. Building trust with families and forming real connections with the people I care for is what keeps me inspired every day. When I’m not caregiving, you’ll usually find me outdoors, reading a new book, or working on a creative project. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always ready to help. I’d love the opportunity to support your family—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."

"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)."
