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!

Augusta $25 per hour for 1 child

I grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a bug jar in the other, and that's pretty much still true. As a recent Sarah Lawrence graduate steeped in art and culture, I'd love to share that curiosity with kids — turning a rainy afternoon into an art studio on the kitchen table, or a walk to the corner store into a scavenger hunt through history and nature. I believe kids learn best outside, hands dirty, following whatever's caught their attention — a beetle on the sidewalk, a cloud shaped like a dragon, the story behind a statue in the park. I've babysat for family and friends for years, bringing genuine curiosity rather than a checklist of activities. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so safety's never an afterthought, but I leave room for spontaneity — fort-building, bedtime, and everything between. I show up present and invested, because the best part of this work is watching a kid's face when they've made or discovered something new.

Beatriz $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Little Ferry, NJ

With over six years of teaching experience, I bring a deep understanding of child development and education to every caregiving role. Most recently, I taught second grade at Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, following several years of teaching in San Francisco public schools. I hold a Master’s in Elementary Education and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, which together give me a well-rounded perspective on the academic, emotional, and developmental needs of children, especially in the elementary age range. My approach to caregiving is rooted in empathy, consistency, and clear communication. I create environments where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged to be curious. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I value the importance of both structure and play. My background allows me to support children not only in their day-to-day routines but also in fostering their confidence, independence, and emotional well-being.

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a recent graduate of Bennington College where I studied Visual Arts and Poetry. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services! I love being a babysitter. I took care of the same family all throughout high school (4 years) watching two toddler-aged into kid-aged children and a dog. My responsibilities included helping with homework, doing crafts, transportation to/from extracurricular activities, walking the dog, and playing by the pool. For the past two summers I have worked as a camp counselor for ages ranging 5-12 years old. Both being out in nature, I have experience supervising children at lakes and oceans, leading hiking, and creating/teaching arts and crafts activities. I feel passionate about fostering creativity within kids through art! I have 10+ years experience volunteering with children with developmental and behavioral special needs. I am trained in behavior management and feel equipped to handle most cases. I am offering pet and household services as well. I have grown up with multiple cats and dogs so am used to animals and love them! I can do household tasks as well including cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for plants. I am First-Aid and CPR certified!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
