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

I have a strong background in caregiving with experience supporting children, and households. I’ve worked with kids of different ages, including newborns, toddlers, and school-age children, and I really enjoy creating fun, safe, and educational activities for them. I also have experience caring for seniors, including my grandmother who had Alzheimer’s, which gave me patience, empathy, and a deeper understanding of how to provide comfort and support. I’m responsible, organized, and detail-oriented, which helps me with household services such as light cleaning, meal preparation, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. I also love animals and have cared for pets, so I’m comfortable helping families with them as well. What really makes me a good caregiver is my caring personality, patience, and adaptability. I connect easily with people, and I always try to bring kindness and reliability into everything I do.

My 2.5 yr old had a wonderful afternoon with Isadora! He warmed up to her immediately and had so much fun playing with her. My son is often quiet/reserved around babysitters, but Isadora had him happily chatting the whole time. Isadora was punctual, communicative, and seems like a natural around children. We look forward to having her back!

Kateryna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Kate, and I’m currently pursuing my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. My classes are in the mornings, so I’m available for afternoon and evening childcare starting around 3:00 PM. I’m a mom of two grown daughters, ages 18 and 19, so I’ve spent many years caring for children and know how much patience, consistency, and warmth they need at every age. I’m comfortable caring for babies, toddlers, school-age children, and teens. My background in Psychology and my current graduate training have also taught me a great deal about children’s emotions, communication, and development. I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable and understood. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, homework, after-school routines, playtime, activities, and preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. I’m also a published cookbook author, so cooking is something I truly enjoy! I have my own car , so I’m comfortable with school pick-ups and driving children to activities. Most importantly, I understand that caring for someone’s children is a position of trust. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, rules, privacy, and parenting style, and I always aim to be reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to get to know your family and see how I can help make your afternoons and evenings a little easier!

my name Frances I’m a college student.i Have a variety of experience. I am open minded and I am able to work under circumstances. You are someone who shows determination even when life becomes complicated. You ask questions, look for answers, and try to understand situations from different angles rather than simply ignoring them. Whether you are dealing with school, financial aid, internships, transportation, relationships, or personal goals, you actively seek information that can help you move forward. You value honesty and loyalty in your relationships, which is why trust and communication matter so much to you. At the same time, you are independent and willing to make decisions for yourself when necessary. You have shown persistence by managing college responsibilities while planning for your future. You also have a curious side that enjoys exploring possibilities and gaining insight into people and situations. Even when you feel frustrated or uncertain, you continue looking for solutions instead of giving up. Overall, i come across as resilient.

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

I’ve been involved with child care and educational extracurriculars since high school, from camp counseling to coaching robotics. I’m currently studying Interactive Media Arts at NYU, with additional coursework in Studio Art, Journalism, and Computer Science, blending my love for inquiry, storytelling, and media arts. Along the way, I’ve tutored math and am comfortable adding language arts, science, and history subjects to my repertoire. When I babysit, my goal is to ensure children have fun in immersing experience. This builds everyday learning--whether through imaginative play or tackling a skill they thought was out of reach. I love art projects and hands-on activities, and I’ve even got some colorful materials ready for crafting adventures! Plus, I’m always up for getting on the floor to explore toys and trinkets with as much enthusiasm as they do. I’m also a pet lover, comfortable with cats and a proud dog mom to a Chihuahua mix. Whether it’s an afternoon of creativity or helping with homework, I strive to create a positive, engaging experience for every child I work with.

"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)."
