Booked by 1 family in Lyndhurst, NJ

I am punctual, hard working, and communicative! I have worked with kids as a party princess and a babysitter. I just got off a cruise ship contract where I worked with the elderly. I have also pet & house sit for animals and spaces of all kinds!

Sophia was wonderful! She arrived on time and she brought some activities for the kids. I loved the way she engaged with them. It’s obvious she has cared for children before and that she genuinely enjoys being with them. She’s also bright and articulate. A super good role model.

Jeannie $75 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jeannie and I’m a writing coach. I am a proud native New Yorker who went through the NYC school system myself and I deeply understand the transformative power of academic mentorship. My tutoring journey began in 2020, when I started helping elementary school students navigate math during the pandemic. I later worked as an academic writing specialist at Columbia University to help first-year master’s students refine their writing. My background in journalism fuels my approach to tutoring. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and build genuine connections with my students. I am highly committed to each student’s progress, customizing my teaching to fit their individual learning goals.

Mikaela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mikaela, and I’m originally from New York. I’ve been living in the city for the past eight years and have several years of hands-on experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 12. From the age of 17 to 21, I worked full-time as a babysitter for a pair of twin girls. My responsibilities included everything from after-school pick-up and homework help to preparing dinner and getting them to their after-school activities. I’ve always loved working with kids, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of their growth and to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I bring a calm, positive attitude to every family I work with. I’d be a great fit for any babysitting job and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can.

"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)."
