Hi! My name is Laura, and I’m a caring and responsible nanny based in New Jersey. I have experience working closely with children of different ages, and what I truly love about it is how naturally they connect to movement, creativity, and play. I bring a calm, attentive, and positive energy, creating a safe space where kids feel comfortable, seen, and engaged. I have a background in dance and body awareness, which allows me to connect with children in a more intuitive and playful way — whether it’s through movement, creative activities, or simply being present with them. I’m reliable, patient, and very mindful of each child’s unique personality and needs. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease, so I always prioritize clear communication and trust.

Laura was fantastic with our two kids. She arrived promptly and immediately connected with the children, while in ‘listening mode’ as to schedule and the plan for the day, which she followed perfectly. She was super warm and engaging, and I felt very confident in the care she was giving. She was able to manage two children with ease and calm, and they both loved her. We would definitely use Laura again!

Hi there! It’s great to meet you, I’m Valentina, a former NYC nanny and long-time NYer who is coming out of nanny retirement while I figure out next steps in my career. I recently moved to North Jersey and am looking to meet new families in the area! I am a very caring and proactive nanny in terms of safety and avoiding tantrums, I love kids, and am so happy to have a niece and nephew now! I have an excellent track record and recent /additional references available upon request. I speak Spanish and love to do crafts and games with kids, and have extensive experience with multiple kids at once, infants and kids of all ages. I am happy to take kids on any adventures, to museums or to the pool or ferry. I also have experience teaching kids and people of all ages how to swim, if that is of interest as well! I taught swim lessons at the Peddie School in NJ for many years, and was a former lifeguard. I am looking forward to connecting and meeting your family! -Valentina

I can tell she is super engaging. Valentina was also on time and communicative.

Booked by 4 families in Maywood, NJ

Hi, I’m Caroly. I’m offering child care and household services. I’m CPR certified. I like being a babysitter because I worked with kids and teenagers for many years as a teacher in Peru. Then I started babysitting here since 2022. I took care of 3 kids at the same time (6, 9, 11) . My responsibilities have included: * drop/ pick up from school * Take them to after school activities * Help with homework * Make snacks/ light dinner for kids * Keep their rooms organized * Take them to the park, play dates, cinema, etc * Do art & crafts * Play and spend fun time together l work as a household assistant and can, clean, help with laundry and run errands. Also, I want to let you know that I had a baby last year so now I can say that I have experience with babies, too. I am also happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

Caroly was prompt and responsive to my son and did an amazing job with some great creative activities and engaging play with him. I would definitely recommend her thoughtful and kind approach.

"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)."
