Booked by 11 families in Merchantville, NJ

Hello! My name is Ella and I’m 25 years old. I have a degree in international business and finance and currently I’m studying English. Looking to learn and grow with your family for several months or even years! I love working with kids. I have a clean driving record, experience driving with kids (I had daily outings to the park, library, zoo, etc) and experience caring for newborns until 7 years old kids. I love coming up with creative activities to do with children and bringing out their artistic side. I want to provide care that is a unique fit for you and your family. I am able to provide excellent references upon request! I’m also CPR certified and fully vaccinated. Feel free to email me at [removed] if you would like to schedule an initial meeting to see if we might be a good fit!

We had a wonderful experience with Ella. She is very kind and caring. My 2-year-old felt comfortable with her right away. She left everything tidy when we came back and you can genuinely tell she is a good listener and empathetic, making her excellent with children. I highly recommend her!

Booked by 37 families in Merchantville, NJ

hello Parents/Guardians, I'm 27 years old and I currently attend school for child psychology. I've been working with children for 10 years in different fields while gaining a lot of experience. I love being a caregiver because it gives me an opportunity to make a difference in the world rather it encouraging, helping, and motivating children to reach their potential, that's my main goal as a caregiver. hope to hear from you Kera

We hired Kera to look after our 8-year-old after school, and we agreed to pay her the hourly rate she wanted ($19). She explained to us that "communication is really important to me," and she confirmed the night before she was scheduled to start that she would be at our 8-year-old's bus stop at the arranged time to pick him up. The next day, her first for us, she no-showed without texting, calling, or any communication at all. Consequently, when our 3rd grader was dropped off by the bus, he was alone, with no one to walk him home (across a busy road). Fortunately, a kindly neighbor saw this and walked him across the street and to our house, where he let himself in. We texted Kera, called her, and wrote her through the Urban Sitters app. Heard NOTHING. She completely ghosted us. Do not hire this person under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!

Hi! My name is Astrid (she/her), and I'm from Santa Fe, New Mexico. I lived in North Carolina for 6 years, first for my undergraduate degree and later for my occupational therapy doctorate. As part of my OT training, I’ve been on rotations in Seattle and Baltimore over the last 6 months. I’m now in Philadelphia for my capstone project, and I am offering childcare and elder care services. I started babysitting as a teenager, and have had the privilege to meet the most wonderful, caring, and special families throughout my childcare experience. I started working with older adults in 2024, and I am beyond grateful for the time, stories, and joy I’ve been able to share across generations.

Booked by 4 families in Merchantville, NJ

Hi! My name is Kir, I recently moved to the area after graduating college with a bachelors in mathematics. I'm excited to help out with babysitting and household care. I have experience with kids anywhere in the 1-12 age range, and am happy to help out with getting homework and chores done. I have been cooking for my family, including younger siblings, for a long time, and know well how to feed picky eaters. I do not drive, but can assist with getting to local extracurriculars and activities. I love dogs and cats, and can make sure all their needs are taken care of. I am also First Aid/CPR certified.

Kir is wonderful! They communicate well, are timely and professional, and have boundless energy to keep up with my active 5yo. I can’t recommend Kir enough!

"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)."
