Maria $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a professional nanny with 12+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I began working with children at 16 and have built a strong, reliable career in childcare ever since. I’m confident managing multiple children, maintaining routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, and providing calm, attentive care. Safety, communication, and consistency are always my top priorities, and I take pride in being dependable and proactive. I’m especially available for weekend care, including long days, evenings, and date nights. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with driving children when needed, and happy to help with light child-related household tasks

Lishayra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lishayra and I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 7 years of experience working with children of all ages. I spent 5 years in a daycare setting and the past 2 years as a private nanny. I also hold an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, which has helped me create fun, age-appropriate activities that support children’s learning and development. I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids can learn and grow. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with household chores, homework, light cooking, and cleaning to make family life run smoothly. I’m comfortable with dogs but allergic to cats. Families describe me as patient, organized, and full of positive energy. I love becoming part of the family team and making each day both fun and structured for the children I care for.

Ahnika $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ahnika, and I’m a student at Essex County College. Before deciding to switch to babysitting, I worked part-time as an after-school teacher, managing a classroom of 20–25 students aged 5–7. Teaching kindergarten and first grade allowed me to gain firsthand experience with the unique needs of young children. My responsibilities included creating daily schedules, assisting with meals, and providing basic first aid when needed. I’m also very experienced with animals. I’ve grown up with and cared for German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu mixes, cats, and turtles. I also have experience administering medication to these animals. I would love to work with your family to provide a safe and comfortable environment whenever I’m needed.

"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)."
