Shweta $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi— my name is Shweta! With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers—with a focus on ages 1 to 9 and 14 to 17. I've supported children with autism and ADHD, offering patient and attentive care tailored to their unique needs. I’m also comfortable with pets and capable of managing up to five children at once. Beyond childcare, I offer various household services, ensuring a well-rounded support system for your family. My background as a chemist and SAT/GRE tutor reflects my dedication to education and responsibility, making me a dependable and nurturing caregiver.

Stella $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Stella, an Upper West Side-based student studying International Relations & Economics at the University of St Andrews. I'm responsible, organized, and genuinely love spending time with kids and animals, whether that's playing, helping with homework, or just keeping things fun and running smoothly. I've been a dancer since 2016, training 3–4 hours a day, 6 days a week across 7 disciplines at the Academy at Steps on Broadway, where I was accepted into both the pre-professional program and the Youth Company. Through a mentorship program connected to my dance training, I worked directly with younger dancers, guiding them, building their confidence, and making the learning process fun. That experience of nurturing kids in a structured but encouraging environment is something I hope to bring to every family I work with. My experience as a Production Intern at Johannes Leonardo, where I managed logistics, coordinated vendors, and kept complex projects on track, shows that I'm dependable and calm under pressure. I also led my high school's Model UN club and served as a Student Senate Representative, which sharpened my communication skills and ability to connect with people of all ages. I'm also happy to help with pet care, whether that's walks, feeding, or simply keeping your furry family members company. On top of that, I'm available for household tasks like cleaning, grocery runs, and errands. I take pride in being someone families can rely on for just about anything that needs to get done. I'm punctual, caring, and genuinely committed to making life easier for the families I work with. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to meet your family!

Booked by 145 families in Moonachie, NJ

Hello Families, My name is Angela, and I am from Colombia. I am a graduate student in Public Health. I have been caring for children for the past 18 years. I am CPR/First Aid certified and possess a California driver's license. I am current on all my vaccines. I am also a certified Postpartum Doula with over 13 years of experience. My philosophy is to support the baby, the mom, and the family in creating a balanced and loving environment. I am highly dedicated to my work and take it seriously. I enjoy activities such as engaging in art projects, visiting parks, museums, and zoos, going for walks, and baking with children. I appreciate parents who provide clear instructions for their children's routines, set boundaries, and communicate effectively. One preference I have is that children usually stay away from screens while with me, except on weekends, although I respect if parents prefer otherwise. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!

Angela is absolutely phenomenal, super communicative, and our son adores her. 10/10 would recommend!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 13 families in Moonachie, NJ

Hi, I’m Lyric! I‘ve worked at a childcare facility and have nannied for years! I’ve gotten a minor in adolescence psychology and child development, so I really enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating an environment where they feel happy and understood! At the childcare center, I worked with children in an active, social environment where I had to be patient, playful, and responsible at the same time! My neuroscience background also helps me understand attention, emotional regulation, learning styles, and how much children benefit from consistency, patience, and confidence-building. Families can expect me to be dependable, kind, communicative, and fully present. I really care about making children feel safe and excited to be themselves! I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, routines, snacks/meals, homework support, and pet care when needed.

Lyric was amazing. Responsible, warm, communicative. We hope she’ll help us out again soon!

"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)."
