$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 16 families in Mountainside, NJ

Hi families! 💕 My name is Sherley, and I’m 26 years old. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Master’s degree in Social Work. I currently work as a Care Manager, where I advocate for individuals with IDD, coordinating services, and help ensure their needs are being met. My passion for working with children began when I was just 14 years old at a daycare center. Since then, I’ve gained valuable experience working with children of different ages, personalities, and developmental needs, including my time as a paraprofessional in a school setting. I would describe myself as compassionate, patient, dependable, attentive, and naturally nurturing. One of the things I love most about working with children is being able to witness their growth, celebrate their little accomplishments, and help them discover the world around them. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. As a babysitter, I strive to create a fun, loving, and structured environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative activities, reading stories, or simply being a supportive and caring presence, I genuinely enjoy making a positive difference in a child’s day. My background in social work has also strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their little ones in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously and believe that building trust and maintaining open communication with families is essential. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time with loved ones, and finding new ways to learn and grow. I’m also comfortable around pets and have no known allergies! I look forward to connecting with your family and hopefully becoming someone your little ones look forward to spending time with! 💕

“Sherley was a sweetheart. She arrived on time and I can tell that my son gravitated to her well. I’ll certainly call her to babysit again as needed.”

Booked by 5 families in Mountainside, NJ

Hi, my name is Carine, and I’m an energetic and creative 28 year old! I have my associates degree in history and am just shy of having enough credits for an associates in early childhood education as well. I will be continuing to obtain my bachelors degree soon in hopes of pursuing a career in teaching.  I have been nannying professionally for the last 5 years. I recently moved back from New Jersey, where I was a live in nanny for 2 years. I worked for that family, which consisted of 3 boys aged 2, 4, and 6, for the last 4 years. I was responsible for: school and extracurricular pickups and drop-offs, meals, after-school help, occasional nighttime routines, and occasional overnights. I have worked for quite a few families in the last 5 years with children that ranged from newborn to 12 years old. Please feel free to request references! My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to face. I have my own car, I’m a nonsmoker, and I am comfortable with pets of any kind. I look forward to meeting you!

Isabella 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Isabella! I'm a nanny, early childhood educator, and college student based in Cranford, NJ, with several years of hands-on childcare experience with just about every age, from newborns and infant twins to busy toddlers, curious preschoolers, and elementary schoolers! I previously worked at Primrose School of Mountainside, where I started as an aide and floater before moving into the infant classroom. I've also worked as a private nanny, babysitter, tutor, and family assistant, handling everything from bottles, diapers, nap schedules, and tummy time to tantrums, potty training, school pickups, and homework. Patience, flexibility, and a good sense of humor go a long way! I'm currently studying Early Childhood Education and love bringing Montessori-inspired learning into the home: encouraging independence, curiosity, and creativity through sensory bins, painting, baking, practicing letters, and exploring outside. I'm a huge arts and crafts person, so there's a good chance we'll have a new masterpiece to show you by the end of the day! I also offer personalized weekly learning curriculums as an optional add-on: fun activities planned around your child's age, interests, and developmental needs. For infants: sensory exploration, tummy time, motor skills, and early milestones. For toddlers and preschoolers: practical life skills, fine motor work, early literacy, and kindergarten readiness. For school-age kids: homework help and tutoring through 5th grade. I also have experience supporting children with special needs. Because family life gets hectic, I offer family assistant help too: errands, grocery runs, household organization, children's laundry, scheduling, and activity prep. I'm CPR and First Aid certified (including infant CPR), have my own reliable car, and I'm great with pets (I have a dog of my own!). I'm comfortable following your routines and parenting preferences, and I'm available for weekly nannying, part-time care, date nights, weekends, last-minute care, and holiday help. Above all, I want to be someone your kids are genuinely excited to see and someone you feel completely comfortable leaving them with. I don't take that trust lightly, and I love becoming a familiar, dependable part of a family's routine! ♡

“I’ve known Isabella Hidalgo for years, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her! Over the years, she has helped me with everything from watching my children to running errands and everything in between. She has always been dependable, trustworthy, caring, and willing to lend a helping hand. It’s not easy finding someone you can truly count on, but Isabella has always been that person for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, hardworking, and genuinely kind!”

"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."

"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)."
