Mariana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring and experienced nanny currently looking after an 8-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy. I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where they can learn and grow. I’m patient, responsible, and love engaging kids in creative activities, outdoor play, etc. I also love animals and feel comfortable around pets. I speak both English and Spanish, which can be great for bilingual families or those interested in language exposure. I’m reliable, organized, and always aim to support each child’s unique personality and needs. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Madisyn $20 per hour for 1 child

I have over seven years of experience working with children in both childcare and educational settings. Working with kids has always been something I’m passionate about, and I love being able to support their growth while creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I began my childcare journey in 2019 as a Summer Camp Counselor with the YMCA while I was in high school, where I worked with children through 2024. In 2022, I started working in the YMCA’s aftercare program and remained there until January 2026. During my time with the YMCA, I gained valuable experience planning activities, supervising children, and helping them build confidence, friendships, and social skills. In 2024, I joined ESS as a paraprofessional, where I worked exclusively with children with learning and behavioral disabilities. This role strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide individualized support to help each child succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. I remained with ESS until July 2026. In February 2026, I began working at a private school, where I continue to expand my experience in education and childcare. Throughout my career, I have worked with children ranging in age from 3 to 10 years old. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate. I understand that every child has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to create a positive, engaging, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply being a trusted and caring presence, I am committed to providing the best possible care for every child and peace of mind for every parent.

Booked by 5 families in Mountainside, NJ

Former 2 year Aupair here :) I took care of a one year old and 4 year old at the same time. Tasks were: Morning routine, Make breakfast & lunch, driving to school, nap time, homework and playing. Also took care of 3 kids at the same time: (6,8,11 years old). Tasks were mainly driving and homework. Also taking care of 2 dogs (feeding, walking, playing). 2 baby boys ( year 1&2) Morning and Night Routine, driving, preparing food, often watched the baby’s over night. I love every age group can’t decide which one was the best. I grew up in a big family with 3 younger and one older sibling, so I’m used to taking care of more than just one kid. I also love animals and am happy to take care of them too

“We are so grateful for Og. She started working with our family last spring, and has been a steady and calm presence in our children’s lives. Og is extremely patient and kind, and has a genuine interest in learning about and supporting our children. She is a complete professional, always reliable, punctual and communicative. Most importantly, our children feel safe and cared for when they are with Og.”

Vanessa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I am a responsible, compassionate, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys supporting others. I am currently a multifaceted student at Rutgers University studying Supply Chain Management, which has strengthened my organization, time management, and problem-solving skills—qualities I bring into every caregiving role. This past summer, I worked with 20+ students as a Program Assistant for a dual enrollment program, where I supported students academically and personally, helped manage daily schedules, and ensured a safe, structured, and positive environment. That experience strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to respond calmly and attentively to different needs and personalities. I approach caregiving with empathy, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility. Whether assisting with daily routines, meals, companionship, or light household tasks, I take pride in being reliable and consistent. I also value open communication and make it a priority to keep families informed and involved. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care while building trust with both the individual I’m supporting and their loved ones. I would be honored to support your family and make a meaningful difference in your daily life.

"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)."
