Booked by 7 families in Newark, NJ

Hi! I’m a college student with lots of availability and years of babysitting experience, working with kids from newborns to 10 years old. I love making things fun with games, crafts, and activities, and I’m always happy to help with homework, run errands, or pitch in around the house. I’m responsible, patient, and positive, and I really enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, supported, and have a great time while they're in my care!

“Emily was very quick in replying, and very flexible when I had a really early morning appointment that was postponed last minute and then stretched into the mid-afternoon hours. She was absolutely professional and saved me a lot of hassle and trouble. She has a very nice and warm personality and my son still asks about her regularly. She was able to calm him down quickly when he was truly upset over me leaving. She kept him busy and happy. I will hire her again on the spot, and can only recommend her highly.”

I love working with kids and being outdoors. I am vaccinated and boosted. I have a little experience in tutoring and am a recent college graduate. I would be able to help out with homework as necessary. I am almost fluent in Spanish. I feel very confident in working with children with special needs. I have experience being an aquatic therapist and teaching kids with various disabilities how to swim. Additionally, I was a social coach in high school and worked with students with special needs in helping them with homework, teaching them social skills, and job skills. I have been a lifeguard for 5 years and have my CPR certification. I have taught swim lessons to all age groups as young as 1 and as old as 18. I have been consistently nannying throughout college and beyond, I love nannying and helping support families in my area I also was part of a program in college to volunteer with homeless children at an after school program. This included serving them dinner, helping with homework and some fun activities. I have always loved dogs and have been around them my whole life. I feel very confident working with dogs of any size/breed. I volunteered at a dog shelter for many years and have had experience with timid and active dogs. I am also comfortable with cats and overnight pet sitting. As for cleaning, I have always helped around the house with chores and am willing to clean anything given the proper supplies. I worked in a women’s locker room at a fitness club where I had to learn many cleaning skills and keep on top of chores. I also worked at Starbucks and my favorite role was customer support; cleaning tables, restocking lids and cups, dishes etc.

“Jordan was prompt, professional, and communicative.”

Booked by 3 families in Newark, NJ

Hi all, I’m Kayla — I’m currently studying to become a grade school teacher, and working with kids is truly my passion. I lead my church’s daycare and have experience with a wide range of ages, personalities, and group sizes. I absolutely love how creative, curious, and different every child is! I’m very routine-oriented and understand how important structure and consistency are for kids to feel secure and thrive. Whether it’s homework help, playtime, crafts, meal prep, or bedtime routines, I aim to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel supported and excited. I’m patient, calm, dependable, and big on communication with parents. My goal is always to make your life easier while making sure your little ones are happy and cared for!

“I’ve known Kayla and her family for many years through our church, and she has always been such a blessing to our family. My children, Adrian and Elizabeth, absolutely loved their after-school time with her, Sunday classes, and just spending time together in general. She has a natural way with kids that makes them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Kayla has always been flexible and reliable — whether it was late nights, early pick-ups, or even helping care for the kids when they weren’t feeling well. We truly trust and love Kayla to this day. 10,000/10 — I would recommend her to any family without hesitation.”

Hi. My name is Maridania and I am currently in my senior year at UCLA. I provide childcare, senior care, and housekeeping services. I love being a nanny and have cared for newborns, babies, toddlers, and children (even twins!) since I was 15. My responsibilities have included dropping off and returning to school, doing crafts, tutoring, and even teaching dance classes. I also work as a home helper and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have cared for my own grandparents and am comfortable with caring for seniors. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other chores. (I am also a great coworker!)

Chloe 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families!! My name is Chloe I am 23 years old and I am looking to be your sitter. I have been babysitting for over 10 years with experience in ages ranging from 2-14! I’ve also spent four years as a lead camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising groups, planning activities, and creating a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged, helping with homework, or organizing creative activities, I aim to make every child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I also offer cat sitting, pet sitting, and help with general household chores. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and proactive—I always try to anticipate needs and make parents’ lives a little easier. I take pride in being someone families can truly trust and rely on.

“Chloe is very reliable, professional, and capable. She has frequently watched my three kids, and the kids always have a blast. She is very conscientious and keeps the kids occupied. She has also done chores for me around the house, and I have been quite pleased with her work. Highly recommend.”

"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)."
