Booked by 2 families in Newark, NJ

After three years of experience with household cleaning, I’ve become confident, efficient, and consistent in how I maintain a clean and organized home. I no longer clean randomly or react only when things get messy—I follow routines that keep my space in good condition every day, while also scheduling deeper cleans so nothing is neglected. I understand which tasks need daily attention, like dishes, countertops, and general tidying, and which ones require weekly or monthly focus, such as bathrooms, floors, appliances, and storage areas. My experience shows most in my attention to detail. I’m mindful of high-touch areas like door handles, light switches, and remotes, and I don’t overlook corners, baseboards, or hard-to-see buildup. I know how to properly clean different surfaces—glass, wood, stainless steel, fabric—without damaging them, and I choose the right products and tools instead of relying on trial and error. Cleaning has become more deliberate and precise rather than rushed or surface-level. I’ve also developed strong time-management skills. I work efficiently, breaking tasks into manageable steps so cleaning doesn’t feel overwhelming. I can clean thoroughly without wasting energy, and I adapt my approach depending on the condition of the space or how much time I have. After three years, cleaning feels less like a chore and more like a practiced skill—one that allows me to maintain a consistently high standard of cleanliness, comfort, and order in my home.

Jordan $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked with kids since middle school, starting by babysitting my little sister and tutoring peers, which sparked my love for helping children learn and grow. By 8th grade, I was an assistant teacher at Hebrew school and babysat my Rabbi’s daughter. In high school, I became a YMCA lifeguard (CPR certified) and taught swim lessons at summer camp. Throughout college, I spent four years as a certified tutor at the Boys & Girls Club, helping kids from 1st through 12th grade with reading, writing, math, and study skills. I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied Psychology and Economics, and have an intermediate level of Spanish. I love working with kids—watching their imagination develop, fostering their curiosity, and helping them learn. I also grew up with seven dogs, so I’m very comfortable with pets and happy to help with them too.

Lola $25 per hour for 1 child

I was a nanny for the Merizalde family for many years, from 2007 to 2012. I cared for thirteen nieces and nephews who are now professionals, and I also cared for my two daughters, Priscilla and Yuriana. Priscilla has a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and Yuriana is a junior at Kean University. We have two pets: Sparky is the dog, and Mama is the cat. I earned my Associate of Occupational Science and Culinary Arts Certificate in 2001. I am patient, loving, responsible, reliable, and cheerful, with excellent childcare and interpersonal skills and extensive experience caring for children and seniors. I care for children as if they were my own. I like them to feel comfortable around me. I read books, play with them, take them to the park, do activities, and always follow their parents' instructions. From 2014 to 2019, I worked as an Executive Chef in nursing homes. Working with seniors, I learned to understand them better and recognize their needs. I would like to discuss your specific childcare needs. I am bilingual and I am willing to teach Spanish to children if you wish. I have clean driver record. I am able to cook meals, do simply cleaning, do laundry and errands.

Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Valentina. I’m a 22-year-old college student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I study Advertising and Marketing Communications. I currently live in NYC and am looking for babysitting opportunities with families in the area. I have experience working with children as a babysitter and former camp counselor, caring for kids ages 3–10. I also taught Spanish to elementary school students (grades 1–5) as part of my high school Spanish Language and Global Citizen program, where I created and led engaging, interactive lesson plans in a classroom setting. I really enjoy working with children and bringing a balance of structure, creativity, and fun into their day. I’m comfortable helping with homework, light cooking, errands, and general household support. Outside of childcare, I’m a very active and creative person. I’m a former soccer player and love outdoor activities, sports, and staying active with kids. I also enjoy creative activities like art, painting, film, theatre, and storytelling. I’m open to working with children of different personalities and energy levels, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.

"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)."
