Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nicole and I am currently a stay at home mom looking for a side job and also love working with kids so I thought this would be a good idea! I have a one year old son who loves going to the park and being around other kids so if you also have a little social butterfly this could be a good fit. I have worked as a dance coach for kids age 3-13 and babysat for friends so I am used to a pretty big age range.

Hello I’m currently a university student double majoring in adolescent/childhood education and psychology at Pace University I’ve been officially babysitting since I was 16. Unofficially I’ve been babysitting my whole life being the eldest of 4. I love kids and am flexible to different work situations. I’m great with animals and enjoy spending time outside, if the weather allows for it I love taking the kids to the park. I speak fluent French, Arabic, and English and previously worked as a school tutor and camp counselor. :)

Booked by 3 families in Newark, NJ

I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.

"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)."
