Weronika Lincoln Park
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Niki and I’m from Poland. I’m a babysitter with over 10 years of experience. Currently I live in New Jersey which I love. I’ve been working with kids of all ages but I have the most experience with infants and toddlers. I completed 3,5 years as an Au Pair in America. I absolutely love working with kids and it feels natural to me. I speak Polish, English, Serbian, Croatian and learning Spanish and Italian! I love languages and geography and would love to teach your kids something about the world. I like to call myself a traveler, because I’ve been traveling my whole life and it’s my biggest passion. As a live in nanny I’ve been taking care of 5 kids (with three different families) of ages: 3 months, 7 months, 1 yo, 2yo and 3yo - all in America. In my home country I cared for multiple kids aged 1-10 years old. I am a very pro-active and responsible person who you can trust with your kids. I know how to care for them, bathe, change diapers, put down for naps, prepare food, play and all the things you need.

"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."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
