Hello! My name is Chinenye, I am a senior at Montclair State university. I have been working with kids since I was about 13 including babysitting and also being a helper to parents. I volunteered at a daycare for about 3 years. I also babysit my younger family members whenever necessary. I have mainly worked with kids aged 9 months -7 years but I love kids of all ages. I am CPR certified. During my free time I like to go on walks, sit in the park and try new activities (I would love to do the same with your little ones!🤍) . Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

“My son really liked her a lot! Very good vibes!!”

Hi families! My name is Nqobile, I'm 23 years old and originally from South Africa. I'm available throughout the week from 4:30pm and on weekends and would love to support your family during those hours. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid license and I also have a background in English tutoring. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in play-based learning, or supporting a nap schedule for little ones, I bring a calm, patient, and joyful energy to every task. I value transparency, patience, responsibility, open communication, and I'm always eager to learn and grow. Childcare isn't just a job to me--it's a passion. I'm also currently preparing to study nursing, with a heart for caregiving in all forms. If you're looking for someone dependable, warm, and deeply committed to helping your children thrive, I'd love to be part of your family's journey!

“She was excellent! She arrived on time, was very professional, friendly, warm, and personable. My family enjoyed her caring nature and the time spent in our home. We would highly recommend booking her to care for your child/children.”

NYC-based. A bit about my background: Most recently, I served as a Public Speaking Instructor for teens through TED Summer School at Barnard College, where I loved helping students build confidence and find their voice. I’ve also nannied children from 6 months to 12 years old, including a 2-year-old I cared for on weekends and during daycare drop-off and pickup. While in college, I was a dedicated part-time nanny for two Bay Area families, and over the years I’ve also worked as a YMCA therapeutic youth mentor, Girl Scout camp counselor, and Boys & Girls Club and Make-A-Wish volunteer. Child development matters deeply to me. I have 20 years of experience working with children. I studied Sociology (BA from UCSB) and understand how meaningful early experiences can be in shaping a child’s confidence and sense of self. When I babysit, I like to actively engage children through imaginative play, creativity, conversation, and activities—with limited technology when possible. I want children to feel heard, understood, cared for, and free to be themselves. I’m also happy to handle bedtime or naps, including winding down with a good book. My availability is currently flexible as I settle into my new NYC neighborhood, so I’m happy to connect about recurring or occasional childcare needs. I’d love to get to know your family!

“Stephanie is a delight! She took great care of our 2 yo. She's attentive and kind and fun. We worked with her as a regular – she helped out with daycare pickup and dropoff, date nights, and weekend care. She was always on time, professional, organized, and communicative. We were sad when she moved away, and our 2 yo still asks about her!”

"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)."
