Hello! My name is Jennessa (first name Kathryn). I'm 27, and have been a nanny and babysitter for multiple other wonderful families over the course of the past 7 years with kids ranging from newborn (4 weeks) to 10 y/o. While I am new to the UrbanSitters platform, I have previously worked through a nannying agency and will gladly provide references from my past clients. I love pets and am very comfortable with being around/ caring for them, am CPR/First Aid certified, speak Spanish, and have years of experience as a private tutor. I have a BA in English from Boston College and spent the past two years working a very draining writing job in the legal field. The entire time I missed the kids and families I used to nanny for, so I am regrouping and reentering the childcare field! My goal is always to provide a safe, fun, low-stress environment for children where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. I also love to foster the development of strong language skills and creativity through reading and storytelling. I am often described as calm, patient, creative, and engaging. I'd love to hear more from you and learn about your childcare needs!

Booked by 14 families in Ridgefield, NJ

Hi! My name is Aaliyah. I'm 22 and a sophomore in college. I am very artistic and I have a number of hobbies. I enjoy painting, drawing, reading, building, writing, baking, singing and dancing. I have 9 years of experience with childcare. I've taken care of children from the age of 4 months-14 years old. I have a very flexible schedule. I am CPR and first aid certified. I can prepare meals, help with bathing, changing diapers, help with homework, plan and partake in activities with the kids, clean up after them and put them to bed. I ensure the children's safety while in my care. I am patient, responsible, respectful, reliable, fun and creative. I have good communication and problem solving skills. I can also help with swimming supervision, transportation, light housework and grocery shopping. I work well with multiple children since I grew up taking care of my 3 younger siblings. I also love animals! If I have applied for a position listed on the Job Board, be assured that I will be happy to work for the rate offered in the listing, even if it is below my usual rate. BOOKING POLICIES: If the booking starts later or ends earlier than expected, I still expect the payment for the original booking agreed. If a booking is cancelled within 24 hours of the start time I expect full payment. Cancellations made within 48 hours will require 50% payment as it can be difficult to secure alternative work on short notice.

Good service and the children liked her

Booked by 8 families in Ridgefield, NJ

Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.

Booked by 3 families in Ridgefield, NJ

Hello families! My name is Mariel - I am from Brazil and a current Nutrition and Dietetics major at NYU. Before going back to college, in 2020, I was an Au Pair in NYC for over two years where I had the opportunity to gain experience with different ages. Back home, I was a baker and owned a small bakery with my cousins; thus, one of my favorite things to do with kids is baking. I've baked some amazing Brazilian recipes with many American kids and their favorite recipe is always the Brazilian brigadeiros and Brazilian carrot cake. I also grew up in a big family and always liked taking care of my little cousins. I've babysat many kids with a variety of ages. I'm very responsible, active, creative, a great cook (always enjoy introducing some Brazilian dishes to the kids) and I'm an easy going person. I'm looking for ocasional babysitting or a part-time job that would be flexible with my college schedule. My first language is Portuguese, but I also speak Spanish, and English, of course. Can't wait to meet you!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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
