Erica $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate education professional with experience working with children and students with disabilities. My educational background includes studying Psychology at Felician University, where I developed a strong interest in child development, behavior, and supporting individuals with different learning needs. I am continuing to pursue my goal of completing my education and becoming a certified Special Education teacher, with a particular interest in working with neurodivergent children. Since August 2022, I have worked as a Teacher Assistant with the Plainfield Public School District in New Jersey. In this role, I provide academic, behavioral, and emotional support to students with diverse needs. I work closely with teachers and other school professionals to help students participate in classroom activities, follow routines, develop independence, and feel safe and supported in their learning environment. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with students who require additional patience, structure, communication, and individualized support. My passion for working with children with special needs is also deeply personal. I am a parent of children with special needs, and my own experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges, strengths, and unique needs that children and their families may experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, compassion, advocacy, and the importance of celebrating every child's individual progress. It is one of the reasons I chose to dedicate my career to working with children who need additional support. I consider myself a loving and caring caregiver because I genuinely care about the well-being of every child I work with. I understand that children need more than supervision—they need patience, encouragement, understanding, consistency, and someone who will advocate for them. I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, accepted, and valued. I treat the children in my care with the same compassion and patience that I would want someone to show my own children. My personal and professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to education and caregiving. I want to continue growing professionally and eventually become a Special Education teacher who can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.

Booked by 1 family in River Edge, NJ

Hi, my name is Najya, and I am a care taker. I have been doing senior care for six years and it has been a pleasure. I offer child care, senior care, and household care. I love working with children the most as they are what I specialize in. From infants to toddlers all of them, bring joy, and that’s what matters most to me. I can cook for young ones, clean after them, and bathe them. I have already raised three children of my own in their younger years bring so much happiness. Caring for young ones is part of the main reason I wanted to start studying to become a nurse! I also provide household help such as cleaning, running errands, laundering, and cooking. I feel that a good deep cleaning can make a house look and feel brand new. Coming home to a cleaned house can be so refreshing and relaxing to most people. I love helping people feel this way which is why I provide this skill. Running errands. Could be difficult task for working parents who need their products, groceries, and even household items on time. An even more difficult task is catching up with loads of laundry to do when you have a messy toddler or simply just a lot of clothes. One thing I love most is making warm, home-cooked meals for families to share. My skills come from cleaning after a family of five, grocery shopping for my family, and always making the best warm meals for my picky eater kids. As hard as it is to find the perfect meal that is tasty, healthy, and to their liking I always aim to satisfy! I have no allergies to dogs or cats so I am happy to sit for them. I am a previous owner of 2 cats who were high maintenance always needed to be brushed, showered, fed, and even taken out to parks. In my opinion they are just the cutest and deserving of a sitter. Moving to the topic of seniors, I have been working with them for a while now. They have always been a pleasure. I always find happiness in helping them finish a plate, or get up for a bath, or even get prepped for a gathering. What I intend from being a care taker is giving by best. Weather it be helping a baby be bathed or pet be combed or even a senior citizen be fed, I live for the warmth of caring for others. Which is why I want to move forward and help all with what ever skills are needed by my clients!!!

"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)."
