$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in River Edge, NJ

I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over five years of experience caring for children from newborns through age 17. I am currently pursuing a degree in Biology with long-term goals of becoming a pediatric surgeon, and my passion for supporting children’s health, growth, and development is reflected in the care I provide every day. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported as they learn and grow. I love incorporating activities such as reading, outdoor play, nature exploration, and creative experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence, and active learning. My experience working with a wide range of age groups has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personality. I am known for being reliable, attentive, and nurturing, and I take great pride in helping children thrive while giving families peace of mind. 🌱

Petra helped take care of my baby boy when he’s 5-6w old and we needed our own time. She’s quiet and very sweet, always on time, and very good with childcare. Our care with her runs from 3hr coverage to the a full day (~9hrs), she handles everything just fine.

Meredith $20 per hour for 1 child

I've worked as a Middle School tutor since I was in high school up until college. I worked briefly at an elementary school for 3 months. I'm the oldest sister of my family, so in general, I'm alright with kids. I served as a Cat volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in New York for a summer. Overall, I prefer to work with cats, but I'm ok with other animals (with care instructions, I can pick things up quickly).

"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)."
