Sydney $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Rutherford, NJ

Hello! My name is Sydney and I am an actor originally from Atlantic City, New Jersey! I have been caring for children ever since I was 14 and my parents would let me watch the children in our neighborhood for some extra change. Since then, I have cared for children of all age groups, with my most recent full time nanny position including caring for 3 boys ages 9-14. This included cooking for them daily, doing their laundry, and making sure they stayed on top of school work. In addition to caring for children, I have a strong background in teaching for them as well. I am currently finishing out the school year as a full time Substitute Teacher for the NYC Department of Education, and I have many years of counselor in training experience from my various summer camps growing up. Always available for light household chores, caring for animals, and running errands as well. Children make my heart glow, and I would love to meet yours! Feel free to reach out,

Hi I’m Anelfis, lovingly known as Ruby ( it’s a bit easier) I have 15 years of experience caring for children aged 0-11, it has fueled my passion for fostering their growth and development. I am patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I want to positively impact young lives and support families by providing reliable care.

I also have experience working in a Nursery School, some college experience, I am both fluent in English and Spanish. I am also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision, also comfortable with pets. I can babysit on date nights also overnights ( rates can be discussed) if needed and discussed with time. I communicate with parents at pickup, through text, or via their preferred method. Knowing I can make a child's day brighter motivates me to provide the best possible care.

"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)."
