Booked by 1 family in Rutherford, NJ

Hello!! I live in Midtown East!! I’m a mom. I’m very active! I’ve raised an incredible young woman who is living in England. I have spent years taking care of babies, toddlers, kids, tweens, teens. Being a mom is a hard job but I love it! I love spending time with kids/babies and playing and teaching them. I can email you references from jobs that I had before and after this app if you’d like. Looking forward to meeting your family.

Gaby has been a great addition to our family. Within minutes of meeting our 6 month old, she was sitting on the floor, playing with him. She talks to him throughout the day and keeps him happy and entertained. She's incredibly aware of his needs for sleep, food, and fun. She's also respectful of my wishes for caring for him. Gaby is also a tremendous help around the house, helping with keeping our counters, tabletops, and floors clean! She's easy to communicate with and flexible with start times. She's always on time and very dependable. So happy we have her!

Booked by 1 family in Rutherford, NJ

Hello! I’ve been caring for kids since I was a teenager and have over 5 years of professional experience working with children ages 5–12, as well as toddlers. I currently work as a paraprofessional, supporting kids of all abilities, including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, keeping routines structured, and creating a safe, positive environment. I’m patient, calm, and adaptable, and I really focus on making kids feel understood, supported, and confident. I also have experience helping with homework, daily routines, playtime, and light household tasks. I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I genuinely love working with kids and building strong, trusting relationships with both them and their families :)

I needed help watching my little brothers (5yr and 3yr old) last minute and Gianna saved the day! If you’re looking for someone who is patient and attentive to your kids needs Gianna is the one. My brothers are still asking about her and when she’s coming back! Would and will hire again.

Hi there. My name is Galia. I am a patient, empathetic and energetic caregiver, offering child care, pet care and home sitting services. I am a copywriter currently looking for work, and happy to help families in the mean time. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15. But most of my experience is from the 3 years I spent as a part-time babysitter during my time at the University of Florida. I was also an after school care teacher for groups of 15+ children of all ages, for 1 year. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter on and off since 2019. These roles often involved helping children complete homework, bed time, play time, making lunch and school pick ups and drop offs. Additionally, I love cats, and I grew up with dogs, so I am more than capable of caring for them both. Plus, I speak Spanish.

Booked by 3 families in Rutherford, NJ

Hi families, I’m Yirma ! I’ve always had a natural connection with children, which started at a young age while helping care for my younger brother from infancy to now, at age 11. Through that experience, I’ve become confident in caring for children and comfortable with many aspects of childcare, including diaper changes, bathing, feeding, tidying up, laundry, school drop offs and pick ups, taking children to appointments and activities, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and understand the importance of being patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am someone who is patient, compassionate, and empathetic, and I strive to bring those qualities into every aspect of my care. I really enjoy spending time with children in fun and meaningful ways, whether that’s playing with them, drawing and painting, or spending time outside exploring and enjoying fresh air. I also enjoy helping with learning and simply being present with them in a positive, engaging way. I’d love the opportunity to speak further and see how I can support your family. I look forward to hearing from you !

Yirma is amazing! My super active son loved being with her. We will recommend her 100%.

"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)."
