Blake $28 per hour for 1 child

Hey there my name is Blake! I’m a 24 year old who’s been living in New York Bronx with a roommate for about a year now. I was raised in the Ivory Coast which makes me fluently bilingual in French. I’ve had a lot more experiences with caregiving than childcare before, and would like to further expand my experience with kids because they are a lot more fun and jovial and very heartfelt little creatures. They also have a lot more energy, which I do too. I was a nanny for about over year before moving to New York, and It was amazing to me, to see how much you can learn from those you’re meant to be teaching. It was a little boy of the age of 6 who had a lot of curiosity. This was actually particular to him, as he was a very smart boy. My time with him was mostly play, feeding, staying home, shower, going to the park, and whatever activities we could find to do. Music, dancing and lots of jumps were very common activities to him. It seemed to be very stimulating, or sometimes very heartfelt which was either funny to watch or cool to live in general. It’s been my pleasure to share these little bit of things with you and I can’t wait to meet you and your babies for more to happen. Thank you!

Vanessa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I am a responsible, compassionate, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys supporting others. I am currently a multifaceted student at Rutgers University studying Supply Chain Management, which has strengthened my organization, time management, and problem-solving skills—qualities I bring into every caregiving role. This past summer, I worked with 20+ students as a Program Assistant for a dual enrollment program, where I supported students academically and personally, helped manage daily schedules, and ensured a safe, structured, and positive environment. That experience strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to respond calmly and attentively to different needs and personalities. I approach caregiving with empathy, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility. Whether assisting with daily routines, meals, companionship, or light household tasks, I take pride in being reliable and consistent. I also value open communication and make it a priority to keep families informed and involved. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care while building trust with both the individual I’m supporting and their loved ones. I would be honored to support your family and make a meaningful difference in your daily life.

Hello Parents! My name is Chloe Kaleah I am a 20year old undergrad student at Pace University.

Overall, I am dedicated to providing a nurturing, engaging, and fun-filled experience where kids can learn, grow, and thrive.

Booked by 3 families in Rutherford, NJ

Hi! My name is Isis, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones. My goal is to become more than just an occasional babysitter—I strive to be someone your family can rely on for planned care, date nights, last-minute emergencies, and everything in between. I have experience working at Tiny Toes Learning Center in Mount Pocono and Little Buds in Fort Greene, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children in structured, nurturing environments. My responsibilities have included supervising groups of children, leading engaging activities, reading with them, encouraging outdoor play, and creating a fun, safe atmosphere until pickup. I’m experienced in maintaining daily routines, including preparing meals and snacks, supporting nap and bedtime routines, assisting with potty training, helping with homework, and keeping children engaged through age-appropriate activities rather than relying on screens. I love planning creative activities, reading stories, exploring parks, and, with parent approval, taking children on enriching outings like museums and other educational adventures. You can count on me to be dependable, patient, and communicative. I understand the trust it takes to leave your child with someone, so I prioritize safety, consistency, and open communication, keeping you updated throughout my time with your little ones

"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)."
