Talia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am 24 years old and a recent graduate of NYU Steinhardt’s Master in Musical Theatre. Growing up I babysat for family friends often, ages ranging from under 1 to 11 years old. My two favorite people in the world are my niece and nephew who are the most inquisitive,energetic, and kind little humans. I love being able to nurture curiousity while caring for kids. I have a musical background and cooking is my hobby so I know your kids would have a blast with me as their sitter! My hobby is also cooking! I studied at a traditional Italian restaurant in Siena for two months, and my Italian mother taught me everything she knows! I can cook and meal plan for a big family as well as a small household. My current job is as a House Manager and Costumer at Blue Man Group. I love when kids come to show because they are so excited and ask so many questions and are absolutely the most fun audience members. We often have school groups ranging from preschool to high school and engaging with the students and their questions is one of the most fun aspects of my job. I do not have a car but I do have a valid driver’s license and can take the train.

Booked by 3 families in Rutherford, NJ

I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Being part of a child’s happiness, growth, and development is incredibly rewarding, and I truly love what I do. I enjoy helping babies, toddlers, and children reach new milestones, learn new skills, and build confidence. Watching a child accomplish something new brings me so much joy because I know I’m helping them grow into amazing individuals. I am caring, patient, dependable, and attentive, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child in my care. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. In addition to providing quality childcare, I have assisted with household duties, meal preparation, light housekeeping, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and transportation to after-school activities and appointments. I enjoy supporting busy families and giving parents peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring and capable hands.

She’s great with kids, she has a lot of patient. She’s is passionate with job. I strongly recommend her.

"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)."
