Taylor 1 review
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently a college student majoring in psychology on the pre-med track. I've always had a deep love for working with children and animals, and my ultimate goal is to work in the medical field helping children. Currently, I have experience caring for an adorable 9-month-old and I'm excited to grow my range of experience with kids of different ages. For the past couple of years, I have been working in an Assisted Living facility, supporting patients with dementia. This experience has truly grown my sense of empathy and patience. I've been around kids my whole life-- growing up, I helped care for my younger siblings, so undertaking a caregiver role is very natural to me. I like to think of myself as someone who is very patient, caring, and trustworthy, and I genuinely enjoy being a part of a child's day-to-day life and development.

Taylor was an exceptional babysitter to my daughter. She went above and beyond to make sure my daughter had a productive day. She read to her, sang songs, played developmental games and went on walks with her. She made healthy puree recipes for her and always made sure my daughter’s eczema medications were applied on time. She even setup a daily log book for my daughter where she tracked her activities from diaper changes, feedings and playtime. I never had to worry while I was at work because I knew she was very well taken care of. I loved that I didn’t have to tell her exactly what to do, she would come in and manage accordingly. She was extremely professional and always on time. I’m looking forward to working with her again!

Glory 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Rutherford, NJ

Hi - My name is Glory and I'm currently a graduate student at Columbia. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs.

I highly recommend Glory as a babysitter. She has worked with my family in the past and consistently demonstrated a high level of responsibility, warmth, and professionalism. Glory is incredibly attentive and patient with children. She is able to create a calm, engaging environment while also maintaining structure and safety. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing activities, or simply being present and attentive, she brings a thoughtful and caring approach to everything she does. What stands out most is her reliability and communication. She is always punctual, responsive, and proactive in updating me, which gave me a strong sense of trust and peace of mind.

"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."

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)."
