Kalanne $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kalanne I am 26 years old and I am originally from Destin FL. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and started to take on more Nanny responsibilities by the time I was 16. I am comfortable with all age groups. I have experience with new born babies and have watched kids up to 12 years old. I taught swim lessons for 4 years in high school and loved it. I am comfortable with other household duties, and taking kids to activities. I am also very comfortable with all kids of pets and have no problem taking care of those babies as well! I love to do arts and crafts, and reading stories. I’m very flexible with my schedule but prefer not to work too many weekends but I can definitely work those weekends if absolutely necessary. I love being a nanny it’s very rewarding. The kids always keep me young, and I love to learn from them as well.

Booked by 5 families in Short Hills, NJ

Former 2 year Aupair here :) I took care of a one year old and 4 year old at the same time. Tasks were: Morning routine, Make breakfast & lunch, driving to school, nap time, homework and playing. Also took care of 3 kids at the same time: (6,8,11 years old). Tasks were mainly driving and homework. Also taking care of 2 dogs (feeding, walking, playing). 2 baby boys ( year 1&2) Morning and Night Routine, driving, preparing food, often watched the baby’s over night. I love every age group can’t decide which one was the best. I grew up in a big family with 3 younger and one older sibling, so I’m used to taking care of more than just one kid. I also love animals and am happy to take care of them too

Cenae $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Cenae 😊 I’m a caring, dependable nanny with over four years of hands-on childcare experience, and working with children has always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for kids ranging from infants to school-aged children, and I truly enjoy being involved in their day-to-day routines, growth, and development. I have strong experience with infants and toddlers, including bottle feeding, diaper changes, supervised naps, tummy time, and engaging play. I’m very attentive to babies’ cues and focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Families I’ve worked with often describe me as patient, gentle, and naturally good with children. In addition to my professional nannying experience, I come from a large family with several younger siblings, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I take my role seriously and treat every child I care for with the same love and attention I would want for my own family. I value open communication with parents and enjoy working with families who see their nanny as a trusted part of their child’s care. I’m someone parents can feel confident relying on, and I always strive to create a positive, supportive environment for both children and parents. I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time position and would love to connect with families looking for attentive, loving care for their 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."

"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)."
