Hi Urbansitter Parents; My name is Lareesha, and I am an experienced, dependable, and nurturing childcare professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. Since 2001, I have worked extensively with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and adolescents, developing a deep understanding of each developmental stage and the unique needs that come with them. I bring a compassionate and patient approach to my work, with particular sensitivity and experience supporting children with developmental delays and special needs. My background includes employment in daycare settings, childcare agencies, special needs programs, and as a school bus monitor, giving me a well-rounded and professional foundation in child supervision, safety, and engagement. I believe in creating a warm, structured, and stimulating environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. I enjoy planning enriching activities such as educational outings, playdates, reading, creative play, drawing, and imaginative learning, all tailored to each child’s interests and abilities. I am college educated, CPR/AED certified, and known for my reliability, strong communication skills, and genuine love for children. Childcare is not just my profession—it is my passion. I bring a big heart, unwavering dedication, and a calm, trustworthy presence into every family I work with. I would be honored to support your family and provide exceptional care for your children.

Booked by 1 family in South Hackensack, NJ

Hi! I’m Ja’Lea, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that caring for children is something I genuinely love. I’ve been a preschool teacher assistant for the past three years, and every day reminds me why I chose this field. Watching children learn new skills, celebrate little accomplishments, and grow into their own personalities is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I truly can’t imagine doing anything else. In addition to working in a preschool, I also work as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. This role has given me valuable experience supporting children with a wide range of needs while strengthening my patience, communication, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and learning style. Working with these incredible children has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, encouraged, and free to have fun. I’m very hands-on and love getting involved in whatever excites them—whether that’s dancing to Danny Go!, coloring, reading stories, building with blocks, playing imaginative games, or exploring fun, age-appropriate activities. I don’t believe in simply “watching” children; I enjoy interacting with them, helping them learn, and making sure they have a great time while they’re in my care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for children with a variety of needs and daily routines. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bathing or shower assistance, helping with brushing teeth, meal and snack times, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, clear communication, and creating a structured environment where children feel comfortable and confident. Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and someone who treats every child with the same kindness, respect, and care that I would want for my own family. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind, knowing their child is not only safe, but genuinely cared for, having fun, and in the hands of someone who truly loves what they do. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, trusting relationship with both you and your little one!

Ja’Lea was great to work with. Punctual. Easy to communicate with. My son had a great experience.

"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)."
