Booked by 16 families in Summit, NJ

Hi families! 💕 My name is Sherley, and I’m 26 years old. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Master’s degree in Social Work. I currently work as a Care Manager, where I advocate for individuals with IDD, coordinating services, and help ensure their needs are being met. My passion for working with children began when I was just 14 years old at a daycare center. Since then, I’ve gained valuable experience working with children of different ages, personalities, and developmental needs, including my time as a paraprofessional in a school setting. I would describe myself as compassionate, patient, dependable, attentive, and naturally nurturing. One of the things I love most about working with children is being able to witness their growth, celebrate their little accomplishments, and help them discover the world around them. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. As a babysitter, I strive to create a fun, loving, and structured environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative activities, reading stories, or simply being a supportive and caring presence, I genuinely enjoy making a positive difference in a child’s day. My background in social work has also strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their little ones in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously and believe that building trust and maintaining open communication with families is essential. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time with loved ones, and finding new ways to learn and grow. I’m also comfortable around pets and have no known allergies! I look forward to connecting with your family and hopefully becoming someone your little ones look forward to spending time with! 💕

“Sherley was a sweetheart. She arrived on time and I can tell that my son gravitated to her well. I’ll certainly call her to babysit again as needed.”

For the past ten years, I've been privileged to provide dependable, personalized childcare to dozens of families. I enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality and creating an engaging, safe environment until their parents come back. Parents appreciate my creative, friendly, and adaptable nature. I’m always tuned into behavioral cues from kids, and I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make bath time/bed time go smoothly, win over kids with separation anxiety, and defuse toddler tantrums. I always follow parents’ preferred method of communication regarding your child's day and will happily send pictures and updates. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am a medical student in my final year of medical school and have an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and Spanish. I am comfortable caring for up to four children of varying age groups, from infants to pre-teens and older. I am certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I speak both English and Spanish, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted caregiver for your family.

“She was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. She was kind, playful, understanding, and communicative. We would love to work with her again.”

"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)."
