Hi there! It’s great to meet you, I’m Valentina, a former NYC nanny and long-time NYer who is coming out of nanny retirement while I figure out next steps in my career. I recently moved to North Jersey and am looking to meet new families in the area! I am a very caring and proactive nanny in terms of safety and avoiding tantrums, I love kids, and am so happy to have a niece and nephew now! I have an excellent track record and recent /additional references available upon request. I speak Spanish and love to do crafts and games with kids, and have extensive experience with multiple kids at once, infants and kids of all ages. I am happy to take kids on any adventures, to museums or to the pool or ferry. I also have experience teaching kids and people of all ages how to swim, if that is of interest as well! I taught swim lessons at the Peddie School in NJ for many years, and was a former lifeguard. I am looking forward to connecting and meeting your family! -Valentina

I can tell she is super engaging. Valentina was also on time and communicative.

Hi! My name is Laura, and I’m a caring and responsible nanny based in New Jersey. I have experience working closely with children of different ages, and what I truly love about it is how naturally they connect to movement, creativity, and play. I bring a calm, attentive, and positive energy, creating a safe space where kids feel comfortable, seen, and engaged. I have a background in dance and body awareness, which allows me to connect with children in a more intuitive and playful way — whether it’s through movement, creative activities, or simply being present with them. I’m reliable, patient, and very mindful of each child’s unique personality and needs. I also understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease, so I always prioritize clear communication and trust.

Laura was fantastic with our two kids. She arrived promptly and immediately connected with the children, while in ‘listening mode’ as to schedule and the plan for the day, which she followed perfectly. She was super warm and engaging, and I felt very confident in the care she was giving. She was able to manage two children with ease and calm, and they both loved her. We would definitely use Laura again!

Hi! I’m Ari! I am a high energy, patient and loving caretaker! I have 10+ years of experience working with infants, children and teens of all ages! I also have experience working with people that have been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I most recently worked at a local school as a teachers aide during the day for students ages 4-12. And after school as a high school boys and girls club counselor. Additionally, this past summer, I was also employed at a local day care for babies from 3mos- 3year olds in Riverdale, NY. During the school year, I can help work on school work with school aged children just as much as we can go to the park and play! I am open minded and always communicate my ideas with parents/guardians. I also have experience taking care of seniors, going to doctor’s appointments and accompanying seniors to day care facilities in the past as well as medication weekly distribution, glucose daily analysis (pinching finger to measure blood glucose levels.) I am an animal lover with experience walking, sitting and caring for animals( cats, dogs, frogs, turtles, fish, iguanas). I know how to keep a tidy home, wash laundry, cook and manage household errands as dry cleaning, booking appointments, grabbing groceries, post office errands and prepping for religious observances. Book me for your next vacation, work day or night off from the day to day hustle and bustle of NY!

Booked by 1 family in Tenafly, NJ

Hello! I’m a dedicated, nurturing, and highly experienced childcare provider with over a decade of experience in children’s education and caregiving. My background combines classroom teaching, arts education, and at-home family care. I have a BFA and have spent over a decade working professionally on Broadway, which deeply informs my creativity, playfulness, discipline, and ability to meaningfully engage with children at their level. I have experience working with children across a wide range of ages, from 5 months to early teen years. I come from a large, close-knit family in Ohio and played an active role in helping raise my nieces and nephews, which shaped my natural caregiving instincts from an early age. My hobbies I would love to share with your children are tennis, chess, reading, writing and singing. Course Certifications • Substitute Teacher (Pre-K - 12th Grade) • School Safety & Child Review • Violence Prevention • DASA (Dignity for All Students Act) • Autism Workshop

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimber! We have no idea how we (and our now 18 month old son) would have managed without her. Dependable and honest, Kimber was always on time, energetic creative and extremely responsible. She never ran out of ideas on how to keep our son entertained. She was able to address his needs (and tantrums!) with grace, calm and kindness. Will absolutely hire 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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
