Marbelis $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Marbelis. I am offering child care and household services. I have experience caring for children of different ages and hold both a childcare certification and a First Aid certificate. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where they can feel comfortable and happy. I am multilingual—I speak Spanish, French, and Dutch—which helps me connect with families from different backgrounds. Families describe me as respectful, patient, and trustworthy. I am also hardworking, disciplined, and very responsible with my duties. In addition to childcare, I can assist with light household tasks, help with homework, prepare simple meals, and organize creative activities that keep children engaged and learning. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being someone families can trust.

Cynthia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cynthia and I am a recent graduate from Cornell University. A little bit about myself: I’m the youngest and only daughter of an immigrant family of five. Since graduating, a major part of my life has been dedicated to my supporting my parents as they approach retirement. I handle the cooking and meal prep to make sure the whole family is eating healthy. Outside of home, I’m a youth leader at my church. I spend my time coaching young adults, and helping the children’s ministry, which involves leading weekly meetings and planning fun events that bring the youth together. I am offering childcare, senior care, and household cleaning/organization, however, I am skilled in many things including hair styling, swimming, sewing, singing, fitness, reading, and did I mention cooking? (I can also tutor and help with learning)

Booked by 1 family in Tenafly, NJ

Hi, my name is Najya, and I am a care taker. I have been doing senior care for six years and it has been a pleasure. I offer child care, senior care, and household care. I love working with children the most as they are what I specialize in. From infants to toddlers all of them, bring joy, and that’s what matters most to me. I can cook for young ones, clean after them, and bathe them. I have already raised three children of my own in their younger years bring so much happiness. Caring for young ones is part of the main reason I wanted to start studying to become a nurse! I also provide household help such as cleaning, running errands, laundering, and cooking. I feel that a good deep cleaning can make a house look and feel brand new. Coming home to a cleaned house can be so refreshing and relaxing to most people. I love helping people feel this way which is why I provide this skill. Running errands. Could be difficult task for working parents who need their products, groceries, and even household items on time. An even more difficult task is catching up with loads of laundry to do when you have a messy toddler or simply just a lot of clothes. One thing I love most is making warm, home-cooked meals for families to share. My skills come from cleaning after a family of five, grocery shopping for my family, and always making the best warm meals for my picky eater kids. As hard as it is to find the perfect meal that is tasty, healthy, and to their liking I always aim to satisfy! I have no allergies to dogs or cats so I am happy to sit for them. I am a previous owner of 2 cats who were high maintenance always needed to be brushed, showered, fed, and even taken out to parks. In my opinion they are just the cutest and deserving of a sitter. Moving to the topic of seniors, I have been working with them for a while now. They have always been a pleasure. I always find happiness in helping them finish a plate, or get up for a bath, or even get prepped for a gathering. What I intend from being a care taker is giving by best. Weather it be helping a baby be bathed or pet be combed or even a senior citizen be fed, I live for the warmth of caring for others. Which is why I want to move forward and help all with what ever skills are needed by my clients!!!

"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)."
