Booked by 1 family in Tenafly, NJ

I currently work at a charter school and am a senior at Hunter College majoring in Mathematics with a minor in History. As a parent of two children in preschool and kindergarten, I understand how important patience, safety, and routine are for young kids. I am looking for a temporary nanny position that could possibly become long-term if schedules align. I have experience working with children in both school and home settings, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel supported. I am reliable, caring, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for children.

Raquel $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been working with kids for seven years and am currently Nanny, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience. I love helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I'm patient, creative, and responsible, with experience caring for kids of all ages. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while keeping things fun. I also make sure to keep parents updated in whatever way works best for them. I have a car, I'm good with pets, and I speak both English and Portuguese. I'd love to get to know your family!

"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."

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)."
