Ariana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ariana, but many know me as Ari. I’m 24 years old and have over six years of experience working with children ranging from 8-week-old infants to Pre-K students aged 4½. I’ve been a lead teacher for the past five years and am currently working as a Pre-K teacher. As I begin my journey into law school, I’m looking for a stable position that allows me to continue nurturing young minds while maintaining the focus needed for my studies. I am passionate about early childhood development and believe in creating supportive, engaging environments where children can thrive. In addition to my teaching career, I’m also a dance instructor for children ages 2 to 12. I’m often described as confident, organized, punctual, and a strong team player. I take pride in my ability to help others and find creative solutions to challenges in the classroom. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Education and am certified in CPR and First Aid.

Hi I am Chris! I am 25 years old and I live in Hawthorne, New Jersey. I attended Rowan University where I graduated with a Graphic Design degree. I love working with children. I have grown up taking care of the younger ones around me. I come from a family where most of my siblings are teachers in schools so I am around working with kids a lot. I have also worked a lot with babies and the younger ages so I know what to do to take care of them as well. I just want to be able to ensure a day/night free of worry for you to enjoy while the kids still have fun too! I really hope we can make this work. Looking to hear back from you!

Jasmin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jasmin , and I’m an 18-year-old high school senior who will be attending college for medical science. I come from a big family with 8 siblings, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. Along with growing up helping raise my siblings, I have 2 years of paid childcare experience, working with kids of different ages. I especially love caring for infants and enjoy creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for them, but I’m comfortable and open to working with children of all ages. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported. I’m excited to bring my experience and positive energy to a family in need of a reliable and caring caregiver

"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)."
