Monica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Monica, I’m an ex Au Pair/nanny and I’m offering child care, pet care and household services. I’ve been a nanny in the states since 2019 but I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 17 years old in my home country Bolivia.(yeah I do speak Spanish too 😊). I have experience with kids from different ages, and my usual responsibilities were taking them to school, preparing breakfast, lunch,snacks, helping them with homework, taking them to after school activities or going to the park. In addition to that I can help with light house chores, cleaning or running errands.

Booked by 2 families in Union City, NJ

Hi! My name is Stella, and I currently work with Jovie Caregiving, where I’ve gained hands-on experience providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate childcare for families. I am also currently in nursing school with a strong interest in pediatrics and neonatal care, so working with children is something I’m truly passionate about both personally and professionally. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids through creative activities, games, and interactive learning. I’m also happy to assist with homework, daily routines, meal preparation, and cooking. My goal is always to make children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands!

Stella is absolutely lovely. She arrived early for a last minute booking, asked very thoughtful questions ahead of the booking, and was very attentive and engaging with my son. You can really tell she is a professional nanny. We will definitely book her next time we are in Newark.

Raccia Skye 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you! I’m a 26-year-old with a wealth of experience in childcare and informal education. I have worked as a sitter/nanny for several families with school-aged kids (mostly 4-15) over the past 10 years, including children with disabilities. I am a former sleepaway camp counselor, lifeguard, and swim instructor. I have also tutored elementary students in English while abroad and worked as a teaching assistant in my local synagogue throughout high school, though I am not a particularly religious person. Some of my interests include arts and crafts, the outdoors, board games, reading and writing, cooking, and baking. I am also a cat owner and grew up with dogs so I am more than happy to help out with pets! My affect has been described as warm, wise, and practical, and I pride myself on my strong ability to place myself in another person’s shoes, as well as being a very responsible problem solver who is quick on their feet. I have also worked in food service, which can attest to my ability to work with a positive attitude even in fast-paced, high-stress situations, though caring for your child/ren will likely be much less stressful than working in a New York City restaurant! I would love the opportunity to talk and meet your family to see if we would be a good fit for one another’s needs and preferences.

Raccia is a detail-oriented, thoughtful, careful, and punctual sitter. They have solid communication skills and if anything in my directives aren't clear, they ask thoughtful clarifying questions. Raccia offers their ideas and input when needed or requested. They are great with follow-through and have been extremely consistent and reliable. Both of my kids really like and appreciate Raccia. I do as well. :)

Molly $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Molly, I’m a full-time Montessori infant teacher, and I have experience working with children from 6 months to 13 years old! I'm passionate about the Montessori philosophy and love creating child-led experiences that encourage independence, creativity, and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities are making art, reading, spending time outdoors, and exploring nature. I'm looking for a part-time evening position (around 6–11 PM) with a family I'd love to build a long-term relationship with, ideally growing into a full-time role. P.S. I'm allergic to cats, but I'm happy to care for any other pets!

Vincent $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello ! My name is Vi, I'm an artist offering childcare, seniorcare, petcare, and household services. I love spending time with kids, I even used to be one myself ! I taught children ages 3-8 various sports through my hometown's parks and recreation department for 2 years. I'm happy to tutor, make art, chaperone, and more. I offer household services as well, including cooking, cleaning, errands, and so on. I have a drivers license but don't have a car. When it comes to seniors, I've taken care of my grandmother bringing her to appointments and making sure she's fed and happy. I'm skilled at technology teaching/troubleshooting, and I love listening to people talk. I adore all pets and have a cat of my own, I just ask for clear instructions and I'm more than happy to accommodate (that goes for everything).

"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)."
