$26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Union City, NJ

Hi! My name is Florencia, and I’m a responsible, patient, and energetic caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children. I’m very attentive and communicative, and I love engaging children through creative activities like drawing, storytelling, and interactive play. I can also help with routines and homework, while maintaining a structured and positive daily routine. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), and I can naturally incorporate both languages when interacting with children. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping related to the children, including tidying up play areas, children’s laundry, and keeping their spaces organized. I’m reliable, warm, and committed to building a strong and trusting relationship with both children and parents. Looking forward to supporting your family! 💛

Booked by 5 families in Union City, NJ

Hi, my name is Lauren! I’m a recent NYU graduate with a degree in Film and Television Production and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I’ve had many years of childcare experience, as I grew up in a large family with many younger cousins! I’ve been a consistent nanny in the city for the past four years, taking care of children ages 0-5! I am looking for full time work though I am always open to part time. I love working with children and I really enjoy spending time with every child I have the privilege of caring for!

Eliana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've worked in childcare for about nine years. I love watching kids and seeing them learn and grow every day. Kids have always brightened my day and remind me why I love working with them as much as I do. I worked for the YMCA at their aftercare program and summer program. My responsibilities for aftercare were making sure kids completed their homework, had fun activities planned and were safe. For the summer program, I was a music teacher and taught kids from 3-8 years old. I can cook, drive or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

Booked by 4 families in Union City, NJ

Hello! I’m Eloïse. I’m an NYC raised college student studying architecture, originally born in France. I have 6 years of experience providing reliable, responsible, and engaging childcare and pet care across the city, and I can provide local references upon request. What I can bring to your family: • Languages: I’m a fluent French speaker and I love introducing kids to new languages through games and casual conversation! • Academic Support: Because of my architecture studies, I am incredibly organized and detail oriented. I love providing structured homework help and tutoring. • Creative Fun: I enjoy designing arts & crafts projects, organizing activities, and planning fun, educational outings around the city. • Daily Logistics: I’m super comfortable with school pick-ups, meal prep, and light housework to keep your home running smoothly. A little more about me: - I love reading, playing the piano, and making jewelry! - I live in Manhattan with my Australian Shepherd and tabby cat. - I’m pursuing my degree in architecture with a long term goal of specializing in historical preservation design and adaptive reuse. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting and petsitting jobs or a part-time, long-term position with a kind family. If you think we’d be a good fit, please reach out!

We had a large number of interested sitters for our job, but Eloise stood out immediately with her confident, personal introduction as well as her clear communication in sorting out the details with us. She came by for a meet & greet with the cats and it was a definite fit…they both like her! Eloise followed our instructions perfectly and provided those invaluable ‘proof of life’ photos that every anxious pet parent likes to see. She gave a brief summary of her interactions with the cats and a litter box report (we asked for that last one). We feel that our cats were in the best possible hands with Eloise and are thrilled to offer our wholehearted recommendation for her services!

"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)."
