Booked by 3 families in Union City, NJ

Hi - My name is Glory and I'm currently a graduate student at Columbia. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs.

I highly recommend Glory as a babysitter. She has worked with my family in the past and consistently demonstrated a high level of responsibility, warmth, and professionalism. Glory is incredibly attentive and patient with children. She is able to create a calm, engaging environment while also maintaining structure and safety. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing activities, or simply being present and attentive, she brings a thoughtful and caring approach to everything she does. What stands out most is her reliability and communication. She is always punctual, responsive, and proactive in updating me, which gave me a strong sense of trust and peace of mind.

Zoe $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for over 10 years, starting at age eleven when I began helping care for my newborn sister. As I got older, I started watching her friends too, building relationships with several families and learning a lot about kids along the way. Over the years, I've also spent three summers working as a full-time nanny, including over 3 years of hands-on experience specifically caring for infants and toddlers. I graduated from Tufts last spring with an interest in pediatric health, and I'm currently taking time to do what I love: caring for children, while I explore that path further. I love using play and creativity to nurture a child's imagination, but I also know that no two kids are the same. Some children thrive with structure and consistent routines, while others do best with more flexibility and spontaneity. I take the time to understand each child individually and adapt my approach to what works best for them and what parents are looking for. Beyond childcare, I'm also an experienced pet sitter and comfortable cooking for kids and families alike, from simple toddler meals to full family dinners. I'm happy to help with light housework too, including organizing, laundry, dishes, and general tidying, so the household runs smoothly alongside childcare. I'm reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I care about building genuine trust with the families I work with. I'd love the opportunity to bring that same care and dependability to your family.

Assana 2 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child

My name is Assana, and I am a dedicated and reliable nanny with several years of hands on experience caring for children. I have worked with multiple families, providing attentive childcare and supporting children with their daily routines, meals, homework, and engaging activities. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, I have assisted families with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry to help keep the home organized and running smoothly. I have also traveled with a family as a travel nanny when needed, which has strengthened my flexibility, adaptability, and commitment to meeting each family’s unique needs. I am patient, trustworthy, and passionate about helping children grow and thrive.

I had the pleasure of having Assana as a nanny for my two children, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and dedicated to the families she works with. From the very beginning, she created a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for my children, and they absolutely adored her. Assana went above and beyond her role every day. She not only provided excellent childcare, but also helped with laundry, kept the house clean and organized, and made our home run smoothly. One of the things I appreciated most was her ability to incorporate learning into daily routines she even taught my children French, which was such a valuable and unique experience for them. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Any family would be lucky to have her, and I confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking nanny.

"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)."
