I enjoy puzzles, board games, crafts and music. I also love to take walks! It's important to keep kid active! I currently work at Hoboken Catholic Academy a Spanish teacher. Working with kids ages 3-13. I also have over 15 years working with children , as I started working at a nursery at 17 years old. Being a mom myself (7&16) , i also have the personal experience and know the importance of child safety , and happiness. I am bilingual as I speak both fluent English and Spanish. Would love to teach your little one some Spanish if wanted!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Union City, NJ

I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.

Laur $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lauren and I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, for over 25 years. I started off as a weekend babysitter as a teenager and then switched over to be a nanny in my late 20s. I spent two years in Korea teaching English to 5 and 6 yr olds. Children's curiosity and wonder always make me want to be around them and watch them grow into little adults! I love doing art projects, playing sports and games. I can help prep meals and do the laundry and doing light housekeeping. I am CPR and first aid certified. My hours are very flexible. I can stay late for date nights or if you have to work late. I swim well and I can drive. A little more about me, I have my BA in film and my Masters in Public Administration. I also speak French conversationally. I have traveled both domestically and internationally with my families. I have excellent references and I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

"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

"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)."
