Booked by 25 families in Union, NJ

For the past ten years, I've been privileged to provide dependable, personalized childcare to dozens of families. I enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality and creating an engaging, safe environment until their parents come back. Parents appreciate my creative, friendly, and adaptable nature. I’m always tuned into behavioral cues from kids, and I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make bath time/bed time go smoothly, win over kids with separation anxiety, and defuse toddler tantrums. I always follow parents’ preferred method of communication regarding your child's day and will happily send pictures and updates. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am a medical student in my final year of medical school and have an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and Spanish. I am comfortable caring for up to four children of varying age groups, from infants to pre-teens and older. I am certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I speak both English and Spanish, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted caregiver for your family.

Hi, my name is Suman. I am a skilled babysitter who has a long term experience with kids. I have a cheerful personality so kids get along with me pretty well. Currently work in Finance at a global company; doing babysitting as a side gig. i charge $30 per hour because I understand how refreshing it is to come back to a clean house after a fun night out. Therefore, not only will i provide babysitting service, but will also leave your house/kitchen clean and tidy. I make sure to clean up around the house and organize. I wash any leftover dishes in the sink so you don’t have to! You will get your money’s worth for sure. A little more about me: I have worked at a tutoring center 'KUMON' in the past. I have childcare experience with more than 30 families and i am able to provide great references upon request. -I graduated from Rutgers Business School in August 2021 CPR/AED certified/non-smoker. -Patient and able to engage with kids using non-technological resources such as singing, reading books, playing with toys, coloring, painting, playing outside. (parents should be willing to pay for uber for one time babysitting requests) My hobbies include weight lifting. (i am also a certified personal trainer)

"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)."
