Clarissa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Clarissa, and I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny, household assistant, and caregiver. I’m a dependable, patient, and organized person who truly enjoys helping families create a safe, loving, and structured environment for their children. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including managing routines, school drop-offs/pickups, meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and engaging educational activities. As a mother of three myself, I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency in a home. Families describe me as nurturing, attentive, calm under pressure, and proactive. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, have a clean driving record, and always aim to support both the children and the household as a whole.

Booked by 6 families in Wayne, NJ

Hi I am Chris! I am 25 years old and I live in Hawthorne, New Jersey. I attended Rowan University where I graduated with a Graphic Design degree. I love working with children. I have grown up taking care of the younger ones around me. I come from a family where most of my siblings are teachers in schools so I am around working with kids a lot. I have also worked a lot with babies and the younger ages so I know what to do to take care of them as well. I just want to be able to ensure a day/night free of worry for you to enjoy while the kids still have fun too! I really hope we can make this work. Looking to hear back from you!

Ilana $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve babysat for my younger cousin for around 6 years. I would pick him up from school, sometimes take care of him overnight, and sometimes drive him home. Overnight care included making dinner, making sure his clothes were clean, and making breakfast. I also am CPR/First Aid certified

Jasmin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jasmin , and I’m an 18-year-old high school senior who will be attending college for medical science. I come from a big family with 8 siblings, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. Along with growing up helping raise my siblings, I have 2 years of paid childcare experience, working with kids of different ages. I especially love caring for infants and enjoy creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for them, but I’m comfortable and open to working with children of all ages. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported. I’m excited to bring my experience and positive energy to a family in need of a reliable and caring caregiver

"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)."
