Booked by 3 families in Weehawken, NJ

While I am in between jobs, I find that I have free time (way too much of it!) and would love the opportunity to spend that time babysitting. I have babysat, nannied, taught Sunday School, worked in my church nursery, volunteered with after-school programs, tutored students--you name it--and I'm eager to get back into childcare. I am an energetic, creative, and responsible babysitter with 15+ years of experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to early teens. I pride myself on my ability to create fun, engaging, and educational activities, while always prioritizing children’s safety and well-being. I am certified by the American Red Cross in Child First Aid/CPR/AED. I am happy to provide a more detailed description of my experience upon request.

Zahainia 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey my name is Zahainia. I am currently in college getting my degree in health science in order to work in the medical field. I am offering childcare, household services, and homework help. I love being a babysitter and I have babysat for different age groups from newborns to teenagers. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old, I babysat for neighbors, family friends, and work friends. I even worked professionally as a afterschool teacher and also a daycare teacher assistant for a couple of years I love doing arts and crafts, doing dance parties, and even science projects. On my free-time I love cooking and traveling to new places to discover new cultures/food, I am very open minded and willing to help out wherever I can.

Zahainia has been an essential part of our family for over eight years. During that time, she supported us in many capacities, from part-time care during school days, to full-time support in the summers, and providing overnight care while I traveled for work. Her consistency, reliability, and genuine care for my child made her someone I trusted completely. Zahainia is exceptionally punctual and organized. She brings structure and calm to daily routines while remaining flexible to meet the changing needs of child and family schedules. Whether managing school pickups, homework, activities, or bedtime routines, she approached every responsibility with professionalism and thoughtfulness. Beyond her strong organizational skills, she is incredibly kind and patient. She built meaningful relationships with my son, creating an environment where he felt safe, supported, and encouraged. She balances warmth with appropriate boundaries, which I deeply valued as a parent. Communication has always been one of her greatest strengths. She provides clear updates, proactively shares important information, and collaborates effectively to ensure alignment on expectations and routines, especially important during extended or overnight care. Over nearly a decade, Zahainia proved herself to be dependable, trustworthy, and deeply committed. Any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their support system, and I recommend her without hesitation.

Hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I am a 23 year old student studying at New York City college of Technology. I speak Spanish and have over six years of experience in child supervision! My journey began as a summer camp counselor at the age of 17, later becoming a afterschool counselor. As an elementary school counselor my responsibilities have been to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all the children, leading arts and crafts activities and providing homework assistance. Watching them learn, grow, and get excited about new things makes working with children enjoyable. I also have over 2 years of sitting experience! Growing up as the oldest sister of two and cousin to two younger kids, I’ve always been a nurturing role model. I am fully vaccinated and willing to provide proof. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you!!

Hello! My name is Carmen, and I would love to be considered as your nanny. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children, including those with special needs, and I always strive to create a safe, supportive, and loving environment where every child feels seen and understood. I'm fluent in Portuguese, speak intermediate Spanish, and am confident in English as well,so I'm comfortable working in multilingual households or supporting language development. I'm happy to support with daily routines and learning activities. I have extensive experience with infants, encompassing responsibilities such as feeding, bedtime routines, interactive play, outdoor strolls, and engaging in conversations to enhance their cognitive growth and here are other duties: driving to school and activities, managing doctors' appointments, organizing play dates, and ensuring they are well-fed with nutritious meals. I look forward to hearing from you!! Thank you, Carmen

My daughter had a great time with her.

"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)."
