Booked by 3 families in Weehawken, NJ

Hi there! I’m a Brooklyn born and raised in Ridgewood/Bushwick. I am a very family-oriented human who loves pets (especially my Marley who’s a mini golden-doodle)! Growing up it’s has always been a responsibility as the oldest of Three in my family, to care for my younger siblings when my parents needed the extra help around. Which evidently got me into Daycare Teacher certification for a Daycare in Bushwick and early childhood education. I worked for many years in to then getting my CPR certification as well. And now currently studying herbalism. I would say I have more than 5+ years of experience taking care, having FUN with children that I care for! Kindly, Dayana C.

Hi! My name is Riley and I am a 29 y/o female from New Orleans looking to help out some families in the area! I have worked with several families in New York doing school pick-up and after school activities, helping out with dinner and and bedtime. I have experience with 3-12 year olds creating a fun environment and finding interactve activities around the city. Most recently I worked as the Art Head for a children's sleep-away camp for 7-13 year olds in Vermont. Before New York I worked in Madrid Spain where I was a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teacher. I have also worked as a Personal Assistant in New Orleans where I was in charge of house management (grocery shopping, minor housekeeping, house organization, and pet care). I am happy to work with both cats and dogs and would love to help where I am needed!

Our four-year-old felt comfortable with Riley right off the bat, which is not always the case with new caregivers! Riley is kind and trustworthy and we’re excited to work with her again soon.

Hadrien $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hadrien and I’m from Lyon, France. I speak English, French and Spanish. I recently completed my Master’s degree in France and I am currently studying at MiM for 3 months. I have 3 months of experience working in a childcare center, where I took care of children aged 1 to 14 years old. I organized activities adapted to their age, such as creative workshops, card games and board games, depending on the weekly theme. I am patient, responsible and energetic, and I really enjoy spending time with children, especially doing outdoor activities like going to the park. I am also very comfortable with pets, as I grew up with animals. I have one dog and three cats, and I love taking them out for walks and spending time with them. I would be happy to take care of your children and/or pets :)

Samira 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Weehawken, NJ

Hello! I'm Samira 😊 I have been taking care of children since I was 17 years old, and over the years it has become something that feels very natural to me. I have worked as a nanny and Au Pair with children of different ages, helping with their daily routines, school collections, activities and simply being part of their daily life. I really enjoy working with kids because I naturally connect with them. I’m a very patient, empathetic, and attentive person, and I pay close attention to their emotions and needs. I like creating a calm, positive environment where they feel comfortable, but also keeping things fun and engaging through play and simple activities. I’m also reliable, organized, and someone families can truly count on. I value building a trusting relationship and bringing a warm, positive energy into the home. I am a native Spanish speaker (I'm originally from Argentina) and I speak English fluently, and I am happy to incorporate both languages naturally if that is something you would like.

It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for Samira, who served as an extraordinary au pair for our family over the past eighteen months. Samira joined our household when our daughter was just two and a half years old, and she cared for her until she turned four. From day one, Samira exceeded every expectation, demonstrating an incredible mix of responsibility, warmth, intelligence, and grace. Samira was far more than a traditional caregiver; she was a dedicated educator, a nurturing role model, and an irreplaceable part of our child’s early development. It is completely natural for parents to feel anxious or cautious when bringing someone new into their home to care for their children. We certainly understood that initial worry, but meeting Samira immediately put all of our concerns to rest. She made an incredible first impression. Her warm, friendly, curious, intelligent, and grounded personality was instantly clear, as was her natural ability to connect with young children. From the very beginning, her genuine commitment to childcare and family well-being shone through. Throughout her tenure with us, Samira displayed an exceptional ability to balance the complex responsibilities of childcare. She seamlessly navigated the delicate act of being a clear disciplinarian, an engaging teacher, and a joyful, trusted friend. She introduced creative educational concepts and fun learning activities daily, teaching our daughter so much while keeping her continually engaged, safe, and curious about the world around her. She handled every routine, challenge, and daily transition with immense patience and supreme politeness. By the end of her term with us, the bond between Samira and our daughter was nothing short of wonderful. Watching our daughter grow, learn, and thrive under Samira's care was a great joy for our family. Samira was not only a caregiver our daughter trusted implicitly, but also a true role model whose positive habits, kindness, and strong values left a lasting impact. I can say without a single hesitation or reservation that there is strictly no negative comment to make regarding Samira’s time with us. She is prompt, highly responsive, dependable, and thoroughly capable of handling any childcare need, whether full-time, part-time, early morning, or evening care. She is a guaranteed, top-tier choice for any family fortunate enough to work with her.

Celia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Celia I’m originally from California and moved to New York two years ago to pursue a career in modeling. Along the way, I discovered that working with families through babysitting and nannying is something I genuinely enjoy—it’s the perfect balance with my schedule and something that brings me a lot of joy. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, with a real love for kids and helping out where needed. Whether it’s keeping your home safe while you’re away or making sure your little ones are happy, cared for, and entertained, I always show up with a calm, positive attitude. I have experience caring for children ages 3 to 7, including school pickups, cooking, helping with homework, and spending quality time together. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to lend a hand with light household tasks. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can help make your days a little easier!

"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

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)."
