Jean $35 per hour for 1 child

– Anglika Age: 23 years old Hi! My name is Anglika, and I absolutely love working with children. I’m a warm, caring, and responsible person who enjoys helping kids learn, play, and feel happy and safe. I’ve cared for children of different ages — from little ones to school-age kids — and I always do my best to create a fun and positive environment. I enjoy doing creative activities like arts and crafts, reading stories, and spending time outdoors. I’m also happy to help with homework, light meals, and keeping things tidy. Parents describe me as reliable, patient, and someone they can truly count on. Your children’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every child with the same love and attention

Ahnika $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ahnika, and I am a CPR-certified nursing student at Caldwell University with three years of childcare experience. Before becoming a babysitter, I worked part-time as a teacher, where I independently managed a classroom of 20-25 students. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create a safe, structured, and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for infants, including changing diapers, preparing bottles and meals, following feeding and bedtime schedules, and comforting children when needed. I understand how important it is to carefully follow each family's routines and instructions. I am attentive, dependable, trustworthy, and punctual. I am also comfortable caring for families with pets. My goal is to make sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

Aastha $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a prospective medical student with a masters in biomedical sciences and about 5 years of healthcare experience working with patients of all ages and demographics. I’ve done rotations at hospitals that focused on working with children with developmental disabilities and as a result have developed the skill set to handle children with care, encourage growth and provide a safe, healthy and productive space for them. I have my own little rescue kitty named Olive that made her place in our family but I love all kinds of animals and look forward to adopting a dog soon! Outside of my work, I am a very outdoorsy person, often swimming, biking, running and hiking on the weekends- my coolest hike has been to Machu Picchu, Peru. I’m able to work with children and pets of all energy levels and would love to indulge them in activities if required. In the home, I am more than willing to complete tasks related to caring for the children and pets.

I genuinely love working with children and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them to grow and explore. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education at Felician University, where I am learning best practices in child development, classroom management, and supporting children with special needs. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor play, while encouraging kindness, patience, and confidence. My goal is always to care for children as if they were my own, giving parents peace of mind knowing their child is happy, safe, and supported.

"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)."
