Booked by 29 families in Westfield, NJ

Hi, My name is Aimee and I was born and raised in North Jersey. As a creative, I am a huge advocate for self expression and being yourself. And spending time with children reminds me the importance of that. I've been working with kids for over ten years and as the oldest of five, caring for children and being attentive to their needs is first nature to me. I have experience nannying & babysitting the kids of my neighbors, aunts, uncles etc. Also, I've worked as a Substitute nanny, date-night nanny and as a teacher's assistant in daycare centers/preschools. My favorite part of nannying is when I see a child grow more confident in themselves and their abilities. There's something about seeing a child do something that they thought they couldn't do, it warms my heart :) With your child, I plan to teach them, care for them, go on plenty of walks with them (parks are epic), visit the library, a museum, have a dance party or two and just support their development and individuality. That was a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you! All the best, Aimee A.

Kids loved Aimee, she made sure they were entertained and comfrotable for a long period

Booked by 5 families in Westfield, NJ

Hi, my name is Carine, and I’m an energetic and creative 28 year old! I have my associates degree in history and am just shy of having enough credits for an associates in early childhood education as well. I will be continuing to obtain my bachelors degree soon in hopes of pursuing a career in teaching.  I have been nannying professionally for the last 5 years. I recently moved back from New Jersey, where I was a live in nanny for 2 years. I worked for that family, which consisted of 3 boys aged 2, 4, and 6, for the last 4 years. I was responsible for: school and extracurricular pickups and drop-offs, meals, after-school help, occasional nighttime routines, and occasional overnights. I have worked for quite a few families in the last 5 years with children that ranged from newborn to 12 years old. Please feel free to request references! My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to face. I have my own car, I’m a nonsmoker, and I am comfortable with pets of any kind. I look forward to meeting you!

"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)."
