Hi parents! I am a current alumni from Montclair State University. I majored in Public Health with a concentration in Health Administration. I am looking for a part-time job as well as one-time jobs. I have a huge family; growing up I was always surrounded by little cousins and family friends. I love children which is a big part of why I am pursued a career in the public health field. I am also interested in occasional date night jobs. I can help out with school work, light-house cleaning and meal prepping.

Former 2 year Aupair here :) I took care of a one year old and 4 year old at the same time. Tasks were: Morning routine, Make breakfast & lunch, driving to school, nap time, homework and playing. Also took care of 3 kids at the same time: (6,8,11 years old). Tasks were mainly driving and homework. Also taking care of 2 dogs (feeding, walking, playing). 2 baby boys ( year 1&2) Morning and Night Routine, driving, preparing food, often watched the baby’s over night. I love every age group can’t decide which one was the best. I grew up in a big family with 3 younger and one older sibling, so I’m used to taking care of more than just one kid. I also love animals and am happy to take care of them too

I’d like to share my experience with Ogechi, who worked with our family as an au pair. Ogechi was a reliable and caring presence in our home, looking after our two toddlers. She was adept at balancing the various aspects of her role, from childcare to helping out with meals. Ogechi had a calm and positive approach to her work, which was particularly appreciated. She was good with our children, engaging them in activities and ensuring they had a structured day. Her ability to adapt to our family’s needs and schedule without much fuss made things smoother for us. One of the things we loved most about having Ogechi with us was her ability to just ‘get’ our family. She was incredibly adaptable, whether it was dealing with last-minute schedule changes or coming up with creative solutions whenever the kids threw us curveballs. Her positive attitude and calm presence were contagious, making our home a happier place. Ogechi became more than just an au pair; she was part of our family. Any family would be lucky to have Ogechi join them. She’s truly one of a kind, and we miss her dearly.

"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)."
