Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two, I understand firsthand the trust, patience and love it takes to nurture and guide children through every stage of development. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of caring for children of various ages, helping them grow in a safe, engaging and loving environment. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. CPR and First Aid certified which adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing you, the parent to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while helping your children thrive, learn, and create joyful memories every day. I look forward to building meaningful connections with families and providing the loving, dependable care every child deserves.

Hello my name is Kalah. I am a 31 year old mother of 2. I have a Bachelors degree in biology and worked with children and adults with developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities for 11 years prior to becoming a mother myself. I come from a military/law enforcement family, so I’m great with punctuality, organization, structure, and cleanliness but I’m also a creative who loves cooking, dancing/music, travel, and fashion. I have no age preference, as I work well with all ages. I am first aid/CPR/AED certified, BLS certified and have been a nanny for 14 years now.

My experience with Kalah was excellent. She was caring, patient, reliable, and attentive throughout the entire visit. She made my 78-year-old mother feel comfortable and well cared for, and I truly appreciated her warm, professional approach. I would gladly recommend Kalah and would be happy to have her care for my mother again on numerous occasions. 10 out of 10.

Hi there! It’s great to meet you, I’m Valentina, a former NYC nanny and long-time NYer who is coming out of nanny retirement while I figure out next steps in my career. I recently moved to North Jersey and am looking to meet new families in the area! I am a very caring and proactive nanny in terms of safety and avoiding tantrums, I love kids, and am so happy to have a niece and nephew now! I have an excellent track record and recent /additional references available upon request. I speak Spanish and love to do crafts and games with kids, and have extensive experience with multiple kids at once, infants and kids of all ages. I am happy to take kids on any adventures, to museums or to the pool or ferry. I also have experience teaching kids and people of all ages how to swim, if that is of interest as well! I taught swim lessons at the Peddie School in NJ for many years, and was a former lifeguard. I am looking forward to connecting and meeting your family! -Valentina

I can tell she is super engaging. Valentina was also on time and communicative.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
