Hello! I’m Max, a dedicated father to a 6-year-old boy and a seasoned child care professional with over a decade of experience. My background spans various educational and recreational settings, including roles as a Pre-K specialist, PE instructor, and summer camp division leader. I’ve managed over 129 babysitting bookings on Urbansitter, receiving 47 five-star reviews from satisfied families. My experience extends from working with infants to older children, and I've been actively involved in schools, camps, and after-school programs. This includes babysitting occasionally, teaching PE, sports clinics, martial arts, and leading trips with responsibility for both staff and students. I take pride in connecting with kids through my sense of humor and caring nature. As a black belt in martial arts, I incorporate this into my work with school programs. I also love engaging children in STEM projects, arts and crafts, and sports. I’m familiar with popular children's shows and games like Pokémon, Frozen, Minecraft, and Bluey, and I make an effort to connect with kids by sharing their interests. I’m skilled at resolving conflicts, multitasking, and providing a supportive environment where children feel heard. My activities include reading books, hands-on STEM projects, arts and crafts, sports, board games, puzzles, and enrichment activities upon request. I’m CPR and RTE certified and look forward to learning more about you and your children. Thanks for considering me for your babysitting needs!

Maxbova was punctual, attentive, and followed our son’s routines perfectly. He kept him engaged with playful activities, communicated updates throughout the day, and cared for him with kindness and skill. We felt completely at ease knowing our son was in such capable hands.

Hi families! I’m a sitter with many years of childcare experience and a background in behavioral therapy. I earned my degree from the University of San Francisco and spent two years working in behavioral therapy, supporting children with diverse needs. Originally from New York and raised in Los Angeles, I spent the past six years in Oregon before recently moving to New Jersey. I’m excited to connect with local families and offer reliable, compassionate care. I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I’m looking for part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities while I get settled in the area.

"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)."
