Charlotte Weehawken Township
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Charlotte, and I'm an 18-year-old babysitter based in Weehawken, NJ. I hold CPR and Babysitting Certifications from the American Red Cross and have six years of hands-on experience with children of all ages — from newborns and toddlers to preteens up to age 11. I bring more than just childcare to the table. I'm happy to help with light cooking, cleaning, and keeping the home tidy while you're away. With nine years of martial arts training, I'm calm under pressure and fully capable of keeping every child in my care safe and protected. I love keeping kids active and engaged — whether that means a trip to the park, a fun activity, or just making the most of an afternoon at home. Whatever the day calls for, I show up ready. I'm a licensed driver, available all summer on weekdays and weekends, and open to relocating wherever I'm needed. I'd love to be a dependable, positive sitter for your family! (I attend Highschool from 8am-3pm till June 18th)

I truly enjoy providing care for people and making others feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I have over 15 years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and over 5 years of experience as a nanny. Caring for others has always come naturally to me, whether I am helping children with their daily routines, creating fun activities, preparing meals, assisting with homework, or simply being a calm and patient presence. I am nurturing, dependable, organized, and attentive to each family’s needs. My healthcare background has also taught me how to stay calm, responsible, and focused on safety. I speak English, Haitian Creole, and understand basic French.

Sahira Bronx
$30 per hour for 1 child

I am 32 years old and I have been working hands on with children since I was about 15 years old. I became a certified assistant provider at the age of 24. I currently work at Bethlehem Group Family Daycare as the Assistant Manager. It is a family business that's been in operation since 2004. Working with children has been very rewarding. I have acquired the wisdom to provide exceptional care to children through needed certified trainings and professional experience. I believe to have the needed personality traits to be of good steward. These traits are patience, empathy, understanding, creativity, compassion, enthusiasm, respect, playfulness, and many others. I am a mother to an amazing and intelligent 6 year old boy who has helped mold me into the woman I am today. I am a lover of animals and have never been without a pet. I also have experience with caring for seniors, as I was the unofficial home-aid attendant of both my grandparents while they were alive. I can also out clean anyone and actually enjoy cleaning.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
