Hello! My name is Jonna, though I also go by “Yana.” I am 25 years old and currently an undergraduate Criminal Justice student at Monmouth University. My long-term goal is to pursue a career in federal or private-sector law enforcement, which has strongly shaped my sense of responsibility, ethics, and care for others. I have extensive experience working with both children and the elderly. From 2019 to 2022, I relocated from Virginia to New Jersey to be a full-time caregiver for my grandfather, who was living with Parkinson’s disease and later entered hospice care. This experience deeply strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to handle responsibility in emotionally and physically demanding situations. I am CPR certified, trained in First Aid, and also have Wilderness First Aid experience. Safety is always a top priority for me. My interest in babysitting comes from the positive impact my own babysitters had on me growing up. They treated me with fairness, structure, and compassion. having these consistent and caring role models made a lasting difference in who I am today. I strive to provide that same supportive presence for the children I care for. I strongly believe in limiting excessive screen time and encouraging children to develop healthy coping skills, creativity, and self-expression. I enjoy engaging kids in hands-on activities, outdoor play, and experiences that foster curiosity and confidence. I am very comfortable helping with homework, teaching basic life skills (such as cleaning up after themselves, manners, and empathy), and adapting to diverse learning styles and developmental needs, including disabilities. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with side tasks such as light cleaning, grocery runs, dog walking, and household organization. Much of my childcare experience began in Virginia, where I worked with Girl Scouts and was a sailing instructor. These roles taught me leadership, teamwork, and how to guide children in both structured and adventurous environments. I genuinely enjoy being a positive role model and a reliable support system for families. Helping care for children and contributing to a household is something I view as a privilege, and I sincerely look forward to offering a helping hand to you and your child or children.

Margarita was great to my son Evan, she really made an effort to get him outside and active. She’s reliable, patient, and communicates day and night in case of last-minute requirements. Margarita also kept our home nice and tidy whenever my wife and I returned. Evan gets very excited whenever she comes to sit. We got very lucky when we found her, and would highly recommend!

Hi! My name is Chloe, I am a 25 year old nursing student looking for a job in child care. I grew up in a large family as the oldest daughter, naturally giving my siblings that second-mom bonus. I absolutely love working with children, helping them in any way I can! I have experience working with infants to teens and those with disabilities. I also have 6 years of experience as a beach lifeguard giving me most of my qualifications (CPR, first aid & AED certs). I am excited to get to know both you & your kids, hoping to make an impact in your family's life!

Vanessa was a night nurse for us for a couple weeks. She did a fantastic job! Not a peep from my baby and I slept like a rock because I knew my baby was in good hands!

I am 22 years old and I just moved to Bayville from union county after living there my whole life. I love writing and reading on my free time and spending time with my friends and family. Making the people around me happy is my number one priority and I enjoy seeing others succeed. I love cooking and baking with my siblings and significant others. Cooking has always been a passion of mine since I was a little kid. I am cpr and first aid certified for adults, children and infants. The school I worked at for 2 years and a few months just ended their summer camp and is a long commute from where I live now. I want to continue in the childcare care field but don’t want to have to commute an hour anymore. I have looked into other schools and daycares but I feel like nannying is more for me as I love to be one on one with children to give them my full attention. I can’t wait to see where this takes me. Thank you for your time!

Hello! My name is Mary and I am a very patient, kind, experienced and mature child care giver that has worked with every age up through elementary school age. I have cared for both boys and girls and even had 2 separate jobs taking care of multiples that gave me a great ability to multi task! In the past 5 years, I have helped out with several families caring for both boys and girls from ages 4mos up to 4 1/2 yrs old. This experience comes with a background of assisting potty training and transitioning babies from bottles to solid foods. I did have success helping with 2 girls in potty training and did gain experience in helping 'pickier eaters' in their toddler years. My past positions only ended for the children to start pre-school, however I still help out a couple of those families when they have a school holiday or the child is home sick. My schedule has recently opened up so I would love to bring my experience to a new family, whether it was on a regular basis a few days per week or even as needed. I always incorporate learning at every opportunity no matter child's age and am great at being creative for playtime. I maintain safety as my #1 priority but find its helpful to always keep a sense of humor. I am just over the age of 50 which means i am not glued to my phone and feel that i have found a great balance of being always engaged in what the child is doing while also allowing them to explore their independence which is so important to a small child. I have had experience caring for school age children but also love being a witness to a baby's early years and seeing them achieve new developemental milestones. That is such a fun time- especially seeing how proud of themselves they are!I have always believed that a love for books can begin at any age even if they just start by wanting to put the books in their mouths. Lol! I would love to start a new PT job as a sitter, nanny, or mother's helper and am comfortable with parents working in or out of their home. I am in northern ocean co. with a clean DL and my own car and am covid-19 and flu vaccinated. I am able to provide several references from previous child care jobs. My schedule right now is flexible, however I prefer daytime (especially mornings) unless the parent needs an occasional evening helper. I am very reliable and open to last minute changes in sched's that pop up. Please msg me if you'd like any more info! Thanks! -Mary

I am a young, active 63 year-old mother of three grown children and Grandma of two, who has always loved kids. I recently completed a 6 year nanny job for a family and am now looking for another position. I've enjoyed being a homemaker most of my life, but have held many other babysitting/nanny jobs over the last 40 years. I have also taught and developed children's programs for camp, kid's clubs and Sunday school. I've had a lot of experience with infants and am very comfortable around them. Two of my previous full time employers each had a newborn during my employment with them. I like to get kids out in the fresh air, go to parks, take walks, etc. Plus, I'm always on the lookout for local activities and happenings suited for children. I like to read, do art projects, and incorporate music. I simply love children and I enjoy spending time with them while also assisting parents in the various household needs. I'm able and willing to do light housework, laundry, meal preparation, pickups/drop offs, and errands. I can provide excellent references!
