Hi! My name is Courtney. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, ranging in caring for children from 5 months to 14 years old. In addition to my babysitting experience, I also have a bachelor’s degree. A little more about me: I am a very responsible, fun, enthusiastic, and loving caregiver who can provide excellent care for your child/children. I love outdoor activities, games, arts & crafts, sports, reading, being creative, and encouraging kids to learn. I am a very positive and upbeat person, and truly realize the impact I have on the children I care for. I am also very respectful & will follow any schedule or rules that you have set. I am an animal lover and am comfortable around any pets you may have. Please contact me for your childcare needs. Thank you!

We are from out of town and needed a sitter while we attended a wedding. Courtney was awesome-our kiddos really enjoyed her, she was communicative and flexible when our schedule didn’t go to plan. We would highly recommend her!

I can’t recommend Jennifer’s childcare service enough. From the time my daughter was a newborn through 6 months old, she has been in the most caring and capable hands. Jennifer is incredibly helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure both baby and parents feel comfortable and supported. She is consistently communicative, keeping me updated throughout the day and always making herself available for questions or check-ins. Most importantly, she is someone I completely trust, something that is priceless when it comes to your child. Knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for has given me such peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she provides every single day.

I’m a doctor from Ecuador currently in the process of validating my medical degree in the U.S., and I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I have experience babysitting my nieces and cousins, planning fun activities, and helping with after-school meals and homework. I’m caring, patient, and responsible, and I love making sure kids feel safe, happy, and supported while their parents are away.

We have been incredibly fortunate to have Maria (Belen) caring for our (now) 18 month old daughter since October 2025. As working parents who commute, trusting someone with our child’s safety is everything, and she has always given us complete peace of mind. Belen is so kind, playful, empathetic and intuitive. My daughter loves Belen and loves blowing bubbles with her along with reading, dancing, singing and coloring. Belen ensures her play area is clean and my daughter is well fed. She is very attentive to safety and to my daughter's well-being/health. She has never missed a day and always communicates in advance about any schedule changes, which we greatly appreciate. She is also very loving toward our senior dog and brings warmth and positivity into our home each day. We are truly thankful for her care, reliability, and friendship, and any family would be lucky to have her.

Hi! My name is Jennifer Casey. I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree in education and have been teaching for 9 years. I have had the opportunity to babysit for families from birth until the children were old enough to drive. I have recently been able to witness my first kid (now grown up) get married this past July! I look forward to hearing from you and working with your child/ren. When babysitting, I enjoy being interactive with the children whether that’s taking them outside in the backyard or to a nearby park, making arts and crafts for an upcoming holiday or simply just reading.

Laura is easy to work with and very friendly. My two boys took to her really quickly and count the days down until they see her again. She provides a fun and safe space and always in a good mood. She is reliable and easy to reach at all times. She drives and bilingual which is a plus.

Hello! I recently moved out of New York City leaving my job in childcare (ages prek-8th) of 3 years. Now I am back in school, training to become a Pilates teacher and generally have a flexible schedule. I loved working with the kids, and the emotional reward of impacting their small lives. In addition to my professional experience in childcare, I also have always had young kids in my family to look after. I want to be a mom myself one day, but until then, I will pour my love, nurture, and attention to others. Thank you for your consideration!

With over 7 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, I bring both knowledge and genuine passion to every family I work with. I spent 4 years as an infant caregiver, where I built a strong foundation in nurturing care, safety, and supporting early developmental milestones. I currently work as a preschool teacher in Mt. Lakes, creating a warm, engaging environment that encourages children’s social, emotional, and academic growth. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Child and Family Studies and will be continuing my education at Rutgers University this fall in Childhood Studies. I am deeply committed to providing reliable, thoughtful, and developmentally informed care that helps children feel safe, supported, and confident. I especially enjoy working with infants and young children and value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I am currently available after 2 PM and am happy to drive locally for the right fit. Whether I’m comforting a baby, planning engaging activities, or helping a child navigate new experiences, I approach every moment with patience, care, and heart.
