Hi! My name is Courtney. I have over eight 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!

Although we ended up canceling due to a family member being available to watch our little one… Maya was very responsive and we felt confident. She provided everything we needed prior and communicated very promptly.

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.

Hi! I'm Christina. It's wonderful to "meet" you! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Millersville University of Pennsylvania and a Master's degree in Education Technology. I have also been a Red Cross lifeguard, so I have had my CPR and First Aid certifications in the past. I was working as a third grade teacher for about 9 school years and now I am an elementary school librarian for grades PREK-5th! I have several references from babysitting and teaching and background checks from the state of NJ. I am currently looking for part-time (scheduled or occasional) night or weekend babysitting hours. I have been working with children all my life through teaching, tutoring, coaching cheerleading and swimming, church school, nursery care, after school programs and work experiences. I love spending time with children and seeing them discover, play and learn. Please feel free to reach out to me if you think we will be a great fit!

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.

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!
