Hi! I’m a 19-year-old second-year accounting student with a strong passion for childcare and helping others. I have 3 years of experience working as a lifeguard, where I developed responsibility, attentiveness, and strong safety skills. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I’m very involved in my community and love staying active—I’m also a cheerleader, so I bring a fun, energetic, and positive attitude to everything I do. I truly enjoy working with children, especially babies, and I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I also have my own car for reliable transportation and am happy to help with light tasks, playtime, and creating a safe, engaging environment. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I started babysitting way back when I was just 12yrs old. I have a grown son and a teen daughter. While I do not currently work, I have over 16yrs experience as an LPN, primarily as a pediatric and family practice nurse. I live in Belvidere, with my husband and teen daughter. I look forward to becoming a grandmother in August 2026, but my son lives almost 9hrs away.

Hi, my name is Judy, and at 62 I bring something truly valuable to your family — a lifetime of love, patience, and hands-on experience with children. While I may not have paid nanny experience, I raised three wonderful children of my own: a daughter, now 31, and twin boys, now 23. I poured my whole heart into their upbringing, and that same dedication is exactly what I offer to any child in my care. Beyond my own family, I spent 8 years working in a local elementary school, where I deepened my understanding of children at different stages of development and learned how to connect with them in meaningful ways. I am a team player who believes in open communication with parents. I am loyal, respectful, and always mindful of your family's boundaries and values. When it comes to your children, I am an open book — please feel free to ask me anything. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I would love the opportunity to meet your family.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with kids and being a positive part of their day. I like creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. It’s really rewarding to build connections with kids and help them learn, grow, and gain confidence. What experience do you have? I have a strong background working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve worked in a preschool with children ages 3–5, have experience babysitting, and taught first grade in Paterson, New Jersey. I’m currently working as a paraprofessional supporting children with special needs, which has given me even more hands-on experience with different learning styles, behaviors, and individualized support. What skills and training do you have? My education is in psychology, and I’m currently in school to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. This has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional support. I’m patient, reliable, and able to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I’m also experienced in creating structure, managing routines, and helping children feel safe, understood, and cared for.

I love animals and I even have a puppy myself so I don't mind a home that has pets. Fun fact about me: I love to bake and cook, so much so that I even had a cupcake business and an empanada business in the past!
