Makayla B., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Makayla, and I’m from the Poconos. I’m currently a sophomore at West Chester University and have been babysitting in the West Chester area for the past 2 years, as well as occasionally at home. I’m looking for babysitting opportunities while I’m home for the summer. I have a flexible schedule and am available for consistent or full-time positions. I’m also willing to travel a reasonable distance for longer shifts. I enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. My semester ends mid May and I will be available then as soon as needed. I’m responsible, patient, and love keeping kids engaged with activities!

We had a wonderful experience with Makayla and would absolutely recommend her to other families. She cared for our 16-month-old during an evening while we were out, and from start to finish she was reliable, communicative, and kind. She arrived on time and kept us updated throughout the night. She spent time playing with her, reading books, and engaging with her in a warm and attentive way. Most impressively, she successfully handled bedtime smoothly and confidently, which is no small task with a toddler! She was calm, professional, and clearly experienced with young children. We would happily hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Jaelynn really has such skills in taking care of children. She has great intuition with infants-regularly changing them, feeding them, and providing attention to their needs. She is very patient with my little guy and she shows so much initiative. She does more than what I ask and her kindness just blows me away. I trust her with my little guy and know that he is in safe hands with her. If we could have 1,000 Jaelynn’s as babysitters, that would be a perfect world! Hiring Jaelynn is a non-negotiable for me! She is my go-to sitter always!

Taylor love O., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’ve always loved working with children. I have about four years of experience working in a daycare, which was owned by my mom, so I’ve been around children and childcare for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped care for children of different ages, including feeding, playing, helping with activities, keeping them on their routines, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I also have younger siblings, so babysitting and helping take care of kids has always been a big part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, caring, and comfortable handling the everyday responsibilities that come with caring for children. I enjoy keeping kids entertained while also making sure they feel comfortable and supported.💕

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children, helping them feel comfortable and cared for, and creating a fun and safe environment for them. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and always willing to help wherever I’m needed. I have experience working with children through coaching youth volleyball, where I’ve learned how to communicate with kids of different ages, keep them engaged, and handle different personalities and situations with patience. I’m also comfortable helping with activities, keeping children on a routine, and making sure they feel supported and supervised. I have training and experience in areas such as CPR/AED, first aid, concussion awareness, emergency procedures, and child safety. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I’m happy to help with homework, activities, meals, and keeping children entertained while following the routines and expectations set by each family.

Patricia S., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 10 years of paid experience

With over 20 years of experience working with children, I began volunteering in my local church’s children’s ministry during my teenage years. This experience, which involved working with various age groups and leading summer activities, inspired me to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education at a community college. I have since worked as a preschool teacher, gaining hands-on experience in fostering early learning. I am fluent in Spanish and hold all current Pennsylvania clearances. In addition, I have served as a substitute teacher assistant in my local school district, further expanding my skills in supporting diverse student needs. As a parent of three children, I homeschooled two of them up to their 4th grade, which provided me with valuable insight into the educational process and individualized learning approaches. This experience has deepened my understanding of early childhood development and the importance of creating a nurturing learning environment. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and ensuring their success, both academically and socially. I am excited to bring my background, skills, and dedication to a role where I can continue to positively impact young learners.

Erica S., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm someone who truly loves working with children. My favorite part is watching them learn something new and seeing how excited they get when they want to show you what they've accomplished. Being a small part of their growth and helping build their confidence is incredibly rewarding. I've been caring for children since I was 16 years old, starting with babysitting and continuing through a variety of childcare and education roles. I've worked as a preschool assistant with infants through school-age children, taught preschool, and currently work as a paraprofessional. These experiences have helped me become patient, dependable, and creative when it comes to keeping kids engaged, safe, and happy. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I always strive to create a fun, caring, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the kind of care that gives parents peace of mind while helping kids have fun and thrive!
