Daisy H., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Daisy, I have ten years of experience as a child care provider. I am a John Jay college of Criminal justice graduate with a BA in legal studies, and am currently pursuing my masters in school counseling. My schedule is very flexible. As a sitter I like to be able to engage the children in age appropriate fun activities both in the home and out. I also prefer to have open communication with parents regarding their children. My experiences in child care vary from supervising children's safety, nutrition and activities. As well as, maintaining play areas well kept and making food preparations when asked by parents. I am also experienced in providing homework help to children of all ages, and genuinely care for and love children. My most recent employment experiences have included working as a teacher assistant in a daycare school. As well as working as a STEM after school teacher for an after school program in Queens NY. I am Fingerprinted approved by the NYC/PA DOH & DOI . And also have both CPR and First aid certification. Phone numbers for references will be given upon request through private messaging due to privacy concerns and respect for my listed references.

I love working with children. My favorite is to watch them learn something new and light up when they want to show off something that is so important to them.

Jeyda V., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 3 years of paid experience

My name is Jeyda, and I’m so grateful that you’re taking the time to learn a little about me. I’ve always felt like caregiving is a calling — not just something I do, but something that’s a part of who I am. I grew up in a big, close-knit family where helping with the little ones came naturally. I was the cousin who could always be found rocking a baby to sleep, calming a tantrum, or organizing games in the living room. Over the years, I realized how much joy it brings me to be someone a child feels safe with — someone they can laugh with, lean on, and trust. That love for caregiving turned into real experience when I began babysitting for families in my community and later worked at a preschool called The Learning Experience. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and older kids, and I’ve also had the chance to support children on the autism spectrum — which taught me a lot about patience, communication, and the beauty of seeing the world through different perspectives. What matters most to me as a caregiver is building a connection. I want every child I care for to feel heard, valued, and genuinely loved. I believe in gentle guidance, open communication, and lots of encouragement. Whether we’re singing songs during snack time, exploring outside, or navigating big feelings together, I’m there to support not only the child, but you as a family too. Right now, I’m studying to become a labor and delivery nurse — a path that reflects how deeply I care about people, especially in their most important and vulnerable moments. I’m also certified in CPR and First Aid for both infants and adults, so safety is always a priority in everything I do. At the end of the day, I don’t just want to be another set of hands — I want to be someone who makes your child feel special, safe, and celebrated. If I sound like someone who could be a good fit for your home, I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family better”.
