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.

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!

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!

I enjoy working with children and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can learn and grow. Every child has a unique personality, and I love building relationships with them while giving parents peace of mind that their children are in good hands. I have experience caring for children through babysitting, working with families, and serving in leadership roles that required responsibility, communication, and problem-solving. I'm also a Resident Assistant at Penn State Berks, where I've developed strong interpersonal and conflict-resolution skills. As a Psychology student, I have a growing understanding of child development and behavior. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and a strong communicator. I'm comfortable helping with homework, planning engaging activities, preparing simple meals, and maintaining routines. My background in psychology has given me valuable knowledge about child development, and I'm always committed to creating a safe, positive environment for every child.

I really just have a heart for kids. I really want to work with kids. For the past year I was working as a BHT (Behavioral Health Technician) with a client who has special needs. Unfortunately, right now I don’t have any clients due to assessments not being completed. I would like a job more stable. Unofficially, I have watched my siblings kids (ages from new born to 6 years old) many times. I am CPR and First Aid certified. As I already mentioned, I am a BHT. I have keep up with all the newest training and requirements.

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!
