Tanaya D., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Tanaya! I’ve had a natural love for caring for children ever since I was young. I began working with children in high school and later gained a year of professional experience working at a daycare. I also help care for my 9-month-old niece, giving me hands-on experience with infants! I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice at Southern New Hampshire University. I have experience caring for children from newborns through elementary school (5th grade). I’m comfortable assisting with feeding, diaper changes, playtime, daily routines, and age-appropriate activities. I enjoy keeping children engaged through creative activities, games, and learning experiences while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid for infants, children, and adults! Outside of childcare, I enjoy painting, reading, and spending time with my two dogs. I’m also pet-friendly and comfortable working in homes with pets! I would describe myself as patient, dependable, attentive, and someone who genuinely enjoys building positive relationships with children and their families. My goal is to provide a fun, nurturing, and supportive environment while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family! Clearances & Qualifications: I have completed my Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance, PA State Police Criminal History Clearance, and FBI fingerprint background check. I also have a valid driver’s license and can provide copies of my available clearance documents upon request.

Lauren D., Babysitter in Columbia, NJ 07832 with 9 years of paid experience

I have significant experience working with children of all ages. In addition to being a camp counselor, volunteer, and babysitter of all ages, I have worked with children professionally for the past 8 years. I began as an early childhood teacher (floater) then transitioned to a full-time infant teacher while completing my Bachelors Degree. As a full-time infant teacher, my co-teacher and I cared for 8 infants; in addition to caring, we promoted a positive and nurturing environment focusing on physical, mental, and social-emotional growth. After graduating, I worked as a paraprofessional at Sage Day School, a private school catering to students with emotional and behavioral needs. I then transitioned to Woodcliff Lake Middle School as a Special Education Teacher's Assistant where I worked one-on-one in an LLD classroom learning/teaching ABA. During the pandemic, I found myself searching for new opportunities and ultimately could not be happier working FT at Huntington Learning Center.

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

My name is Hailey and I am attending the county college of Morris studying psychology. I am certified in cpr, aed & first aid for infants & kids/ people all ages. Currently, I am working for Atlantic health care at newton medical center as a patient sitter where I care for patients and help them with any assistance they may need. As for my experience with caring for children I have gained a lot from babysitting my younger brother from infant to present (9 years old) from long period of time up to over night. I have babysat two children at once ex. Ages 4 & 6 so caring for multiple children at once is no problem. I will always make sure your child will have any chores/school work they may need to do completed while also making sure they are happy and having a good time. I do not have experience as a “nanny” but I would love to start somewhere and gain some, I am confident I could be one of the best with all my experience and love for kids! I really enjoy working with children and would love to get all the experience I can because of what I am studying and what I would like to pursue with my degree one day working with children of all ages. So I hope you will give me the opportunity to show you how well I can/will care for your child. If you have any questions for me please ask!

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.

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.
