Londyn G., Babysitter in Dover, NJ 07801 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello Families, My name is Londyn and I am full time nanny (during the weekdays) and a student studying Pediatric Nuclear Medicine. I have been in childcare for 20+ years and am well versed in behavioral, mental, and physical milestones. I have experience with all ages, including newborns, and am first aid and CPR certified. I am a caring and nurturing person, and children have always felt comfortable near me. I have worked with children with behavioral issues, slower developmental development, as well as children with Autism and Downs Syndrome. For the family I currently work with, I do meal prep for the parents for the week, laundry, run errands, and all tasks involving the children (cooking their dinners, preparing their lunches, homework help, driving them around, etc.). I truly love being a nanny/sitter and working with children of all ages.

We are from out of town and needed a sitter while we attended a wedding. Courtney was awesome-our kiddos really enjoyed her, she was communicative and flexible when our schedule didn’t go to plan. We would highly recommend her!

We hired Micah as an occasional babysitter for our 2 year old daughter. We appreciate her prompt replies when we ask for help, and she is kind and playful with our child! She has a calm and trustworthy demeanor. We haven't needed the extra help lately, but when we do, she is on our list of sitters to call!

Jennifer C., Babysitter in Dover, NJ 07801 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jennifer Casey. I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree in education and have been teaching for 9 years. I have had the opportunity to babysit for families from birth until the children were old enough to drive. I have recently been able to witness my first kid (now grown up) get married this past July! I look forward to hearing from you and working with your child/ren. When babysitting, I enjoy being interactive with the children whether that’s taking them outside in the backyard or to a nearby park, making arts and crafts for an upcoming holiday or simply just reading.

Kelly has been and is currently our sitter of choice for the past 9 years! She started with us when my younger son was an infant and my oldest was a toddler. My kids loved her from the start. She was very engaging with them and kept them occupied by playing games or reading stories etc. She always made them feel safe and cared for. As a parent what I loved most, was at the end of the evening, we would get a full report of the nights event from Kelly. We could tell she really knew our kids. Kelly is hands down the most reliable, responsible and hard working babysitter I know! She never hesitated to reach out if there was a question or concern, but also was mature enough to handle situations on her own and totally appropriately. My husband and I trust her completely with our two sons and our dog which she pets sits for while we are away. We never worry when Kelly is with our kids or taking care of our dog and home. We feel truly blessed to have met Kelly many years ago and welcomed her into our lives. We really can't rave enough about the quality individual she is!
