Jennifer R., Babysitter in Emerson, NJ 07630 with 25 years of paid experience

My name is Jenny, and there are 2 things I love in this world the most - children and music! I am an opera singer, mom and music teacher, and have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old for neighborhood families, and then supported myself through college and graduate school with part time nanny positions. I also teach young kids to sing and play the piano. I am very responsible, caring and encouraging. I've raised 3 babies of my own who are school age now, and I have more free time. I'd love to be a part of your family's life!

Jenny has been babysitting for my son for about a year. He is now 6 1/2 years old. We love Jenny! He is now also taking piano lessons from here. He is watching me type this and says "I love having piano lessons with her. We love her!" I highly recommend her. She also dog sits for us.

Hello! With over 16 years of professional childcare experience, I specialize as an Infant Care Specialist, supporting families through the important early stages of their child's development. My expertise includes infant care, healthy sleep foundations, feeding support, developmental milestones, establishing consistent routines, and creating customized schedules that help both infants and parents thrive. I have extensive experience working with both domestic and international families, providing discreet, professional, and personalized care.

I encourage learning through play, creativity, outdoor exploration, music, art, cooking activities, and educational outings that foster confidence, curiosity, and independence. Throughout my career, I have accompanied families on domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, seasonal relocations, and extended vacations. Whether providing overnight support, temporary full-time coverage, travel assistance, or short-term care while families search for a permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, reliable support tailored to each family's needs. My background includes leading children's art and theatre programs through YMCA programs in California and Wisconsin. Families consistently describe me as calm, dependable, adaptable, and genuinely invested in their children's well-being and development.

Rates vary based on the age and number of children, scheduling requirements, evenings, overnights, and travel. If you are seeking an experienced Infant Care Specialist who brings warmth, expertise, discretion, and structure to your family, I would be delighted to connect with you.

Arlene B., Babysitter in Emerson, NJ 07630 with 14 years of paid experience

Hi everyone, I'm Arlene a capable , responsible , fun , caring, loving nanny and I'm also a trained new born care specialist, I'm certified with over 16 years experience as a nanny as well . I'm trained in circumcision care, umbilical cord care ,getting babies on schedule and helping new parents transition into this new adventure in their lives. As a nanny I've grown to understand that every family and situation is different so I pride myself in learning new ways to bring stability and joy to each family I work with . Growing up I was the eldest in our home and therefore was left at times to to care of my younger siblings . I'm fun to have around , your children will be happy to have me as their nanny.I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them especially babies is rewarding but sometimes challenging. Over the years, I have developed special techniques that prove useful in calming young babies, including the most restless ones. I am in favor of a structured day as it gives children an opportunity to follow a schedule, I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. All my employers have been happy with my work and have often complemented me on my expertise in taking care of young children.I'm certified in CPR and First Aid as well and l have since then kept my certifications up to date .I believe such knowledge is important for a nanny and can be a life saver in case of an injury or accident.l have references available upon request , likewise a background check. I know I can be an asset to your family if you decide to allow me to be a part of it .

Arlene is knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and above all, a nurturing caregiver to our son. She has provided us and our four month old with quality care and is deserving of a five star review! In addition to her knowledge and experience she has a very kind disposition and a strong work ethic. Arlene arrives at work on time and has accommodated us on several occasions by changing her schedule to help us. Arlene is extremely attentive and has a wonderful way with children. Arlene communicates well with us and sends updates and pictures during the day to keep us informed. We have made the right choice by inviting Arlene into our home and our family.

Adama B., Babysitter in Emerson, NJ 07630 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Adama! I’m a full-time finance student and CPR & First Aid certified, currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting (evenings, weekends, date nights, or short shifts). I have 3–4 years of childcare experience, including caring for children in both home and program settings. I previously worked as a youth mentor with So Shell Butterflies (HANAC) and provided care for a family with three children ages 3–12. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I enjoy keeping children engaged through play, homework help, and outdoor activities. I adapt easily to each family’s routines and prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m best suited for families looking for a responsible, dependable sitter rather than full-time childcare. I look forward to supporting families who need flexible, quality care.

Lisa L., Babysitter in Emerson, NJ 07630 with 10 years of paid experience

Edit I am an upbeat, interactive, articulate, attentive, fun, and very nurturing woman who has over 10 years experience working as a nanny. I have also been employed as a Hatha Yoga instructor to 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program. I genuinely enjoy engaging a child in safe, fun and creative play and learning via reading, singing and dancing, athletics, visiting libraries and museums, running around parks and playgrounds, crafts, stimulating games and puzzles that encourage mental & physical development, teaching baby sign language or fostering verbal skills through imaginary play & dress-up, yoga, and just lots of sweet, affectionate and cuddly time spent together. Sharing time and energy in the delightful and stimulating company of a child, as I create a supportive , positive, healthy and happy environment in which to laugh & learn, is my idea of a workday well spent! In many of the letters of recommendation included with my resume, are parents' descriptions of me as a very attentive, patient, athletic, articulate, affectionate and very positive influence in a child's life. Having cared for numerous challenging children with special needs, I am quite able to be firm, yet loving as boundaries are set and maintained in a fun, happy and respectful manner. While working as a Hatha Yoga instructor to NYC's P. S. 124 & 126's 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program, I developed my natural skills of being not only creative and firm, but patient, attentive, sensitive, athletic, articulate and very health/safety-conscious when it comes to the excellent and special care I enjoy giving to children. Their delightful and stimulating company, no matter what age, has always been an education and enlightenment for me over the 10 yr. nanny career I've worked in NYC. What a way to make a living! Engaging and exchanging time and energies with little ones {my experience is with 6 weeks. - 11 yrs. old } is so rewarding as I get to have my own life enriched and enhanced by their extraordinary curiosities, affections and rapid growth as I teach and model for them a strong, positive, cultured, healthy, self-confident, well-spoken, kind, engaged, artistic and creatively-adventurous woman. I have cared for children from Harlem to the Hamptons, and loved it all! 3-4 full days is my preference, but other schedules definitely considered

Hello! My name is Elisabeth! I am 24, and I have been babysitting for 10 years! As a full-time teacher, working with children is something I find joy in! I enjoy babysitting because it allows my parents to go out or run that errand with the assurance that their child/children are being well cared for. For us (The child/children and I), it's a time to explore, play games, sing songs, dance, or bake! As mentioned before, I work during the day as a full-time teacher's assistant and evenings. and weekends as a babysitter. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my code ANA certification, mandated reporter, and Foundations in Health and Safety. I also have my driver's license!
