Brooke C., Babysitter in Highland Lakes, NJ 07422 with 2 years of paid experience

I enjoy spending time with kids and creating a fun safe space for them to learn and grow. I have over a year of experience working at a daycare with children ages 2 to 4, along with babysitting for families. I’m patient, responsible, and great at keeping children engaged through play, learning activities, and daily routines. I'm also comfortable with pets as I have experience for caring for them.

Danielle M., Babysitter in Highland Lakes, NJ 07422 with 15 years of paid experience

A little bit about me : My name is Danielle, I have been a caregiver for over 20 years. I am up-to-date with my CPR certification and fully vaccinated . Caring for children has always come natural to me . I am also a mom of two grown kids. I have many years experience and I am well educated, and consider myself an excellent communicator and have the role model/teacher mindset .I also have solid experience as a nanny I would describe myself as a Household Manager/Nanny based on some of the things I’ve done in prior positions because I clearly go above and beyond what’s required; I hope you would value my proactive approach but still be able to direct things to be able to be done the way you want. From sign language to tummy time and sensory play, I have a wonderful way of providing individualized care that is unique to each child’s needs and parents’ requests. After transitioning from being a head infant room teacher at a daycare center to private nannying, I have learned so much . I also can provide for you excellent references upon your request as well as my Resume.

I am a compassionate, loving, go with the flow woman who adores children, yet can be firm at times if required. I have two grown children of my own and seem to attract the angel eyes of little kids. I have been lovingly nicknamed the baby whisperer by a family worker for about 8 years ago. And it has followed me through the years. I have a true love for caring for children and can’t wait to hear from the family that I hope to become a part of!!

Joanna F., Babysitter in Highland Lakes, NJ 07422 with 5 years of paid experience

My name is Joanna Floriano. I am a woman of many hats with much experience, credentials and references within the childcare field. Since the beginning I have always felt a connection to kids. My mother when I was born became an owner and director of her own daycare and preschool. She ran this from our home and some of my fondest memories were being her little helper and watching her care for others. When I got older she closed the daycare, and moved to Pennsylvania to became the director of a new daycare preschool there. This is where I volunteered most of my time. After two years I landed a position at the daycare as a teachers assistant, office assistant and made sure to keep up with my certifications. Lifeguarding, CPR, First Aid, child development, drivers license and Fire safety. Today I have returned back to NY where I have finished up my bachelors degree in the health sciences and have held positions as a nanny and caregiver for different family’s with infants up to age twelve. Taking day trips, getting the kids to events, doing fun crafts and teaching we’re all apart of my daily routine. I have kept up with my certifications and am looking for a position.

Hi! My name is Athena, and I just finished my first year of college studying Biochemistry at St. John Fisher University.

I have prior experience in childcare, as I have been actively providing babysitting services for families throughout my high school years, and I have ample experience with children of all ages. In addition to childcare, I'm well-versed in math, science, and English, and enjoy helping children build academic confidence and abilities. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help your child thrive both at home and academically!

Charles  D., Babysitter in Highland Lakes, NJ 07422 with 16 years of paid experience

I am a 55 year old father of two grown wonderful sons. I work as a management consultant during the day but I have a great deal of latitude with my time. I am intelligent, compassionate, warm, funny, kind and accountable. I am a rugby and sports coach, artist, accomplished chef, organic farmer, and teacher. I am an avid surfer, swimmer and kayaker and love the great outdoors. I am a former boy scout leader from when my kids were younger. I love looking after kids of all ages and helping them grow into healthy, kind, loving adults. I am currently exploring becoming a foster parent now that my kids have grown and flown the coop. I would be happy to contribute my positive energy, love, warmth and compassion and parenting skills to looking after some great kids. I am particularly skilled and experienced with Jewish and LGBTQ families and working with children who have ADHD, learning or physical disabilities. I am a high energy guy who loves being with kids who will challenge me intellectually and physically. I have helped raise children of every age through assisting my friends and very large Irish family. I am currently seeking short term child or young adult minding assignments. Ideally, a couple of days or evenings or as a sitter for a special event or an evening out. I live in Weehawkin NJ and have an office in Times Square. Ideally, I would like to pursue sitting assignments in NYC, Hoboken or Jersey City. But, I am always open to a conversation if you are outside that geographic area. I am very comfortable with multiple kids and family pets of all sizes. I am a non smoker, rarely drink, try to cook a healthy mediterranean diet. I esoecially enjoy showing kids how to cook, clean, do laundry, and care for animals. I seek to adhere to your parenting style and family and household rules. While I am proficient in the use of social media and technology i hope to work for families who want to use it minimally. I prefer to be in a pool, beach, park or a back yard and encouraging kids to breath fresh air and play games, build camps, do arts and crafts projects, and use their imagination and creative gifts rather than playing video games. I look forward to hearing from you. Charles.
