Lisa is an amazing babysitter. She took care of my 17-month-old daughter in Princeton, NJ, at our hotel for nine hours while I attended business meetings nearby. From the very beginning, she communicated clearly, was proactive, and arrived right on time. I loved how she built a genuine connection with my child within the first few minutes of meeting her. Her approach is thoughtful and confident, and her frequent updates throughout the day gave me complete peace of mind. I felt entirely at ease knowing my daughter was in reliable, caring hands. Lisa is incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. Thank you again, Lisa — when we’re back in Princeton for work, I’ll definitely reach out!

It is with a bittersweet heart that I write this review for Debby, who has been more than a nanny to our family since for the past two and a half years. Debby has become an indispensable part of our lives, particularly in the development and nurturing of our son, Neev since he was only 6 months old. From the outset, Debby embraced Neev with a warmth and dedication that is rare to find. Her approach to childcare goes beyond the conventional; she is deeply caring, attentive, and has an innate ability to connect with children at their level. Debby has been instrumental in supporting Neev's every aspect of physical and mental development. Safety has always been Debby's priority, and under her vigilant supervision, Neev has never experienced injury or harm. This peace of mind has been invaluable to us as parents. Moreover, Debby has been incredibly accommodating and diligent about attending all of Neev’s medical appointments, ensuring that he receives the necessary care and interventions without delay. Feeding a picky eater like my son can be a challenge, but Debby has handled this with creativity and persistence, introducing him to a variety of foods and making mealtime an enjoyable and educational experience. Her efforts have significantly improved Neev's eating habits and overall nutrition. Debby's commitment to Neev's growth extends beyond basic care; she incorporates STEM activities into his daily routine, fostering an environment of learning and curiosity. She has enriched Neev’s life with arts and crafts, baking, and a variety of engaging educational experiences that have contributed significantly to his cognitive and emotional development. Beyond her professional capabilities, Debby has shown an immense capacity for empathy and kindness. She has become a cherished member of our family, someone we trust implicitly and respect deeply. Since we are sending our son to preschool, her departure is a significant loss for us, but we are grateful for the immeasurable impact she has had on our lives and especially on Neev’s development. Any family would be fortunate to have Debby as part of their children's lives. She is not only a superb nanny but a wonderful person who brings joy, safety, and learning into the homes she enters. We are deeply thankful for her time with us and wholeheartedly recommend her services. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions you may have regarding her experience with her.

Alissa F., Babysitter in Hightstown, NJ 08520 with 32 years of paid experience

With over 32 years of experience caring for children of all ages and managing a household, I bring both deep maternal wisdom and professional reliability to every family I support. Having raised my own children and now grandchildren, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and supported. As a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher, I enjoy incorporating gentle movement, breathing, and mindfulness practices that help children develop focus, self-awareness, and emotional balance. I believe in fostering connection through creativity, play, and communication — and in working closely with parents as a team to ensure the best care possible. I am CPR certified, highly dependable, and known for creating peaceful, organized, and joyful spaces for children to grow. I’m currently seeking a long-term position with a family who values kindness, stability, and mindful living.
