Stephanie became such a special part of our family during the year she worked with us part time. I especially loved being able to bounce ideas off of her about my older child and find ways to encourage a bond between my two children despite their age difference. She gave me an outside perspective that, as a parent, I sometimes needed, and I truly believe she helped me reconnect with my older child in a way that brought us back to the closeness we had when he was little. She was honest, dependable, and so capable of handling whatever needed to be done when I couldn’t. Having her son around, seeing their relationship was such a beautiful example of the kind of relationship I hope to have with my own children as they grow. She really did become family, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any parent, especially one who feels nervous about having a nanny. She is so much more than a nanny.

I have three years of professional babysitting experience, though I've been babysitting for family much longer. I hope to be a positive influence in your child's life and make yours just a bit easier.

Marlin was great in every way - easy to communicate with, punctual, and attentive to every small detail in taking care of our preschooler and making sure he was comfortable while we were away. We definitely recommend her!

Hello! My name is Sharon, and I am an enthusiastic and experienced babysitter currently working in a school. I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth while creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I live in Little Ferry, I am 30 years old, and I speak both Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children, from infants to preschoolers, including 5 years as a teacher’s assistant in a school program and 3 years as a full-time nanny. I hold a CDA (Child Development Associate) certificate, CPR training, and an Associate degree. During the school year, I work Monday through Friday, and I enjoy working with families on weekends and occasionally whenever extra help is needed. Starting in June, I will be available for a more consistent position with a family. I truly love working with children. My goal is always to care for them, guide them, and support their development according to their age. Creating a space where they feel safe, happy, and excited to learn is my mission. I would be happy to provide references upon request.

We were in NJ to visit family for a week over the holidays, and Sharon watched our boys (ages 3.5 and 1.5) for about 8 hours almost every day we were there. She was absolutely wonderful for our boys. She showed up exactly on time each day with a contagiously bright and positive energy. We were limited to indoor activities, and even still, Sharon kept our boys busy and happy all day. We did have some arts and crafts supplies ready, as well as some toys, but she also came prepared with activities. She was communicative, patient, and very loving to our boys. My wife was in bed sick all week, but she was able to rest in peace knowing that Sharon was with our boys. It’s very apparent that she is experienced in being with children and intuiting their needs. We hope to work with Sharon many more times in the future!

We feel so lucky to have Laila caring for our little one full-time. Being a mom of four herself, her experience shines through in every interaction, but she’s also wonderfully respectful of how we want to raise our child and follows our routines effortlessly. She is incredibly attentive, kind, and always manages to get big smiles out of our baby. Any family would be lucky to have her!

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.

I started as a nurse when I started the university, besides I wanted to acquire money by my own means, it was a job that helped me not to dwell on my tasks.
