Jacquelyn G., Babysitter in Hopelawn, NJ 08861 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jacquelyn Gualpa. I am a 24-year-old college graduate who double majored in Communications and English. I hope to find a loving family and give your kids a memorable day. I have my own car and I have multiple years of experience in childcare. Not only have I taken a RedCross certification course to take care of my baby cousins, but I have also worked at a gym where I took care of children ages 1-12. Additionally, I was also a youth leader at The Institute of Music for Children in Elizabeth, NJ for three years. While there, I was responsible for the well- being and happiness of children ages 5-15. Your furry friends are welcome to have a blast with us! I worked at a PetSmart for three years making sure all of the animals in the store were well taken care of. I love animals and have gained a lot of knowledge about them. It’s always a pleasure to meet your furry and/or scaly friends, and I'm more than happy to tend to them. I enjoy bringing a happy, optimistic, and creative atmosphere to everyone I meet and believe this is especially important for kids. I'd love to have the opportunity to help out your family this season. Languages: •English (fluent) •Spanish (fluent) Thank You!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! She has been with our family for the past two years and has been an incredible caregiver to our boys. She is kind, loving, dependable, and truly cares about them. She keeps them active, engaged, and always on the go—whether it’s trips to the park, sports, music classes, playdates, or other fun adventures. She drives them wherever they need to go and is always keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind especially for two working parents! Sandy has had such a positive impact on our youngest, who is now 2½. Thanks to her, he speaks and understands so much Spanish! More than anything, she has built such a genuine, loving relationship with both of our boys and treats them as if they were her own. They adore her! Any family would be lucky to have her!

Hi, I’m Mel! Looking to work 1-2 days a week alongside my current part time which runs from 3-6pm tues, thurs, fri. Will clear out any one of my work days to work for you if the job is a fit. Open to positions within 5 miles of Linden. **Alternatively looking for a LIVE-IN job within NJ or NY.** I’m 29, CPR/First Aid certified, and have over 13 years of growing experience in babysitting and nannying for infants, multiples, twins, and neurodivergent children. An important aspect of childcare I value greatly is the connection and understanding I’m able to build with children to meet their needs— allowing everyone’s day to flow as smoothly as possible. I’m work with all sorts of energy levels and personalities and enjoy creating fun, enriching environments through activities like arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. 🚗 Must have a car I can use if the position requires driving. Mine is currently for my commute only. My rate starts at $24/hour and increases by $1 for each additional child (paid trial days included). References available upon request. I’m available for video, phone, and in-person interviews. Looking forward to connecting!

Mel has worked with my now 3 year old for a few months. My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and Mel did a terrific job with making her feel more comfortable. I highly recommend Mel and will definitely call her again down the line if I need her help.

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.

Clarita S., Babysitter in Hopelawn, NJ 08861 with 5 years of paid experience

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩‍👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. Most recently, in 2025, I cared for a 5‑month‑old, providing attentive supervision, preparing light snacks, and assisting with light housekeeping. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!

Esmina O., Babysitter in Hopelawn, NJ 08861 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! My name is Esmina! I have over 7 years of experience in professional care plus a little over 5 years of my own as I have a beautiful daughter who just turn 5 in April. Before having my daughter, I was a mother’s helper to an awesome family in Long Island, NY. My position was a mix of everything! I picked up the kids from school, drove them to doctors appointments, play dates and extracurricular activities. I ran errands such as pharmacy trips and grocery shopping. I took the kids from the time they got home from school until bedtime as we had a solid bedtime routine. Laundry was done, folded and put away at least 2x per week as well. I love to cook so I made the family dinner every night and the kids loved it when I cooked! They also became interested and wanted to help me 😊. I enjoy what I do and love being around children… when you’re a parent they become your whole world. The mama bear instincts are there and I would care for yours as if they were mine! Look forward to meeting you!
