Although we ended up canceling due to a family member being available to watch our little one… Maya was very responsive and we felt confident. She provided everything we needed prior and communicated very promptly.

We were traveling from out of town for a wedding and in need of child care for 3 toddlers. Ella was unbelievable. Nature, mature, responsible, patient- she put me at immediate ease and my kids loved her. Only wish we lived closer so she could be a regular Sitter for us. She’s a special one.

Molly  N., Babysitter in Lafayette, NJ 07848 with 3 years of paid experience

I am a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider with 3–4 years of hands-on experience working in a daycare setting with children ranging from infants to school-age. In addition to my daycare background, I have provided one-on-one babysitting for a 1-year-old, giving me strong experience with routines, feeding, and early developmental support. I currently work in a school as a special class aide, where I support children with diverse learning and developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for every child. I am also in graduate school pursuing my Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy, which gives me a deeper understanding of child development, communication, and early learning. I love engaging children in fun, educational activities while ensuring they feel safe, supported, and happy.

Emily T., Babysitter in Lafayette, NJ 07848 with 2 years of paid experience

• I developed a love for caring and dealing with kids at an early age myself because I grew up in a tight knit family and watched over my younger cousins. My career goal is to work in the NICU as a nurse so children themselves are my passion! • Though no outside of family experience I am the most reliable known for babysitting in my family and all the parents rely on me when they want to have date-nights..etc • I have most of my experience with toddlers so I understand their train of thoughts and how to work with them as well as with young teens I myself understand how to deal with their feelings/emotions.

Camryn G., Babysitter in Lafayette, NJ 07848 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! my name is Camryn, I’m a dependable, patient and caring caregiver with experience working in daycare and nannying settings. I currently work part time as a phlebotomist Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM, which gives me a lot of flexible availability for afternoon, evening and some weekend childcare needs. I’ve cared for children of different ages and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable and engaged. Through my daycare and nannying experience, I’ve helped with things like light meal prep, playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, and keeping children on a consistent schedule. I understand the importance of being attentive, responsible, and communicative with parents. Working in healthcare has also strengthened my professionalism, patience, reliability, and ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping families however I can. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and providing trustworthy, compassionate care!
