Mutsumi M., Babysitter in Lionshead Lake, NJ 07470 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello, families. I am a retired kindergarten and elementary school teacher. Spending time with children is not only my favorite activity, but also my passion. I’m a humorous mother who values independence, both for myself and my children. I would love to share my experience as both a teacher and a mother with parents who are currently in need of parenting support.

Mutsumi is the best nanny anyone could ask for. She was with us for nearly 3 years and has become part of our family. Her creative teaching methods helped our son flourish. Everything from learning the alphabet, to counting, to reading, to music, to Japanese, she pushed the limits of what we thought was possible for a toddler. Mutsumi helped shape our son as he’s now ready for school. We cannot recommend Mutsumi highly enough!!

Sharon V., Babysitter in Lionshead Lake, NJ 07470 with 8 years of paid experience

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!

Stephanie C., Babysitter in Lionshead Lake, NJ 07470 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 7am-5/6pm M-Th. Friday mornings and an occasional evening for date nights, as nights and weekends is dedicated to my child/family. A little about me. My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.

Stephanie is an absolute gem! I had her watch my infant while I worked in office, and she was a lifesaver. She is intuitive and proactive. My baby is usually tough with new people, but she was calm and happy with her instantly. She turned a potentially stressful day into a peaceful one and even shared some great tips on infant care. If you are looking for someone professional who truly understands babies, I cannot recommend Stephanie enough.

Hi Families! My name is Jo, and I have over 15 years of experience in childcare for all ages.

My strong references from my previous employers will prove that I would be a great fit for your family. I have a very energetic personality and multitasking is not an issue for me.

She was absolutely wonderful with our little one. It was our first time leaving him with a babysitter outside of the family so we were a little nervous, but Margie put our worries at ease by sending us some text updates during the night (at our request). Our son was in a great mood when we got home and asked about her for a few days after. I would highly recommend her.
