Stephanie C., Babysitter in Madison, NJ 07940 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.

Melissa G., Babysitter in Madison, NJ 07940 with 13 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Mel! I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny or babysitting position and will be available to start with one month’s notice. I’m based near Linden and open to positions within about 8 miles (excluding Staten Island). I’m 29, CPR/First Aid certified, and have over 13 years of experience in babysitting and nannying. My experience includes caring for infants, working as a mother’s helper, and caring for multiple children (in daycares as well), including twins. I’m very comfortable with energetic kids and enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment through activities like arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. I’m reliable, punctual, and naturally attentive, and I take pride in making both children and parents feel supported and at ease. My rate starts at $24/hour and increases by $1 for each additional child. I offer paid trial days at $23/hour. References are available upon request. I do require a one-month notice before transitioning to a new position, to ensure the family I’m currently working with has enough time to find a replacement caregiver. I’m available for video, phone, or 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.

Hi! I'm Piper. I'm 22 years old and a recent graduate from the University of Georgia, where I studied media and French. I grew up in a very chaotic and loud household, with 3 younger brothers, 3 dogs, and a cat, so I am very used to chaos!! I love working with children. This past summer, I was a camp counselor full time, and had about 20 6-7 year olds with me at all times. I am a strong swimmer, and have been certified for first aid and CPR. I am a big proponent for reading and learning languages at a young age. I am bilingual in English and French, and also know beginner sign language and German. In high school and early college, I babysat and housesat for various families in my neighborhood, so I've dealt with a wide range of ages. I also recently moved here from Atlanta, Georgia!

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.

I can’t recommend Jennifer’s childcare service enough. From the time my daughter was a newborn through 6 months old, she has been in the most caring and capable hands. Jennifer is incredibly helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure both baby and parents feel comfortable and supported. She is consistently communicative, keeping me updated throughout the day and always making herself available for questions or check-ins. Most importantly, she is someone I completely trust, something that is priceless when it comes to your child. Knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for has given me such peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she provides every single day.

🌿 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!
