Hello! My name is Jilitia Wallen, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages from infants and toddlers to preschool and elementary-aged kids. I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can thrive, learn, and have fun. I bring a calm, patient attitude, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of developmental milestones. Whether it's bottle feeding an infant, guiding a toddler through potty training, or helping with homework after school, I’m confident in my ability to support both the children and their families in meaningful ways. I'm excited to bring my experience, reliability, and warm personality to a new family!

Hi, I’m Mel! 👋🏼 I’m currently looking for long-term nanny or babysitting positions within 8 miles of Linden (excluding Staten Island). I’m seeking a consistent schedule that totals at least $400/week. If you’re interested, please reach out at least ONE month in advance so my current family has time to find a new caregiver. 😊 ABOUT ME: • 28 years old • Certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR + First Aid + AED through New Life CPR • Fluent in Portuguese, conversational in Spanish • Reliable, punctual, creative, and communicative • Passionate about creating enriching, memorable experiences for kids • Big fan of arts & crafts, science experiments, and puppet shows! 🧸 Experience: • Mostly with ages 2–7, some experience with infants and as a mom helper • Experience with 3 sets of twins • Over 7 years of driving children to/from school, events, and errands • Currently caring for twin 5-year-olds for 4.5 years 💰 RATES: 💡 Minimum commitment: At least $400/week (applies to part-time hours).

Since I’m currently employed, I ask that families reach out only if they are genuinely interested and considering moving forward. I kindly request at least one month’s notice before leaving my current family so they have time to find a new caregiver. • If you’d like to run a background or vehicle check, that’s totally fine! However, please note that the cost is the responsibility of the family. These checks are only valid for a limited time, and as a caregiver, I can’t be expected to purchase a new one every few months for each potential job.

Clarita S., Babysitter in Madison, NJ 07940 with 2 years of paid experience

I am originally from the beautiful island of St.Lucia , and I enjoy visiting whenever the time allows. I enjoy the great outdoors, working in my garden and planting new plants and seeds; personally I believe it is important to take advantage of the fresh air. I have two children who have recently graduated from college. I am also a creative person, this led me to attend Penn Foster to pursue a certification in Child Development, although I had to defer due to personal reasons. However, as a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. Most recently, I have cared for a 4 year old which included watching him and preparing minor snacks/light housekeeping. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! I am currently looking for jobs within the areas of Maplewood,South Orange, and Union vicinity.
