We are so lucky to have Laila care for our 3-month-old baby girl! She is very warm and kind. She was able to quickly soothe my baby and help her fall asleep for a nap. Our baby felt so safe and comfortable sleeping in her arms. It's obvious that Laila is highly experienced with infants. She is truly an amazing nanny, and I highly recommend her!

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!!

Personally I am a very friendly person and a college student. Currently enrolling to become a nurse I like to take care of people and mostly kids being a older sister I have the patience and understand single moms and married couples with needing help for their loved ones. I will do the work of babysitting just because its something I like to do. I understand the economy is down and most families will not be able to pay high but I will be negotiable and understand. I would like to help for weekend babsitting and help families out.

Lizzy was very responsive to us and very kind to our boy. She made sure there was everything to know about our 22 month old and she delivered on her promise of taking care of him. Sadly this was a one time thing since we are not from NJ. If otherwise I would definitely hire her as our regular nanny. Hopefully next time we visit NJ she’ll be around.

Hi! My name is Jayden, and I’m a dedicated childcare professional graduating this spring with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology at Mercy University. I will be attending Seton Hall University for my Masters of Arts in School Counseling, this Fall. I’ve always been passionate about child development, and my academic background in Social & Behavioral Sciences, along with hands-on experience across a range of educational and therapeutic settings, allows me to support children’s unique needs in a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages—from Pre-K through middle school—in a variety of roles. I currently serve as a Teacher’s Aide for children in grades 3-5 in the Scarsdale School District, specifically in a special education ABA setting within a public elementary school, and I also have worked part-time as an ABA Behavioral Technician, where I support children on the autism spectrum with individualized behavior and communication plans. My previous experience includes roles in special education classrooms, after-school childcare programs, day camps, and mental health internship settings. I’m certified in Autism Education, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention, and Pediatric CPR/First Aid through Heartsaver. Whether I’m leading an arts and crafts activity, supporting emotional regulation, or helping with homework and daily routines, I approach every interaction with patience, empathy, and positivity. I’m particularly experienced in working with children who have IEPs or behavior intervention plans, and I believe in building trust with both kids and parents to ensure the best care possible. I bring structure, creativity, and a deep respect for each child’s individuality. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about kids, I’d love to meet your family!

What a pleasure it was meeting Jayden and working with him! He was super communicative/responsive/generous throughout the hiring process, even when I requested an interview and references! He was very responsible (arrived 45 minutes early and stayed an hour late!). We were coming in from out of town for a wedding, and Jayden jumped right into the fray with my infant (5 week old), 2.5 year old and almost four year old. He was there with my parents; sometimes caregivers in this situation do not know how to be helpful and just sit around waiting to be told what to do- not Jayden! He was warm, friendly, took initiative, took suggestions well, and stepped up effortlessly when my kiddos were having trouble following directions. He changed diapers, played well, and helped with meal prep/clean up. We look forward to working with him again soon!

I have been working with children since I was 16 years old from ages 4 months- 12 years old. I grew up as one of the oldest to many cousins and loved going to work with my mother who was a teacher, which is where my passion started. I started babysitting at 16 and have been working in childcare programs since 2019. I started at a daycare in 2019 working with children from age 5 months to 13 years old. I worked at a special needs pre-K for two years and I am now working as a prek teacher’s assistant in an elementary school. I have also part-time worked with a 19-year-old with Rhett syndrome. I enjoy providing engaging activities where children can also learn through play! I have my CPR and first aid certificate. I’m looking for a full-time position and would be available to start mid June. I am looking forward to speaking to you!!
