My name is Yasmin. Responsibility and kindness are my most defining qualities. I come from a large family and helped raise many of my nieces and nephews from their birth. I can understand, with you as the parent, the need to feel safe and secure with your children's baby sitter. So you can thoroughly enjoy your night out. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, even if that means having to clean a dirty diaper or two. When I'm together with your children, firstly, I will follow your instructions to the letter and, if I have any questions, we will use our pre-arranged contact plan. I am happy to keep your children's playtime active; toys, coloring, games, story-telling, television (if they are allowed to watch), listening to music, and, most importantly, letting them guide our activities. Seeing a child go to bed with a smile on their face really warms my heart. I have knowledge about development milestones. Also, I am available to give Spanish lessons in person or virtual. Thank you for considering me as your next babysitter.

I have fewer personal experiences. I have two little brothers one whom is 13 yrs old and the other whom is 18 yrs old now. I also have a 7 yr old nephew who lives with me. I have been watching over them when needed by my parents. I’m very familiar with infants, toddlers and big kids due to the fact that I’ve seen my brothers grow, I’ve changed their diapers, I’ve fed them, watched over them, entertained them, helped them when needed throughout the years. I also have work experience at Little Learners in Hackensack working with children from infants to 5 years old. I currently work as a nurse at st Clare’s hospital . I am also a student pursuing my bachelor’s in nursing. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Hi Families! My name is Jo, and I have over 15 years of experience in childcare for all ages. My past experiences have been with wonderful families who have welcomed me as an addition to their family. I took excellent care of the children and completed all the duties the position required on time. I consider myself a very reliable, trustworthy, honest, patient, and punctual person who puts a hundred percent into whatever the job requirements are. 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. I enjoy keeping your child happy at all times as that is an important factor to me as well as safety and wellbeing which I prioritize. Being an addition to your family is not just a job for me, it is my passion in childcare.

Hi! My name is Janetha Polo, and I’m a 21-year-old college student majoring in Food and Nutrition Science. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Development and have worked in a preschool classroom setting since my freshman year of high school. This experience has given me a deep understanding of child development, safety, and age-appropriate learning and play. I have a valid driver’s license, can cook healthy and kid-friendly meals, and have completed a SafeServ certification to ensure safe food handling. While my CPR certification has expired, I have previously been trained and am planning to renew it soon. I’m dependable, caring, and love creating a fun, safe environment for kids to grow and thrive.

Hi! I'm a TV News Producer and mom to two princess-loving toddlers. I stepped away from the TV industry last year to focus on raising my girls (and to finally ditch that Manhattan commute)! I’m a mom so I know how important it is to find the right person you can trust and rely on to care for your children. I take that responsibility seriously and will always make thoughtful, smart, and quick decisions to ensure your little ones are safe, happy, and thriving. I am also an extension of you... so my style of childcare will mirror the way you choose you raise your little ones and I am here for support and to provide a helping hand... that all of us mamas need from time to time. About me: I grew up in Fair Lawn and now live in Hawthorne with my husband and daughters, where we love being a part of the Hawthorne community. My nurturing nature and desire to help other families has carried with me through more than 20 years of consistent childcare experience. Overnight infant care is my specialty. Running a newsroom also helped my organizational and management skills shine… and I can plan a birthday party or major event in my sleep!! Since I’m not working in the industry right now, my availability is wide open to help families in need of a helping hand. I have certifications in newborn and infant childcare and I do have all background checks completed on here. The background checks expire every 90 days so let me know if you’d like a copy and I will gladly provide along with wonderful references and my professional resume!! I also made my Instagram (@carasayssmile) public so PLEASE feel free to dig deeper into my life beyond these four paragraphs!
