Find experienced babysitters in Paterson, NJ

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 8am-6pm weekdays. I am available for a weekend on occasion or special events when discussed in advance. 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. I am a developmental specialist who is blessed to work remotely with the DOH while being a career nanny over the last 20 years. I have extensive experience with premature infants-8yr olds. Both typical & neuro divergent 🌈and have worked with families of all different cultures/beliefs. 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, social, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety & FUN 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- And Enjoy every moment. Your child will never be the age that they are today & those small moments are precious 💎. Don’t compare them to other children & always notice their strengths 💪 for there is only one of them ❤️❤️ 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will at times accompany 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.

My name is Jenny, and there are 2 things I love in this world the most - children and music! I am an opera singer, mom and music teacher, and have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old for neighborhood families, and then supported myself through college and graduate school with part time nanny positions. I also teach young kids to sing and play the piano. I am very responsible, caring and encouraging. I've raised 3 babies of my own who are school age now, and I have more free time. I'd love to be a part of your family's life!

Hello! My name is Lina and I look forward to working with you! I have 3 years of babysitting experience, and I live in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. I’m accessible to pretty much all subway lines for travel. I’ve been around children for most of my life since my mother was a babysitter/nanny for 20+ years. I’m also a mother to an adorable 3 year old. I consider myself a kind, reliable, responsible, and attentive individual. I’m currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as I have a passion for working with children. I’m bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I'm also CPR, First Aid & AED certified. I’m available for occasional evening/date night opportunities. Thank you!

Hello! I am looking for a full time position as I transition from working for the Department of Education. I am enrolled in remote classes at The City College of New York, working on my Bilingual Childhood Education BA. I have a very friendly, welcoming, and nurturing personality. I am an older sister, we have an 9 year gap which, of course, deemed me her personal (un)official babysitter. I also have both professional and personal experience with infants. I also lived with a close family and was closely involved in caring for her twin infants during their first 18 months, supporting and implementing routines and development. I am comfortable and connect with all ages. I love parks, museums, and anything outdoors! I am open to answer any questions so we can get to know each other further.

I’m an experienced childcare professional who has babysat for many families over the years, caring for children from newborns and infants through school age. Because I’ve worked with so many different families and age groups, I’m comfortable stepping into a new household, learning a family’s routines and expectations, and building rapport with children quickly. I previously worked for a babysitting agency providing childcare for families both in their homes and at hotels. This gave me experience working with families I was often meeting for the first time and helped me become very adaptable and confident helping children feel comfortable with a new caregiver. I understand that parents may be leaving their child with someone new, so I make communication, safety, and helping both the child and parents feel at ease a priority. Many of my babysitting relationships have also developed naturally through my professional childcare positions. While working as an after-school educator and coach, several families whose children I worked with began hiring me privately for babysitting. The same happened while I worked at an infant center caring for babies ages 6 weeks to 15 months. I really value that families who saw how I interacted with and cared for their children trusted me to continue caring for them outside of those settings. My broader childcare experience includes working as a full-time nanny, infant teacher, baby nurse at a postpartum resort, ABA therapist, special needs camp counselor, and after-school educator and coach. This has given me experience with everything from feeding, bottles, diapering, soothing, naps, and bedtime routines to play, homework help, outings, and caring for multiple children. I am also EMT certified and previously served for six years as a medic in the U.S. Army. My medical background has provided extensive training in first aid, emergency response, and safety. I’m warm, patient, dependable, and very hands-on with children. One of my strengths is being able to build rapport quickly, which is especially important when babysitting children who may not know me yet. I want children to feel safe and comfortable with me while also having fun, whether we’re playing, reading, doing an activity, or simply following their normal evening routine.

A bit about myself: I graduated from CUNY Lehman College. I am getting my master's at Teachers College in Early Childhood Education. I am bilingual- English & Spanish. I have 5 years of experience working with age groups of 6 months to 13 years old. I was a Student Teacher/ Mentor Leader for children in Pre, K, Elementary, and Middle school children in NY Public Schools (Manhattan Borough). I've worked at P.S. 188 The Island School, P.S. 142 Amalia Castro, and P.S. 033 Chelsea Prep. In my free time, I mentor young children in non-profit organizations such as the “I Have A Dream” Foundation and Educational Alliance. Fun fact about me: I joined the IHDF program as a middle school student growing up and this is my way of paying it forward. I am a Dreamer Alumni and I participate on their Alumni Council in the communications committee. I also volunteer as their Social Media Manager. I have experience in Higher Education as well. I really enjoy building lasting relationships and helping children of all ages grow academically and socially. I strongly value student engagement and providing valuable resources. I’ve done 3 years of private babysitting and tutoring in the Upper West Side and Upper East Side for all ages. I was born and raised in the Upper West Side. I worked at Columbia University as a Department Secretary and Admin coordinator. I would be happy to provide my full resume, Linkedin profile, personal and professional references.

I am a mom to older boys who is kind and compassionate for babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. I have been in childcare for over 10 years with so many success stories to tell. Some of the kids I have worked with are in Colleges and some are working the world over. I am so great around kids and they love me naturally.

🌿 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!

I provide Infant/Baby Care. I am an experienced babysitter, having worked with infants, babies and toddlers. My expertise is in child care. Much of my experience has been working at in-home babysitting and child care centers. Prior to that, I worked in elementary schools. I am certified and will be happy to provide you with certifications and references from previous families. I am available for work on a part-time, or as-needed basis. Thank You. Sincerely, Elena

Hi, I'm Seun! Fair warning — if you hire me, there's a good chance your kitchen may become a culinary lab. We once recreated edible dirt using crushed Oreos and gummy worms, and it was a hit. I've been working with children since high school and have loved every moment of it. I believe kids see the world with a curiosity and wonder that is truly special, and I feel privileged to play a role in their growth into their own autonomous selves. This work has taught me the rewards of being present, the value of play, and the power of creativity — lessons I carry with me every day. I believe the best moments with children happen when you lean into their interest, and I've built my entire approach around that idea. I've been working with children since high school — starting with families of teachers and growing through word-of-mouth ever since. I'm experienced with toddlers through preteens, comfortable with multiples, and tend to build long-term relationships with the families I work with. Day-to-day I can help with morning and nighttime routines, meal prep, homework, driving to activities, and keeping kids engaged with screen-free games, outdoor play, and playdates. I'm currently in medical school on a scholar's Year for research, which means I bring a clinical understanding of child safety, health, and development to every family I work with — and I have genuine flexibility in my schedule for the foreseeable year. I also volunteer as a tutor supporting students from elementary school through the college application process. I'm available to start immediately and would love to meet your family. Feel free to reach out!
