Clarita S., Babysitter in Perth Amboy, NJ 08861 with 5 years of paid experience

🌿 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!
