Laila was great with our kids. She is a mother herself which brings lots of reassurances and focuses on what the kids need and what the parents would like from a routine standpoint.

Although we ended up canceling due to a family member being available to watch our little one… Maya was very responsive and we felt confident. She provided everything we needed prior and communicated very promptly.

Hello Families, My name is Londyn and I am full time nanny (during the weekdays) and a student studying Pediatric Nuclear Medicine. I have been in childcare for 20+ years and am well versed in behavioral, mental, and physical milestones. I have experience with all ages, including newborns, and am first aid and CPR certified. I am a caring and nurturing person, and children have always felt comfortable near me. I have worked with children with behavioral issues, slower developmental development, as well as children with Autism and Downs Syndrome. For the family I currently work with, I do meal prep for the parents for the week, laundry, run errands, and all tasks involving the children (cooking their dinners, preparing their lunches, homework help, driving them around, etc.). I truly love being a nanny/sitter and working with children of all ages.

We are from out of town and needed a sitter while we attended a wedding. Courtney was awesome-our kiddos really enjoyed her, she was communicative and flexible when our schedule didn’t go to plan. We would highly recommend her!

Jennifer C., Babysitter in Rockaway, NJ 07866 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jennifer Casey. I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree in education and have been teaching for 9 years. I have had the opportunity to babysit for families from birth until the children were old enough to drive. I have recently been able to witness my first kid (now grown up) get married this past July! I look forward to hearing from you and working with your child/ren. When babysitting, I enjoy being interactive with the children whether that’s taking them outside in the backyard or to a nearby park, making arts and crafts for an upcoming holiday or simply just reading.

I can’t recommend Jennifer’s childcare service enough. From the time my daughter was a newborn through 6 months old, she has been in the most caring and capable hands. Jennifer is incredibly helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure both baby and parents feel comfortable and supported. She is consistently communicative, keeping me updated throughout the day and always making herself available for questions or check-ins. Most importantly, she is someone I completely trust, something that is priceless when it comes to your child. Knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for has given me such peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she provides every single day.

Christina B., Babysitter in Rockaway, NJ 07866 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Christina. It's wonderful to "meet" you! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Millersville University of Pennsylvania and a Master's degree in Education Technology. I have also been a Red Cross lifeguard, so I have had my CPR and First Aid certifications in the past. I was working as a third grade teacher for about 9 school years and now I am an elementary school librarian for grades PREK-5th! I have several references from babysitting and teaching and background checks from the state of NJ. I am currently looking for part-time (scheduled or occasional) night or weekend babysitting hours. I have been working with children all my life through teaching, tutoring, coaching cheerleading and swimming, church school, nursery care, after school programs and work experiences. I love spending time with children and seeing them discover, play and learn. Please feel free to reach out to me if you think we will be a great fit!

Brooke C., Babysitter in Rockaway, NJ 07866 with 10 years of paid experience

With over 7 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, I bring both deep knowledge and genuine passion to the care and development of every child I work with. I spent 4 years as an infant caregiver, where I developed a strong foundation in nurturing, safety, and early developmental milestones. Currently, I am a preschool teacher in Mt. Lakes, where I create a warm, engaging environment that supports social, emotional, and academic growth. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Child and Family Studies and am continuing my education at Rutgers University this fall to pursue a degree in Childhood Studies. My long-term goal is to become a licensed Occupational Therapist, specializing in helping children thrive in every aspect of their development. I am deeply committed to supporting families by providing reliable, thoughtful, and developmentally informed care. Whether I’m rocking a baby to sleep or helping a preschooler navigate new challenges, I approach each moment with patience, purpose, and heart.
