Megan S., Babysitter in Somerville, NJ 08876 with 8 years of paid experience

As an Elementary School Teacher off for the summer, I am looking to assist families in need of summertime help with their children. I have taught in a first, second, third, fourth and fifth grade classrooms. Additionally, I have experience in grades 1-7. I have also worked in an aftercare program with children grades K-4. For the past seven Summers, I have worked babysitting or nannying families. I’ve watched grade school children as well as young children, ages ranging from 6 months old to 3 years old. I enjoy playing games, outdoor activities and completing fun crafts. I also like to read books with children and tell stories. I've had amazing times spending my summer breaks babysitting/nannying and would love to continue this summer! Please let me know if I can answer any questions not answered by my profile. Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!

Ayesha watched our 1-yr old daughter in our hotel room while we were traveling from out-of-town for a wedding. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with - which really helped boost our confidence in booking a babysitter in another town. She even brought extra toys with her to entertain our daughter - which was very much appreciated! We certainly recommend Ayesha!

We had a great experience with Jayti, who cared for our two children for a full week. She was reliable, punctual, and handled daily responsibilities smoothly, including picking them up from school, preparing meals, and getting them ready for bed each evening. She was calm, attentive, and engaging with the kids, which helped them feel comfortable and well cared for right away. Communication was clear and consistent, and we always felt confident that our children were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and we are looking forward to working with her again.

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care.

Miranda R., Babysitter in Somerville, NJ 08876 with 25 years of paid experience

I have 25 years of experience with mainly newborns - 5 years old with an occasional older sibling. I have experience with infant/toddler twins. I am currently looking for a part time position with an infant or toddler. My current position is ending April 29th since the family is moving. I started when the little guy who 5 months old and have been with them just over 2 years. I'd like to work with a family who wants their kids to get outside and explore with me, and not be tied to a tablet all day long. Do arts and crafts at an age appropriate level and read books. In previous jobs, I've taken children to the library, zoos, aquariums, various mommy and me programs, and indoor playgrounds. I am CPR certified, smoke free, and comfortable around dogs and cats. I'd love to chat and see if I'd be a good match for your family.
