*I am no longer able to commit to long or short term babysitting. *I am available for occasional babysitting and arranged babysitting day by day. Hello families, I have worked with children from infants to 16 years of age for over 15 years. I currently work with children with delays and special needs in Early Intervention and other agencies for the past 10 years. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Traveling, walking, hiking, reading, swimming, and being outdoors with family and friends are what I really enjoy doing in my free time. *Allergic to cats

Hi, I’m Mel! I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny or babysitting position and will be available to start with one month’s notice. I’m based near Linden and open to positions within about 8 miles (excluding Staten Island). I’m 29, CPR/First Aid certified, and have over 13 years of experience in babysitting and nannying. My experience includes caring for infants, working as a mother’s helper, and caring for multiple children (in daycares as well), including twins. I’m very comfortable with energetic kids and enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment through activities like arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. I’m reliable, punctual, and naturally attentive, and I take pride in making both children and parents feel supported and at ease. My rate starts at $24/hour and increases by $1 for each additional child. I offer paid trial days at $23/hour. References are available upon request. I do require a one-month notice before transitioning to a new position, to ensure the family I’m currently working with has enough time to find a replacement caregiver. I’m available for video, phone, or in-person interviews. Looking forward to connecting!

Mel has worked with my now 3 year old for a few months. My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and Mel did a terrific job with making her feel more comfortable. I highly recommend Mel and will definitely call her again down the line if I need her help.

I am a 2023 graduate from Rutgers School of Engineering where I studied biomedical engineering. I was raised in an African home where kids were always running around and as the oldest it was my duty to take care of them, even from a young age. Working with kids has always come naturally to me and child development has always been an interest of mine. I am looking for a long term position with consistent hours (I am okay with a flexible schedule). I have been on Sitter City since 2020 and have worked in many different kinds of families. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, as well as children K-12 at a total of 5 long term positions. I have worked with children with learning disabilities and families with multiple children (up to 3). I have also worked as an art teacher at my local gallery for classes of up to 20 students ages 5-13. My services include the following: - Cooking (simple meal prep to full meals) - Cleaning (light clean up, organization, laundry) - Assisting with homework afterschool - Engaging in fun activities (arts & crafts, sports, music) - Driving (school pickup / driving to and from activities) - Early childhood development (reading, potty training, tummy time, etc) - Infant care (changing diapers, making/feeding bottle, burping, etc.) I am comfortable with pets (I have a 5 year old pomsky at home) and I have my own car ( a 2021 Nissan Sentra with full safety features). I am a non smoked, vaccinated & boosted for COVID-19, and I am CPR certified and trained in First Aid. I hope to be a good fit for you and your family and I hope to hear from you soon help your kids with homework, and even sing them lullabies. I am also comfortable with pets (I have a pomsky at home). I own my own car, am comfortable driving with children, am a nonsmoker, COVID 19 vaccinated (and boosted), as well as CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you and your family and hear back from you soon!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! She has been with our family for the past two years and has been an incredible caregiver to our boys. She is kind, loving, dependable, and truly cares about them. She keeps them active, engaged, and always on the go—whether it’s trips to the park, sports, music classes, playdates, or other fun adventures. She drives them wherever they need to go and is always keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind especially for two working parents! Sandy has had such a positive impact on our youngest, who is now 2½. Thanks to her, he speaks and understands so much Spanish! More than anything, she has built such a genuine, loving relationship with both of our boys and treats them as if they were her own. They adore her! Any family would be lucky to have her!

Zariah is very patient and was always engaged in learning activities with my child. She's personable and was great with decision making without me stepping in. She's hands-on and handled emotional tantrums with care and ease. My child looked forward to the days she would be at our home.
