My experience spans several years in various childcare settings, where I have developed a deep understanding of child development and a knack for creating engaging, nurturing environments that promote learning and growth. What sets me apart from others is my genuine passion for helping children reach their full potential, my patience, and my ability to connect with each child on a personal level.

Hi! My name is Jacquelyn Gualpa. I am a 24-year-old college graduate who double majored in Communications and English. I hope to find a loving family and give your kids a memorable day. I have my own car and I have multiple years of experience in childcare. Not only have I taken a RedCross certification course to take care of my baby cousins, but I have also worked at a gym where I took care of children ages 1-12. Additionally, I was also a youth leader at The Institute of Music for Children in Elizabeth, NJ for three years. While there, I was responsible for the well- being and happiness of children ages 5-15. Your furry friends are welcome to have a blast with us! I worked at a PetSmart for three years making sure all of the animals in the store were well taken care of. I love animals and have gained a lot of knowledge about them. It’s always a pleasure to meet your furry and/or scaly friends, and I'm more than happy to tend to them. I enjoy bringing a happy, optimistic, and creative atmosphere to everyone I meet and believe this is especially important for kids. I'd love to have the opportunity to help out your family this season. Languages: •English (fluent) •Spanish (fluent) Thank You!

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!

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. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.

Esmina O., Babysitter in South Plainfield, NJ 07080 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! My name is Esmina! I have over 7 years of experience in professional care plus a little over 5 years of my own as I have a beautiful daughter who just turn 5 in April. Before having my daughter, I was a mother’s helper to an awesome family in Long Island, NY. My position was a mix of everything! I picked up the kids from school, drove them to doctors appointments, play dates and extracurricular activities. I ran errands such as pharmacy trips and grocery shopping. I took the kids from the time they got home from school until bedtime as we had a solid bedtime routine. Laundry was done, folded and put away at least 2x per week as well. I love to cook so I made the family dinner every night and the kids loved it when I cooked! They also became interested and wanted to help me 😊. I enjoy what I do and love being around children… when you’re a parent they become your whole world. The mama bear instincts are there and I would care for yours as if they were mine! Look forward to meeting you!

Clarita S., Babysitter in South Plainfield, NJ 07080 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!
