Hello! I'm Lisa. The holidays are coming and so is school break!, Do you need a babysitter and child care? Having lots of experience with children of all ages, I would love to chat with you as I feel I'm a great candidate! Here's a little of my background... I'm a special education paraprofessional in the Jackson school district for 16 years and back to living here, too. I babysit for local as well as out of state families who come for weddings and other special occasions. I have also worked in the district's child care program for many years, including summers with ages prek-5th grade. When Covid struck our world, I began babysitting a family of three, ages 18 months-7 years old. More recently this past summer, I was a mother's helper w twins, almost age two and I've continued helping with them for week night date nights, weekends as well as school closings. During the day, I work in the school as a para then the child care program. My years of experience show an exceptional capability of working and playing with children while they're having fun and safe! Feel free to contact me to discuss me helping with your care needs. I've got plenty of references too! Stay well and speak with you soon! Lisa

Joanna R., Babysitter in South River, NJ 08882 with 10 years of paid experience

I'm a certified teacher with a Master's degree and five years of classroom experience (grades 3-8), plus substitute teaching across grade levels and subjects. I'm currently a homeschooling mom to my 5-year-old and caring for my 21-month-old. I offer reliable evening, weekend, and occasional weekday morning care. I have extensive experience supporting children from newborns through high school and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids doing what they love - reading stories, building with blocks or Legos, exploring outside, making crafts, singing songs, dancing, or diving into imaginative play. I aim to create a calm, warm, and joyful environment where children feel seen, heard, and cared for. I also offer academic tutoring, including reading intervention, writing support, homework help, and enrichment for elementary and middle school students. I'm comfortable helping out with pets and have my own car. My references are happy to share their experiences!

Melissa G., Babysitter in South River, NJ 08882 with 13 years of paid experience

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, 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 $2 for each additional child. If driving is required, gas reimbursement is expected. 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!
