Joanna R., Babysitter in Spotswood, NJ 08884 with 10 years of paid experience

Professional Educator & Care Provider | Academic Support, Enrichment & Reliable Childcare I’m a certified teacher with a Master’s degree and five years of classroom experience (grades 3–8), along with substitute teaching across grade levels. I specialize in calm, engaging, developmentally supportive care that blends structure, learning, and play. I’m a homeschooling mom to my 5-year-old son (who will start kindergarten this fall) and my 2-year-old daughter. For weekday daytime care, my daughter would accompany me. I offer childcare and academic support, including reading intervention, writing help, homework support, and enrichment for elementary and middle school students. Activities I enjoy with children include reading, outdoor play, crafts, imaginative play, and hands-on learning tailored to each child’s interests. I have reliable transportation, am comfortable with light childcare-related housekeeping, and references are available upon request.

Alexandra W., Babysitter in Spotswood, NJ 08884 with 2 years of paid experience

I always loved working with children from a young age. Before I was old enough to babysit I was a mothers helper to learn all that involved with caring for a child. I have babysat dozens of families and still continue to. I started small in my community and from glowing references I expanded outside my community. Not only do I love to babysit and nanny, I also love to teach children. I gained a lot of babysitting opportunities through my tutoring. I am CPR certified and First Aid. I used to be a life guard so I am qualified to watch children in the water.

Alex has truly been amazing with our 2 boys! She babysat for us for date nights most of the summer, we will miss her very much when she goes back to school. The boys absolutely love her and are always very excited when she comes to babysit. She is organized, very sweet, always cleans up after them and outs everything away, is very good with the schedule we provide, punctual, respectful and overall one of the best babysitters we have ever had. We cannot wait for her return from school next summer.

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.

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.
