I’m a certified teacher with a Master’s degree and five years of classroom experience teaching grades 3–8, along with substitute teaching across grade levels. I bring my educational background into childcare through calm, nurturing care that balances structure, play, learning, creativity, and plenty of room for children to be themselves. I’m a mom to a 5-year-old son starting kindergarten this fall and a 2-year-old daughter. For weekday daytime care, my daughter would accompany me. I offer childcare, academic support, and enrichment, including reading intervention, writing support, homework help, and hands-on learning tailored to each child’s interests and learning style. I love reading, outdoor play, music, crafts, imaginative play, nature exploration, and discovering new things alongside children. I’m dependable, have reliable transportation, am comfortable with light childcare-related housekeeping, and references are available upon request.

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

Lisa is an amazing babysitter. She took care of my 17-month-old daughter in Princeton, NJ, at our hotel for nine hours while I attended business meetings nearby. From the very beginning, she communicated clearly, was proactive, and arrived right on time. I loved how she built a genuine connection with my child within the first few minutes of meeting her. Her approach is thoughtful and confident, and her frequent updates throughout the day gave me complete peace of mind. I felt entirely at ease knowing my daughter was in reliable, caring hands. Lisa is incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. Thank you again, Lisa — when we’re back in Princeton for work, I’ll definitely reach out!

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.
