Hi Families! My name is Jo, and I have over 15 years of experience in childcare for all ages.

Hi! I am a student at Caldwell University. I am a playful, funny and caring- but also a hard worker who will be dedicated to the children's well being. I worked as a babysitter all throughout high school. I work well with younger children and infants as well as all different types of pets. I worked as a sitter for multiple families in Hoboken throughout high school. While working in Hoboken, I did things such as housekeeping, meal prep, dishes, kids wash, etc. in order to help out around the house. While attending college I worked with families in Chatham, Livingston and Nutley. In addition, I do have a car to take the children to appointments or activities if needed. I am also fully vaccinated.

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 7am-5/6pm M-Th. Friday mornings and an occasional evening for date nights, as nights and weekends is dedicated to my child/family. A little about me. My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.

Hi parents! I’ve been babysitting and nannying for 10 years and truly love what I do. I first started in college after connecting with local parents through my daycare position - and I’ve been lucky to build lasting relationships with many amazing families ever since. While I’m originally from New Jersey and have worked with families across my community there, I’ve recently moved to Manhattan and I’m excited to connect with new families here! Over the years, I’ve done everything from short-term babysitting and long-term nannying to being a go-to sitter for regular date nights. I have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and feel especially comfortable with bedtime routines, story time, and light dinner prep. I especially enjoy weekend sitting and date nights (my personal specialty!). I’m also happy to help with weekday evening coverage if parents need time to run errands or take a breather. I’m CPR certified and infant first-aid certified, and I have experience caring for children with allergies, including administering EpiPens. Lastly but certainly not least, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative - I always keep parents well informed about my availability. I know how important it is to have a reliable person watch over your little ones and will always do my best to avoid last minute cancellations. References available upon request - I’d love to get to know your family!

Hello!! I am a 38 year old girl, Venezolana by profession Lawyer, I speak Spanish, I am responsible, honest, kind, cheerful, funny. I have worked as a nanny while studying in my country, also help with the children of my house, both cousins and my nephew. I can help them with their tasks, take them to their activities, playdates, teach them if they are interested in learning Spanish, orient them in the organization and responsibilities in their activities, besides I can help to maintain the order, to clean. Apply to caregiver because besides I like children, I think it is necessary that there is someone who really cares about them and wants to help them, who can provide security and if necessary help them to solve their needs while their parents are busy and A plus for parents and their schedules. I started as a nurse when I started the university, besides I wanted to acquire money by my own means, it was a job that helped me not to dwell on my tasks.
