Hello Families, My name is Londyn and I am full time nanny (during the weekdays) and a student studying Pediatric Nuclear Medicine. I have been in childcare for 20+ years and am well versed in behavioral, mental, and physical milestones. I have experience with all ages, including newborns, and am first aid and CPR certified. I am a caring and nurturing person, and children have always felt comfortable near me. I have worked with children with behavioral issues, slower developmental development, as well as children with Autism and Downs Syndrome. For the family I currently work with, I do meal prep for the parents for the week, laundry, run errands, and all tasks involving the children (cooking their dinners, preparing their lunches, homework help, driving them around, etc.). I truly love being a nanny/sitter and working with children of all ages.

Brielle D., Child Care in Dover, NJ 07801 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Brielle. I have experience babysitting for a family of 3 children, ages 4 - 10 and for a family of 2 children, ages 5 and 7. I babysat for the first family for around two years and the second family for the entirety of last school year. I'd supervise the kids, help with homework, play games like hide and seek, and break up any fights the kids would have. Additionally, I was a camp counselor last summer where I was in charge of supervising a group of 2nd graders. I like working with kids because I have a lot more fun doing that than working a job in retail. Whether your kids want to play an active game outdoors or a board game inside, I'm happy to participate! I also have a black lab and four love birds at home so I love pets!

Hi! My name is Jennifer Casey. I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree in education and have been teaching for 9 years. I have had the opportunity to babysit for families from birth until the children were old enough to drive. I have recently been able to witness my first kid (now grown up) get married this past July! I look forward to hearing from you and working with your child/ren. When babysitting, I enjoy being interactive with the children whether that’s taking them outside in the backyard or to a nearby park, making arts and crafts for an upcoming holiday or simply just reading.

We hired Micah as an occasional babysitter for our 2 year old daughter. We appreciate her prompt replies when we ask for help, and she is kind and playful with our child! She has a calm and trustworthy demeanor. We haven't needed the extra help lately, but when we do, she is on our list of sitters to call!
