Djane M., Child Care in East Rutherford, NJ 07073 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi Parents, My name is Djane. I have experience caring for both infants and toddlers, and I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and easygoing. I bring a positive and energetic attitude to my work, and I value creating a calm, nurturing space where children feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Being around kids genuinely brings me joy. I love planning fun and age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, going to the park, and encouraging curiosity through play and exploration. I’m also very comfortable with pets and have no restrictions or allergies. I’m looking for a family where I can build a strong, trusting relationship and become a reliable and supportive presence in your daily routine.

Djane worked full time for us watching our 1 year old son. She was very caring and listened to what our family needed and integrated into his routine smoothly. She took him out, made playdates, and kept our house organized by putting things away and cleaning up during naptime. I'd highly recommend her.

From the first meeting with Monae, I knew she would look after our daughter well. Leah gets so excited when Monae arrives, which makes me so happy knowing she loves her company. Hearing Monae sing and play with Leah is the loveliest thing. I’m not sure what I’d do without her!

Lauren P., Child Care in East Rutherford, NJ 07073 with 18 years of paid experience

Its been a long pandemic, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am your weekend backup to help you reset after a long week of being a superhero aka parent. I began working with children at the age of 15. I was a Counselor in Training at a sleep away camp. The following two years I worked as a Camp Counselor at the same camp. I began babysitting at the age of 18. I have worked with multiple families with multiple children. I currently work at a Dance Studio as the manager and instructor. The Dance Studio mostly caters to children between the ages of 2 through 14. I am currently certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both Adult and Pediatric. My experience makes me qualified but my personality is why I have such a great relationship with the kids. Babysitting has always been fun for me. Children are true little sponges that soak up everything. The things they say or do always manage to make my day brighter. Being younger allows me to truly enjoy my time with families. I love to go outside with kids play a little soccer, baseball, or basketball. Kids always love that I can teach them some dance moves. Although usually most kids just prefer me to read to them. I try to give every character in a book their own voice. I haven't had a bad experience sitting. The occasional meltdown is expected and I'm prepared to handle whatever is thrown mine way. References, a resume and a professional background check are available upon request.

Lauren helped us out babysitting last minute when we were visiting NYC and was AMAZING! She was easy to communicate with, understanding, and most importantly, wonderful with our child. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Amanda N., Child Care in East Rutherford, NJ 07073 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. Note: I am currently available to provide childcare on Halloween, Indigenous Peoples Day, Veterans Day, and Christmas break My name is Amanda! I am a currently a freelance pet sitter, and babysitter of 10 plus years. As a New York Native I know how to navigate through the MTA system and the neighborhoods of each borough. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and a non-smoker. I am currently available to provide care on school holidays, school breaks, weekends, and weekday evenings after 7 pm. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Caring for children is a passion I will continue for as long as I can. I love getting to know children, watching them grow, and supporting their important milestones. Along with my childcare experience, I have 10 years of experience working as a pet sitter. My dream is to open a pet care, and babysitting company. Why not both! I have been caring for children since the age of 12. I started babysitting my younger brother at a young age, as I grew older I transitioned into caring for my younger cousins, and working as a babysitter/nanny. In addition, I have experience caring for children with ADHD, ADD, & Anxiety. Since 2019, I have worked with Camp Shiloh as a Counselor in Training, Mentor, and Volunteer. I was also a Camper there for several years as a kid, and it’s one of my the few places I call home. A fun fact about me, I love Harry Potter, and comic books. Some of the fun things I love to do with children are making art, building blocks, engaging in activities around the city, read books, dancing, baking, playing board games, going to parks, playing sports, playing with toys & more. In my free time I like to swim, skateboard, listen to music, learn new things, write, and ground myself in nature. Children love me as their babysitter because I’m empathetic, open minded, committed, and pretty funny. Your child’s safety is my upmost importance, and of course having fun. References can be provided. I wear masks at all times, and I carry hand sanitizer with me. Note: I am aware I have a two star review, if you would like to know more about why that review is on my page I am more than happy to explain the situation. Unfortunately, the parent never had the chance to meet nor interview me.

Amanda is an excellent pet sitter, possibly the best I have encountered. She was quick in her responses and put my mind at ease throughout the process with notifications of when she arrived and left my home. My cat seemed very happy in her care and they got along well. I would definitely use Amanda's services again and recommend her to friends. I also appreciated the pics and videos to see how Scout was doing in my absence!

Lisa W., Child Care in East Rutherford, NJ 07073 with 21 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Lisa! I have worked as a career nanny in NYC for nearly 10 years and have been babysitting for over 20. My academic background is in Ancient Greek and Roman history and language, and some of my personal passions are drawing, film, travel, gallery exhibits, and live music. I am currently looking for summer jobs with school-aged children, including camp pickups, activity shuffling, or just having fun. I am also available to provide backup care in the event that your typical childcare is unavailable. I place an enormous emphasis on safety, both in the home and in public. I am seasoned and confident navigating the city with a child, whether by subway, walking, or taxi, I am skilled at implementing existing routines as well as developing new. I am sharp, energetic, motivated, friendly, and affectionate. I enjoy spending time with kids going for walks and adventures, hanging out at the playground, reading books, doing art projects, working puzzles, and playing games. I am always up for a dance party or imaginative play. I genuinely have a blast with kids, learning about their interests and hearing their anecdotes. I am happy to help with summer homework if needed and am a capable cook with the right supplies and clear expectations. I am a team player and seek to accommodate the morals, attitudes, and values that are most important to the parents to have instilled in their children. I aim to be a true asset to any family that employs me. I am punctual, honest, respectful, and professional; I follow instruction well and take gentle criticism with ease. I have wonderful references and a formal resume, and I hope that you will consider me for your family’s new sitter! Please note: I am currently not offering toddler care due to a disc injury.

We were so glad to find Lisa when our regular afternoon babysitter had to be away for several months. Lisa filled in seamlessly -- picking up our six-year-old daughter from school, taking her to playdates and appointments, and bringing her home at the end of the day. Lisa was always punctual, communicative, playful, and fun to be around -- and, most of all, my daughter really enjoyed spending the time with her. She became a part of the school community of parents and caregivers, and knew all my daughter's friends. She was cheerful, thoughtful, and a wonderful caregiver. I'd be happy to act as a reference for any families looking for a great, highly responsible, and caring nanny or sitter!

Wendy R., Child Care in East Rutherford, NJ 07073 with 14 years of paid experience

Hi! I've been a nanny and babysitter for over 14 years, caring for children from just a few weeks old up to age 12. What started as helping out a co-worker occasionally has grown into something I've done alongside my professional life for over a decade-and I genuinely love it. Most recently, I spent 7 years with one Brooklyn family, caring for their son from age 5 through 12. I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities-whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration. I'm comfortable with: -Infants, toddlers, and older children (including multiples) -Special needs (including mild autism and mood disorders) -Doctor visits -Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs -Cooking, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help -Pet-friendly homes (I love animals!) I freelance & work remotely in sales and marketing, which gives me a flexible schedule. Whether you need regular care or backup support, my goal is to make your life easier and help your child feel safe, supported, and seen.

Wendy came to babysit our 3 month old twice in a hotel room for dinner. She was great! Fantastic communication, punctual, was able to resettle our baby to sleep (no small feat!) and very trustworthy. We will definitely ask her again next time we visit.

During her time with us, Lucy was responsible for caring for our young children, meal prep, light housework, and accompanying us on activities. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and attuned to our children’s needs. Her abilities to remain positive and calm, while keeping kids engaged and creating a nurturing environment consistently fostered a sense of security, joy, and trust. Our family absolutely adores her, and we always felt confident they were safe and well cared for. She became an important member of our family, and we continue to remain close. I would not hesitate to hire her again and whole heartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny!
