Melissa G., Child Care in Edison, NJ 08817 with 13 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Mel! For the start of the school year, I’m looking to work 1-2x a week alongside my current part time which runs from 3-6pm tues, thurs, fri. Will clear out any one of my work days to work for you. Open to positions within 7 miles of Linden. I’m 29, CPR/First Aid certified, and have over 13 years of experience in babysitting and nannying. My experience includes caring for infants, working as a mother’s helper, caring for multiple children (in daycares as well), twins, and I’m experienced with autistic children. My specialty is my ability to connect with and relate to every child, almost instantly and making them feel right at home. I’m very comfortable with energetic kids and enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment through activities like arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. I pride myself in being reliable, punctual, attentive, and making both children and guardians feel supported and at ease. My rate starts at $24/hour and increases by $1 for each additional child. I offer paid trial days at $23/hour. References are available upon request. I’m available for video, phone, or in-person interviews. Looking forward to connecting!

Mel has worked with my now 3 year old for a few months. My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and Mel did a terrific job with making her feel more comfortable. I highly recommend Mel and will definitely call her again down the line if I need her help.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! She has been with our family for the past two years and has been an incredible caregiver to our boys. She is kind, loving, dependable, and truly cares about them. She keeps them active, engaged, and always on the go—whether it’s trips to the park, sports, music classes, playdates, or other fun adventures. She drives them wherever they need to go and is always keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind especially for two working parents! Sandy has had such a positive impact on our youngest, who is now 2½. Thanks to her, he speaks and understands so much Spanish! More than anything, she has built such a genuine, loving relationship with both of our boys and treats them as if they were her own. They adore her! Any family would be lucky to have her!

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.

Michelle helped care for our 4-month-old baby over the summer, and we had an excellent experience with her. She is caring, patient, responsible, and has a great work ethic. She was very attentive to our baby’s needs and made us feel comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. Michelle is also very friendly and easy to work with. We would definitely love to work with her again in the future.
