I love working with children because of their curiosity, energy, and the joy they bring to each day. My experience spans several years in various childcare settings, where I have developed a deep understanding of child development and a knack for creating engaging, nurturing environments that promote learning and growth. What sets me apart from others is my genuine passion for helping children reach their full potential, my patience, and my ability to connect with each child on a personal level. I am dedicated to fostering a safe, positive atmosphere where children feel valued and encouraged to explore their creativity and individuality.

Hey there! 🌟 I’m Nazia, and caring for children has been a passion of mine since I was 9 years old. Over the past decade, I’ve had the joy of looking after kids of all ages—from newborns to teenagers (0–13 years old)—including children with ASD, ADHD, and other special needs. Now at 21, I’ve expanded my experience even further by working professionally as a Behavior Technician (BT), supporting children with developmental challenges through applied behavior analysis. I’m also certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), First Aid, and CPR, so your child’s safety is always a top priority in my care. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, or simply being a calm and caring presence, I’m committed to creating a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where kids can thrive. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my heart, skills, and experience to your family! Hello, my availability on the app seems to be wrong!

Ayesha watched our 1-yr old daughter in our hotel room while we were traveling from out-of-town for a wedding. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with - which really helped boost our confidence in booking a babysitter in another town. She even brought extra toys with her to entertain our daughter - which was very much appreciated! We certainly recommend Ayesha!

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.

Kelly has been and is currently our sitter of choice for the past 9 years! She started with us when my younger son was an infant and my oldest was a toddler. My kids loved her from the start. She was very engaging with them and kept them occupied by playing games or reading stories etc. She always made them feel safe and cared for. As a parent what I loved most, was at the end of the evening, we would get a full report of the nights event from Kelly. We could tell she really knew our kids. Kelly is hands down the most reliable, responsible and hard working babysitter I know! She never hesitated to reach out if there was a question or concern, but also was mature enough to handle situations on her own and totally appropriately. My husband and I trust her completely with our two sons and our dog which she pets sits for while we are away. We never worry when Kelly is with our kids or taking care of our dog and home. We feel truly blessed to have met Kelly many years ago and welcomed her into our lives. We really can't rave enough about the quality individual she is!

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. Most recently, in 2025, I cared for a 5‑month‑old, providing attentive supervision, preparing light snacks, and assisting with light housekeeping. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!

Hi, I'm Seun! Fair warning — if you hire me, there's a good chance your kitchen may become a culinary lab. We once recreated edible dirt using crushed Oreos and gummy worms, and it was a hit. I've been working with children since high school and have loved every moment of it. I believe kids see the world with a curiosity and wonder that is truly special, and I feel privileged to play a role in their growth into their own autonomous selves. This work has taught me the rewards of being present, the value of play, and the power of creativity — lessons I carry with me every day. I believe the best moments with children happen when you lean into their interest, and I've built my entire approach around that idea. I've been working with children since high school — starting with families of teachers and growing through word-of-mouth ever since. I'm experienced with toddlers through preteens, comfortable with multiples, and tend to build long-term relationships with the families I work with. Day-to-day I can help with morning and nighttime routines, meal prep, homework, driving to activities, and keeping kids engaged with screen-free games, outdoor play, and playdates. I'm currently in medical school on a scholar's Year for research, which means I bring a clinical understanding of child safety, health, and development to every family I work with — and I have genuine flexibility in my schedule for the foreseeable year. I also volunteer as a tutor supporting students from elementary school through the college application process. I'm available to start immediately and would love to meet your family. Feel free to reach out!
