Although we ended up canceling due to a family member being available to watch our little one… Maya was very responsive and we felt confident. She provided everything we needed prior and communicated very promptly.

Hello! I recently moved out of New York City leaving my job in childcare (ages prek-8th) of 3 years. Now I am back in school, training to become a Pilates teacher and generally have a flexible schedule. I loved working with the kids, and the emotional reward of impacting their small lives. In addition to my professional experience in childcare, I also have always had young kids in my family to look after. I want to be a mom myself one day, but until then, I will pour my love, nurture, and attention to others. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello!, My name is Serena! I'm 22 years old and I love kids! I have been babysitting for a while, even if it's just my baby cousins, relatives, neighbors, friends of family, you name it! I try to be as responsible and attentive as possible, while also hoping to let out my fun side a little bit. Kids are such a joy to work with and hang around. I am a student in college, and this summer I am hoping to find some kiddos to look after and take care of your beloved kiddos! My current job is as a paraprofessional substitute so I have experience both educating and caring for children of all different ages from infant all the way to high schoolers. I’m currently looking for a summer position since the school season is ending soon!

Updated Sept 2021 No Availability. I have lots of energy and I blow parents away with my ability to keep up with kids. I already have been cleared with a background check. This also includes finger printed. I have many references Hello Moms and Dads, Mary poppins isn't available, but I am the next best thing. I work well with kids of all ages.I enjoy doing many activities with children and I have a lot of patience, and yes I have been tested before. I do not scream at children. I believe you have to get down to their level so they really can understand what you are saying. I am a big animal lover. Very warm hearted and affectionate. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own and enjoy them very much. I have over 10 references if needed for childcare. I enjoy working with families instead of a daycare. I like to think of myself as mother's helper. Mom's should always come first in a child's eyes. I am just an extra set of hands when needed. I enjoy reading, getting messy with art's and crafts, taking trips to the library, going to the park, playing catch, baseball, playing dress up and with children. I do really everything. I have made washing a car into somthing fun in the summer time. I enjoy making kids laugh and have a good time. I can also be stern when needed, in the case of discipline I use the time out system. I am a hugh supernanny fan and i never miss a show. I have many references and I will show you that I am not just a great nanny but a great person as well. When it's time for me to go, I will always double check if there is something else you need help with and be more then happy to stay and finsih it for you. I am available ( I dress appropriatly and in the summer i always bring an extra set of clothes, because I don't mind getting dirty or going through a sprinkler with the kids)

Joanne is a new babysitter for my 9 month old twins. She is absolutely amazing with them! She can somehow get them calm even during moments of teething pains. Joanne has a great can do, relaxed, happy demeanor and has been an absolute joy having around. She is a terrific singer :) and has quite a repertoire of children's songs. She has a childhood education and care background and experience which I find reassuring. During nap time, she has happily helped us with projects around our house - e.g., folding laundry and lining shelves.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with kids and being a positive part of their day. I like creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. It’s really rewarding to build connections with kids and help them learn, grow, and gain confidence. What experience do you have? I have a strong background working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve worked in a preschool with children ages 3–5, have experience babysitting, and taught first grade in Paterson, New Jersey. I’m currently working as a paraprofessional supporting children with special needs, which has given me even more hands-on experience with different learning styles, behaviors, and individualized support. What skills and training do you have? My education is in psychology, and I’m currently in school to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. This has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional support. I’m patient, reliable, and able to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I’m also experienced in creating structure, managing routines, and helping children feel safe, understood, and cared for.

As a mother of four children and certified elementary school teacher, I have tons of experience! Rest assured, I have had criminal background checks because I am a teacher and have been vetted through the state of New Jersey. I've completed multiple trainings as well. Currently, I'm primarily looking for occasional, or one-time babysitting gigs! I am a reading interventionist working part-time, which is why I am seeking out occasional opportunities to care for children and pets. I am also a children's yoga instructor. My hobbies include reading, hiking, healthy cooking, yoga, and traveling. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! Please reach out to me as I am happy to share more about myself.

I love working with children. My favorite is to watch them learn something new and light up when they want to show off something that is so important to them.
