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!

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.

I started babysitting way back when I was just 12yrs old. I have a grown son and a teen daughter. While I do not currently work, I have over 16yrs experience as an LPN, primarily as a pediatric and family practice nurse. I live in Belvidere, with my husband and teen daughter. I look forward to becoming a grandmother in August 2026, but my son lives almost 9hrs away.

Hi! I'm someone who truly loves working with children. My favorite part is watching them learn something new and seeing how excited they get when they want to show you what they've accomplished. Being a small part of their growth and helping build their confidence is incredibly rewarding. I've been caring for children since I was 16 years old, starting with babysitting and continuing through a variety of childcare and education roles. I've worked as a preschool assistant with infants through school-age children, taught preschool, and currently work as a paraprofessional. These experiences have helped me become patient, dependable, and creative when it comes to keeping kids engaged, safe, and happy. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I always strive to create a fun, caring, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the kind of care that gives parents peace of mind while helping kids have fun and thrive!

Margaret G., Child Care in Great Meadows, NJ 07838 with 23 years of paid experience

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.
