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)

Sophia C., Child Care in Great Meadows, NJ 07838 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

I have 2 amazing sons, ages 18 & 22 I have experience working in the infant and older infant room at a daycare. I am both first aid and CPR certified I love taking care of children of all ages. But honestly I think babies are my weakness as I absolutely adore them I started babysitting while in high school and I still enjoy it so much. I think of the children as my own while I'm caring for them, and stop and appreciate all the little things that are often times overlooked. I love doing art and crafts, music, reading and especially love outdoor fun. I truly get great joy being around them. I enjoy watching them grow, learn and develop into the little people they are destined to be

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.
