Hi, my name is Melissa Alvarez, and I am 26 years old! I recently graduated from LIM College. I live in Staten Island but work in Manhattan. I grew up in New York and know all the boroughs. I have three younger siblings, so I always grew up taking care of younger children. Some things I like are Disney, reading books, and running. I am a very organized and detail-oriented person. I have been working with children since I was 17 years old. My past jobs include being a substitute para for many children of different age groups and a camp counselor for pre-k. I also became a head counselor for two years for 3rd-grade girls. As for babysitting, my past experiences include caring for a 3-year-old boy. Please message me for references.

Jasmine B., Child Care in Iselin, NJ 08830 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Jasmine. Read a little about me below: I have 14 years of baby sitting/nannying experience (2008-2018). Additionally, in 2015 I started working at a elementary charter school in Brooklyn, NY called Brooklyn Prospect. I’ve had the honor of moving up the scale through a number of promotions. Unfortunately, 2021 was my last year working with my BPCS family as I became pregnant and wanted to take some personal time to enjoy my pregnancy. Much of my childcare career has surrounding around caring for children starting from infancy to 13. Working with children has been my passion as you can see for years. Having engaging interactions, playing, discussing interest and overall getting to know the young ones is a joy that keeps me going. My interest? I have lots of them but my ultimate favorite is dancing so I’m always down for a dance party. I love to be active and run. Want to play basketball, soccer.. I’m so down!!

Clarita S., Child Care in Iselin, NJ 08830 with 2 years of paid experience

I am originally from the beautiful island of St.Lucia , and I enjoy visiting whenever the time allows. I enjoy the great outdoors, working in my garden and planting new plants and seeds; personally I believe it is important to take advantage of the fresh air. I have two children who have recently graduated from college. I am also a creative person, this led me to attend Penn Foster to pursue a certification in Child Development, although I had to defer due to personal reasons. However, as a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. Most recently, I have cared for a 4 year old which included watching him and preparing minor snacks/light housekeeping. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! I am currently looking for jobs within the areas of Maplewood,South Orange, and Union vicinity.
