Hi! My name is Chloe, I am a 25 year old nursing student looking for a job in child care. I grew up in a large family as the oldest daughter, naturally giving my siblings that second-mom bonus. I absolutely love working with children, helping them in any way I can! I have experience working with infants to teens and those with disabilities. I also have 6 years of experience as a beach lifeguard giving me most of my qualifications (CPR, first aid & AED certs). I am excited to get to know both you & your kids, hoping to make an impact in your family's life!

Hello! My name is Jonna, though I also go by “Yana.” I am 25 years old and currently an undergraduate Criminal Justice student at Monmouth University. My long-term goal is to pursue a career in federal or private-sector law enforcement, which has strongly shaped my sense of responsibility, ethics, and care for others. I have extensive experience working with both children and the elderly. From 2019 to 2022, I relocated from Virginia to New Jersey to be a full-time caregiver for my grandfather, who was living with Parkinson’s disease and later entered hospice care. This experience deeply strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to handle responsibility in emotionally and physically demanding situations. I am CPR certified, trained in First Aid, and also have Wilderness First Aid experience. Safety is always a top priority for me. My interest in babysitting comes from the positive impact my own babysitters had on me growing up. They treated me with fairness, structure, and compassion. having these consistent and caring role models made a lasting difference in who I am today. I strive to provide that same supportive presence for the children I care for. I strongly believe in limiting excessive screen time and encouraging children to develop healthy coping skills, creativity, and self-expression. I enjoy engaging kids in hands-on activities, outdoor play, and experiences that foster curiosity and confidence. I am very comfortable helping with homework, teaching basic life skills (such as cleaning up after themselves, manners, and empathy), and adapting to diverse learning styles and developmental needs, including disabilities. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with side tasks such as light cleaning, grocery runs, dog walking, and household organization. Much of my childcare experience began in Virginia, where I worked with Girl Scouts and was a sailing instructor. These roles taught me leadership, teamwork, and how to guide children in both structured and adventurous environments. I genuinely enjoy being a positive role model and a reliable support system for families. Helping care for children and contributing to a household is something I view as a privilege, and I sincerely look forward to offering a helping hand to you and your child or children.
