Hello! I'm Lisa. The holidays are coming and so is school break!, Do you need a babysitter and child care? Having lots of experience with children of all ages, I would love to chat with you as I feel I'm a great candidate! Here's a little of my background... I'm a special education paraprofessional in the Jackson school district for 16 years and back to living here, too. I babysit for local as well as out of state families who come for weddings and other special occasions. I have also worked in the district's child care program for many years, including summers with ages prek-5th grade. When Covid struck our world, I began babysitting a family of three, ages 18 months-7 years old. More recently this past summer, I was a mother's helper w twins, almost age two and I've continued helping with them for week night date nights, weekends as well as school closings. During the day, I work in the school as a para then the child care program. My years of experience show an exceptional capability of working and playing with children while they're having fun and safe! Feel free to contact me to discuss me helping with your care needs. I've got plenty of references too! Stay well and speak with you soon! Lisa

Lisa is an amazing babysitter. She took care of my 17-month-old daughter in Princeton, NJ, at our hotel for nine hours while I attended business meetings nearby. From the very beginning, she communicated clearly, was proactive, and arrived right on time. I loved how she built a genuine connection with my child within the first few minutes of meeting her. Her approach is thoughtful and confident, and her frequent updates throughout the day gave me complete peace of mind. I felt entirely at ease knowing my daughter was in reliable, caring hands. Lisa is incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. Thank you again, Lisa — when we’re back in Princeton for work, I’ll definitely reach out!

Amiya was such an asset to our family while caring for our children. We wish Amiya could have stayed with us for a longer time. Our children loved Amiya she was so caring affectionate and loving. She always showed up earlier than her shift started and never minded staying late if we asked. Anyone who is able to have Amiya as a caregiver / nanny is lucky to say the least. Any questions you may have please don’t hesitate to call or text , 7322079498 .

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.

Margarita was great to my son Evan, she really made an effort to get him outside and active. She’s reliable, patient, and communicates day and night in case of last-minute requirements. Margarita also kept our home nice and tidy whenever my wife and I returned. Evan gets very excited whenever she comes to sit. We got very lucky when we found her, and would highly recommend!
