We were traveling from out of town for a wedding and in need of child care for 3 toddlers. Ella was unbelievable. Nature, mature, responsible, patient- she put me at immediate ease and my kids loved her. Only wish we lived closer so she could be a regular Sitter for us. She’s a special one.

Heather C., Child Care in Lafayette, NJ 07848 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi families! I have lots of personal and nanny experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers and adore children and furry friends. I am mom to 2 kids (14 and 17) and I work full time with adults with special needs but my hours are entirely squeezed into evening shifts on Wednesdays/Fridays/Saturday evenings. I am seeking to nanny on some weekdays. I live in Jefferson Township with my husband, our two teens, and a sweet Yorkie. I am very patient and easygoing and probably fall into the gentle parenting category. I have a lot of experience with bottle feeding pumped/formula, diaper changing, supervising during the learning to walk stage, etc. I am cpr/first aid certified for adults. i have done child cpr/first aid in the past and I have background and fingerprinting checks for full-time job that I can forward. I am medication administration certified and have a BA. Most importantly I love kids and furry friends and have lots of patience with the amazing and hectic and messy journey of raising little people. I know how busy it is and how little things like just getting out the door on time is a whole procees that doesn't always work. It takes a village, and a sense of humor is helpful! Thanks!

Molly  N., Child Care in Lafayette, NJ 07848 with 3 years of paid experience

I am a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider with 3–4 years of hands-on experience working in a daycare setting with children ranging from infants to school-age. In addition to my daycare background, I have provided one-on-one babysitting for a 1-year-old, giving me strong experience with routines, feeding, and early developmental support. I currently work in a school as a special class aide, where I support children with diverse learning and developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for every child. I am also in graduate school pursuing my Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy, which gives me a deeper understanding of child development, communication, and early learning. I love engaging children in fun, educational activities while ensuring they feel safe, supported, and happy.

Melissa R., Child Care in Lafayette, NJ 07848 with 1 year of paid experience

Where to begin... My love for children and first "babysitting" job started way back when I was only 11yrs old caring for a neighbor's 4-month-old all by myself! (Times sure were different, yes?) By the time I graduated HS, I was babysitting EVERYONE in the neighborhood and continued to do so for neighbors and family way beyond my college years! I spent 13yrs as an Art teacher and private (non-Art) tutor for children aged 3-14 in a fast paced environment, I’ve been an Aide in PreK3-1st grade, and I have nannied for 2 families. A full resume is available upon request. From many years in the Education field, as well as my babysitting/nannying experience, I'd say that I've developed quite a few skills when it comes to understanding the needs of a child, as well as the patience and kindness required to help them learn and grow in a safe environment. I hold a B.F.A. and I am educated in basic first aid including Epi-Pens, CPR, and AED machines. I am currently available for Mon.-Fri. childcare and would prefer a FT position. I am a bit of a nervous driver and am NOT comfortable taxiing children to activities or to/from school. I'd be best suited working with infants or younger children, I would prefer to devote my time to one child, and can even offer Pre-K-Kdg preparation. I'd love to work for a family that is open to allowing playtime outside in the yard as well as walks (in a stroller if needed) around the neighborhood and/or to a local park. I am a big fan of fresh air and adventures! When caring for/working with children, I love nature, arts and crafts, reading, music, and anything creative that is fun and allows a child to “think outside the box”. Meal prep is not a problem and I am open to helping with light laundry if needed as well. As for me personally, I have been with my husband 12 yrs (10 married). I enjoy having adventures and traveling when I can, photography, a variety of Art, reading, music, Paleo-digs, hiking, camping, animals, sci-fi/comic book related activities, and occasionally playing video games with my husband. I am very family oriented and am close with my parents and siblings, as well as the rest of the extended family. If you’d like to know anything else, don’t hesitate to ask! Communication is the key to making things work!
