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.

Hello there! I truly love working with kids, I have a lot of experience working with multiple children at once & separately in many different home environments/daycares. My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started when my mother use to babysit kids daily at home which I’ve got to experience & help her when I was younger. Since then I’ve worked in daycares & family friendly homes! I’m also an Aunt to the best kid ever!! Becoming an Aunt has truly been the highlight of my life. I’m a very caring, fun, helpful & compassionate individual that you can trust & be a loving sitter to your babies! I love arts & crafts, reading books, movies, outside activities & more! I also want to add that pets are no problem as well! I’m constantly around animals & I also pet sit! Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Hi! my name is Camryn, I’m a dependable, patient and caring caregiver with experience working in daycare and nannying settings. I currently work part time as a phlebotomist Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM, which gives me a lot of flexible availability for afternoon, evening and some weekend childcare needs. I’ve cared for children of different ages and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable and engaged. Through my daycare and nannying experience, I’ve helped with things like light meal prep, playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, and keeping children on a consistent schedule. I understand the importance of being attentive, responsible, and communicative with parents. Working in healthcare has also strengthened my professionalism, patience, reliability, and ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping families however I can. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and providing trustworthy, compassionate care!

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.

Retired law-enforcement officer. Raised two girls (well almost). One is a sophomore in college and the other will be graduating high school this year. I so miss when they were little. I miss watching them learn and experience new things. I miss when they say the funniest things. Would be happy to spend some time watching your little ones grow.

I am an honest, caring, responsible, friendly and vegan 47-year-old married woman who moved from Spain to NJ in December of 2011. I come from a big family (I am the youngest of 8 siblings!) and I grew up with small kids always around me (nephews, nieces and neighbors). My work experience there was basically office & Accounting work, since I have a degree in Accountancy, but once I moved here, I decided to take care of kids thanks to my great experience in the past, not only in Spain but also when I moved to Ireland for 6 months in 2004 to improve my English. Once there, I worked with 2 families taking care of their 8 month-old baby boys. It was a wonderful experience that I still cherish today. During my first 5 years here I took care of 2 brothers since they were babies and I can honestly say that I loved it (and love them!) and I feel so privileged to witness what two wonderful boys they became! Since then, I was lucky to take care of infants in a Day Care and work with 2 different families. My goal as a Caregiver is to nurture, care, teach, bring some fun and also keep children’s natural curiosity for everything around them alive. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Nanny like me I think they would be working parents who are kind and compassionate and are looking for a trustworthy and nurturing person, who is going to teach and care for their children as if they were my own. I am First Aid/CPR certified, I have a clean driving record, my own car and a non-smoker. I am willing to help with homework, do grocery shopping, laundry and light housekeeping related to the children.
