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 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.

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.

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.

I had multiple children experiences. in my 20 years with Sitter city I am proud to say my shortest stay with a family was 3 years. I only leave either bcuz the family relocated or the children grew up to the point the grandmother can already stay and watch them like they were already 16 years old. My youngest child I took care was a newly born -3 months old. I can provide several references to vouch for my reliability, my punctuality and good character. YOu can even let sitter city run my criminal background for your peace of mind . If interested- you may contact me at 732-646-1678. if you already got someone- you can keep my number for date nights, special occasions like wedding were your sitter suddenly called off sick. I am very flexible as I'm retired. Sincerely Annie
