Yasmin J., Child Care in Mahwah, NJ 07430 with 8 years of paid experience

My name is Yasmin. Responsibility and kindness are my most defining qualities. I come from a large family and helped raise many of my nieces and nephews from their birth. I can understand, with you as the parent, the need to feel safe and secure with your children's baby sitter. So you can thoroughly enjoy your night out. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, even if that means having to clean a dirty diaper or two. When I'm together with your children, firstly, I will follow your instructions to the letter and, if I have any questions, we will use our pre-arranged contact plan. I am happy to keep your children's playtime active; toys, coloring, games, story-telling, television (if they are allowed to watch), listening to music, and, most importantly, letting them guide our activities. Seeing a child go to bed with a smile on their face really warms my heart. I have knowledge about development milestones. Also, I am available to give Spanish lessons in person or virtual. Thank you for considering me as your next babysitter.

Londyn G., Child Care in Mahwah, NJ 07430 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello Families, My name is Londyn and I am full time nanny (during the weekdays) and a student studying Pediatric Nuclear Medicine. I have been in childcare for 20+ years and am well versed in behavioral, mental, and physical milestones. I have experience with all ages, including newborns, and am first aid and CPR certified. I am a caring and nurturing person, and children have always felt comfortable near me. I have worked with children with behavioral issues, slower developmental development, as well as children with Autism and Downs Syndrome. For the family I currently work with, I do meal prep for the parents for the week, laundry, run errands, and all tasks involving the children (cooking their dinners, preparing their lunches, homework help, driving them around, etc.). I truly love being a nanny/sitter and working with children of all ages.

Lisa D., Child Care in Mahwah, NJ 07430 with 20 years of paid experience

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training    •   Master’s Degree in Elementary Education    •   Certified Lifeguard (past)    •   CPR & First Aid knowledge    •   Strong classroom management and communication skills    •   Experience with children from infants to pre-teens     I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.
