I have been in New Jersey for four years now, and moved near the Ridgewood area 2 years ago. I'm employed full-time as a Brand Manager as my 9-5, but love to add in babysitting outside of working hours. I am very passionate about child development, and love having fun with all ages of kiddos! I can provide additional references and work history!

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.

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.

Hi! I'm a TV News Producer and mom to two princess-loving toddlers. I stepped away from the TV industry last year to focus on raising my girls (and to finally ditch that Manhattan commute)! I’m a mom so I know how important it is to find the right person you can trust to care for your children when needed. I take that responsibility seriously and will always make thoughtful, smart, and quick decisions to ensure your little ones are safe, happy, and thriving. About me: I grew up in Fair Lawn and now live in Hawthorne with my husband and daughters, where we love being a part of the Hawthorne community. I am extremely energetic and have a nurturing nature that has carried with me through more than 20 years of consistent childcare experience. Running a newsroom also helped my organizational and management skills shine… and I can plan a birthday party or major event in my sleep!! Since I’m not working in the industry right now, my availability is wide open to help families in need of a helping hand. I do have all background checks completed on here but they expire every 90 days so let me know if you’d like a copy and I will gladly provide!! I also made my Instagram (@carasayssmile) public so PLEASE feel free to dig deeper into my life beyond these four paragraphs!
