Marietou B., Child Care in Matawan, NJ 07747 with 6 years of paid experience

I am a 2023 graduate from Rutgers School of Engineering where I studied biomedical engineering. I was raised in an African home where kids were always running around and as the oldest it was my duty to take care of them, even from a young age. Working with kids has always come naturally to me and child development has always been an interest of mine. I am looking for a long term position with consistent hours (I am okay with a flexible schedule). I have been on Sitter City since 2020 and have worked in many different kinds of families. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, as well as children K-12 at a total of 5 long term positions. I have worked with children with learning disabilities and families with multiple children (up to 3). I have also worked as an art teacher at my local gallery for classes of up to 20 students ages 5-13. My services include the following: - Cooking (simple meal prep to full meals) - Cleaning (light clean up, organization, laundry) - Assisting with homework afterschool - Engaging in fun activities (arts & crafts, sports, music) - Driving (school pickup / driving to and from activities) - Early childhood development (reading, potty training, tummy time, etc) - Infant care (changing diapers, making/feeding bottle, burping, etc.) I am comfortable with pets (I have a 5 year old pomsky at home) and I have my own car ( a 2021 Nissan Sentra with full safety features). I am a non smoked, vaccinated & boosted for COVID-19, and I am CPR certified and trained in First Aid. I hope to be a good fit for you and your family and I hope to hear from you soon help your kids with homework, and even sing them lullabies. I am also comfortable with pets (I have a pomsky at home). I own my own car, am comfortable driving with children, am a nonsmoker, COVID 19 vaccinated (and boosted), as well as CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you and your family and hear back from you soon!

Lisa is an amazing babysitter. She took care of my 17-month-old daughter in Princeton, NJ, at our hotel for nine hours while I attended business meetings nearby. From the very beginning, she communicated clearly, was proactive, and arrived right on time. I loved how she built a genuine connection with my child within the first few minutes of meeting her. Her approach is thoughtful and confident, and her frequent updates throughout the day gave me complete peace of mind. I felt entirely at ease knowing my daughter was in reliable, caring hands. Lisa is incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. Thank you again, Lisa — when we’re back in Princeton for work, I’ll definitely reach out!
