We are from out of town and needed a sitter while we attended a wedding. Courtney was awesome-our kiddos really enjoyed her, she was communicative and flexible when our schedule didn’t go to plan. We would highly recommend her!

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 8am-6pm M-Th. Fridays I hold meetings and I am available for a weekend on occasion or special events when discussed in advance. A little about me 😊My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. I am a developmental specialist who is blessed to work remotely with the DOH while being a career nanny over the last 20 years. I have extensive experience with premature infants-8yr olds. Both typical & neuro divergent 🌈and have worked with families of all different cultures/beliefs. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, social, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety & FUN is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. 🍃 I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search- And Enjoy every moment. Your child will never be the age that they are today & those small moments are precious 💎. Don’t compare them to other children & always notice their strengths 💪 for there is only one of them ❤️❤️ 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will at times accompany me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency.

If someone had told me before becoming a mom that the person I hired would change my life, I probably wouldn't have believed them. As a single mom, I've always been independent. I've built my career, handled everything on my own, and have always prided myself on figuring things out. Then I had my daughter, and for the first time in my life I questioned whether I could actually be successful at both being a mom and continuing to thrive in my career. It was a feeling I wasn't used to, and honestly one that was really hard for me. I originally hired Stephanie part time to help me through those first few months with my newborn. I wanted support with sleep, routines, milestones, and just adjusting to life with a baby until she was around six months old and starting solids. What I got was so much more than that. Stephanie has this calm about her that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay. She never waited to be told what to do. She saw what needed to be done before I even realized it myself. Her background in social services really shows because she understands people just as much as she understands babies. She didn't just help me care for my daughter. She helped me become the kind of mom I wanted to be while also helping me feel like I didn't have to give up the career I had worked so hard to build. She helped me create routines, organize my life, and somehow always knew exactly what I needed, even on the days I couldn't put it into words myself. It's honestly hard to describe what Stephanie's role was because calling her a nanny doesn't even come close. She walked into my life during one of the biggest transitions I've ever gone through and gave me the confidence to believe I could do both. She wasn't just helping with my baby. She was helping me. I can honestly say I don't know what those first six months would have looked like without her. She became such an important part of our lives, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for my daughter, but even more for what she did for me. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Stephanie. She is one of those people who leaves things better than she found them, and I know she'll have the same impact wherever she goes next.

We are so lucky to have Laila care for our 3-month-old baby girl! She is very warm and kind. She was able to quickly soothe my baby and help her fall asleep for a nap. Our baby felt so safe and comfortable sleeping in her arms. It's obvious that Laila is highly experienced with infants. She is truly an amazing nanny, and I highly recommend her!

I can’t recommend Jennifer’s childcare service enough. From the time my daughter was a newborn through 6 months old, she has been in the most caring and capable hands. Jennifer is incredibly helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure both baby and parents feel comfortable and supported. She is consistently communicative, keeping me updated throughout the day and always making herself available for questions or check-ins. Most importantly, she is someone I completely trust, something that is priceless when it comes to your child. Knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for has given me such peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she provides every single day.

Hi I’m Molly! I’m a comic book artist, looking for extra work! I absolutely adore children, and believe there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping families. I have previous nannying experience in college. I nannied for a 2-year-old boy and 5-year-girl. I also have my very own 5-year-old sister, so I’ve seen every meltdown, every smelly diaper, and every crazy situation you can imagine! I have additional mental healthy training from my experience as a peer mentor at Montclair State University (however, those were very big kids!!) As an artist, I have a very active imagination so we can definitely play pretend, make cookies (not to brag, but my fiancé thinks I make the best chocolate chip cookies), or do whatever the kiddos want—within reason of course, haha!
