Caring for my younger siblings and students in my community influenced my decision to become a caregiver. Participating in activities such as summer enrichment classes and daycare learning centers fueled my passion even more, and those experiences taught me that I am passionate about helping people and improving the daily lives of those in need of care. Supporting my students taught me patience, compassion, and problem-solving skills. I learned how to deal with problems quickly and effectively in order to keep them healthy and safe.

I am a caring and dependable nanny with over 5 years of experience supporting families with newborns, infants, and toddlers. I bring a calm, nurturing approach and focus on helping children feel safe, comfortable, and supported as they grow. I work closely with parents to establish healthy feeding routines, consistent sleep schedules, and age-appropriate developmental activities. My experience includes bottle-feeding, breast milk handling, introducing solids, tummy time, and engaging infants and toddlers through early learning and sensory play. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully up to date on vaccinations, and committed to maintaining a safe and structured environment at all times. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families.

Jilitia was a godsend! Jilitia worked with me and my five month old for a month. She always showed up a few minutes before her shift and was super communicative. She also helped nap train my son. Jilitia is bubbly, really enjoys children, and is easy going. I would highly recommend her!

Hi Families! My name is Jo, and I have over 15 years of experience in childcare for all ages. My past experiences have been with wonderful families who have welcomed me as an addition to their family. I took excellent care of the children and completed all the duties the position required on time. I consider myself a very reliable, trustworthy, honest, patient, and punctual person who puts a hundred percent into whatever the job requirements are. My strong references from my previous employers will prove that I would be a great fit for your family. I have a very energetic personality and multitasking is not an issue for me. I enjoy keeping your child happy at all times as that is an important factor to me as well as safety and wellbeing which I prioritize. Being an addition to your family is not just a job for me, it is my passion in childcare.

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 7am-5/6pm M-Th. Friday mornings and an occasional evening for date nights, as nights and weekends is dedicated to my child/family. 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. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. 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, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety 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 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with 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. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.

Stephanie is an absolute gem! I had her watch my infant while I worked in office, and she was a lifesaver. She is intuitive and proactive. My baby is usually tough with new people, but she was calm and happy with her instantly. She turned a potentially stressful day into a peaceful one and even shared some great tips on infant care. If you are looking for someone professional who truly understands babies, I cannot recommend Stephanie enough.

Ayesha watched our 1-yr old daughter in our hotel room while we were traveling from out-of-town for a wedding. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with - which really helped boost our confidence in booking a babysitter in another town. She even brought extra toys with her to entertain our daughter - which was very much appreciated! We certainly recommend Ayesha!

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.
