Laila was great with our kids. She is a mother herself which brings lots of reassurances and focuses on what the kids need and what the parents would like from a routine standpoint.

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!

She was absolutely wonderful with our little one. It was our first time leaving him with a babysitter outside of the family so we were a little nervous, but Margie put our worries at ease by sending us some text updates during the night (at our request). Our son was in a great mood when we got home and asked about her for a few days after. I would highly recommend her.

Cynthia was our nanny for 1.5 years. She developed an instant bond with our baby. She was attentive, organized playdates, and became a great friend to our whole family. We trusted her completely, and we never hesitated leaving our baby with Cynthia. We miss her so much and wish we still lived nearby. Any family is lucky to have Cynthia as their nanny.

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 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.

Samantha F., Child Care in Oakland, NJ 07436 with 7 years of paid experience

I have been working with children since I was 16 years old from ages 4 months- 12 years old. I grew up as one of the oldest to many cousins and loved going to work with my mother who was a teacher, which is where my passion started. I started babysitting at 16 and have been working in childcare programs since 2019. I started at a daycare in 2019 working with children from age 5 months to 13 years old. I worked at a special needs pre-K for two years and I am now working as a prek teacher’s assistant in an elementary school. I have also part-time worked with a 19-year-old with Rhett syndrome. I enjoy providing engaging activities where children can also learn through play! I have my CPR and first aid certificate. I’m looking for a full-time position and would be available to start mid June. I am looking forward to speaking to you!!
