Londyn G.
- 20 years paid experience
- 8 miles
Hello Families, My name is Londyn and I am full time nanny (during the weekdays) and a student studying Pediatric Nuclear Medicine. 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 am a caring and nurturing person, and children have always felt comfortable near me. 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.

Londyn is nothing short of amazing. She babysat my daughter from ages 3 months to 3 years, and is attentive, caring , kind and goes above in beyond in every aspect. My daughter was a nursing baby, and Londyn was amazing in communication around her needs while in her care. Highly recommend.

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'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.

Personally I am a very friendly person and a college student. Currently enrolling to become a nurse I like to take care of people and mostly kids being a older sister I have the patience and understand single moms and married couples with needing help for their loved ones. I will do the work of babysitting just because its something I like to do. I understand the economy is down and most families will not be able to pay high but I will be negotiable and understand. I would like to help for weekend babsitting and help families out.

Lizzy was very responsive to us and very kind to our boy. She made sure there was everything to know about our 22 month old and she delivered on her promise of taking care of him. Sadly this was a one time thing since we are not from NJ. If otherwise I would definitely hire her as our regular nanny. Hopefully next time we visit NJ she’ll be around.

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.

Jayden R.
- 4 years paid experience
- 13 miles
Hi! My name is Jayden, and I’m a dedicated childcare professional graduating this spring with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology at Mercy University. I will be attending Seton Hall University for my Masters of Arts in School Counseling, this Fall. I’ve always been passionate about child development, and my academic background in Social & Behavioral Sciences, along with hands-on experience across a range of educational and therapeutic settings, allows me to support children’s unique needs in a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages—from Pre-K through middle school—in a variety of roles. I currently serve as a Teacher’s Aide for children in grades 3-5 in the Scarsdale School District, specifically in a special education ABA setting within a public elementary school, and I also have worked part-time as an ABA Behavioral Technician, where I support children on the autism spectrum with individualized behavior and communication plans. My previous experience includes roles in special education classrooms, after-school childcare programs, day camps, and mental health internship settings. I’m certified in Autism Education, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention, and Pediatric CPR/First Aid through Heartsaver. Whether I’m leading an arts and crafts activity, supporting emotional regulation, or helping with homework and daily routines, I approach every interaction with patience, empathy, and positivity. I’m particularly experienced in working with children who have IEPs or behavior intervention plans, and I believe in building trust with both kids and parents to ensure the best care possible. I bring structure, creativity, and a deep respect for each child’s individuality. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about kids, I’d love to meet your family!

What a pleasure it was meeting Jayden and working with him! He was super communicative/responsive/generous throughout the hiring process, even when I requested an interview and references! He was very responsible (arrived 45 minutes early and stayed an hour late!). We were coming in from out of town for a wedding, and Jayden jumped right into the fray with my infant (5 week old), 2.5 year old and almost four year old. He was there with my parents; sometimes caregivers in this situation do not know how to be helpful and just sit around waiting to be told what to do- not Jayden! He was warm, friendly, took initiative, took suggestions well, and stepped up effortlessly when my kiddos were having trouble following directions. He changed diapers, played well, and helped with meal prep/clean up. We look forward to working with him again soon!

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!
