*I am no longer able to commit to long or short term babysitting. *I am available for occasional babysitting and arranged babysitting day by day. Hello families, I have worked with children from infants to 16 years of age for over 15 years. I currently work with children with delays and special needs in Early Intervention and other agencies for the past 10 years. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Traveling, walking, hiking, reading, swimming, and being outdoors with family and friends are what I really enjoy doing in my free time. *Allergic to cats

Hi, I’m Mel! I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny or babysitting position and will be available to start with one month’s notice. I’m based near Linden and open to positions within about 8 miles (excluding Staten Island). I’m 29, CPR/First Aid certified, and have over 13 years of experience in babysitting and nannying. My experience includes caring for infants, working as a mother’s helper, and caring for multiple children, including twins. I’m very comfortable with energetic kids and enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment through activities like arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. I’m reliable, punctual, and naturally attentive, and I take pride in making both children and parents feel supported and at ease. My rate starts at $24/hour and increases by $2 for each additional child. If driving is required, gas reimbursement is expected. I offer paid trial days at $23/hour. References are available upon request. I do require a one-month notice before transitioning to a new position, to ensure the family I’m currently working with has enough time to find a replacement caregiver. I’m available for video, phone, or in-person interviews. Looking forward to connecting!

I'm a certified teacher with a Master's degree and five years of classroom experience (grades 3-8), plus substitute teaching across grade levels and subjects. I'm currently a homeschooling mom to my 5-year-old and caring for my 21-month-old. I offer reliable evening, weekend, and occasional weekday morning care. I have extensive experience supporting children from newborns through high school and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids doing what they love - reading stories, building with blocks or Legos, exploring outside, making crafts, singing songs, dancing, or diving into imaginative play. I aim to create a calm, warm, and joyful environment where children feel seen, heard, and cared for. I also offer academic tutoring, including reading intervention, writing support, homework help, and enrichment for elementary and middle school students. I'm comfortable helping out with pets and have my own car. My references are happy to share their experiences!

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!
