Find local child care providers in Tenafly, NJ

Hi, my name is Taina and I am an NYU Tandon School of Engineering 2020 graduate in Biomolecular Science. I am a pre-med school medical student studying to become a doctor and biomedical engineer. I have a lot of experience with babysitting/tutoring, being from Queens, N.Y. I was always babysitting/tutoring young boys and girls as young as a newborn ages all the way up to the age of 15. I love children and being a babysitter allows me to form a connection with kids and gives me a good sense of what it means to be a caretaker and provider for my future profession in the medical career. I hope to one day become a pediatrician and serve the coming generations of our future. I am a Licensed Emergency Medical Technician and I’m extremely knowledgeable in my field. I am very patient and responsible and if you have any more questions for me I am always happy to answer them. My hourly rate is also negotiable based on family size and responsibilities. Thank you so much and have an amazing day!

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Amanda! I am a currently a freelance pet sitter, and babysitter of 10 plus years. As a New York Native I know how to navigate through the MTA system and the neighborhoods of each borough. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and a non-smoker. I am currently available for part time work, occasional care, one time jobs, overnight care, date nights, school vacations, and holidays. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Although, I’m pursing a degree in animal science in the future, caring for children is something I’ll always continue to do. I love getting to know children, watching them grow, and supporting their important milestones. Along with my childcare experience, I have 10 years of experience working as a pet sitter. My dream is to open a pet care, and babysitting company. Why not both! I have been caring for children since the age of 12. I started babysitting my younger brother at a young age, as I grew older I transitioned into caring for my younger cousins, and working as a babysitter/nanny. In addition, I have experience caring for children with ADHD, ADD, & Anxiety. Since 2019, I have worked with Camp Shiloh as a Counselor in Training, Mentor, and Volunteer. I was also a Camper there for several years as a kid, and it’s one of my the few places I call home. A fun fact about me, I love Harry Potter, and comic books. Some of the fun things I love to do with children are making art, building blocks, engaging in activities around the city, read books, dancing, baking, playing board games, going to parks, playing sports, playing with toys & more. In my free time I like to swim, skateboard, listen to music, learn new things, write, and ground myself in nature. Children love me as their babysitter because I’m empathetic, open minded, committed, and pretty funny. Your child’s safety is my upmost importance, and of course having fun. References can be provided. I wear masks at all times, and I carry hand sanitizer with me. Note: I am aware I have a two star review, if you would like to know more about why that review is on my page I am more than happy to explain the situation. Unfortunately, the parent never had the chance to meet nor interview me.

Hi my name is Brandi, I have five years of experience working with children ranging from toddlers to 12 years old. As a person, I consider myself to be fun, creative, and energetic. My favorite aspect of working with children is teaching them how to grow into wonderful individuals while allowing them to be independent at the same time. I enjoy singing, jumping, painting, laughing at silly jokes, and many other activities. If permitted, I enjoy introducing children to other cultures. Additionally, I considered myself to be friendly, patient, calm, respectful, and alert. The care of children is of the utmost importance to me.

I love being a sitter because it allows me to make a positive impact on children's lives while fostering their growth and creativity. Watching them explore the world, learn new things, and develop their personalities is incredibly rewarding. I find joy in creating fun, engaging activities that not only entertain but also support their development.

Hi parents! I’ve been babysitting and nannying for 10 years and truly love what I do. I first started in college after connecting with local parents through my daycare position - and I’ve been lucky to build lasting relationships with many amazing families ever since. While I’m originally from New Jersey and have worked with families across my community there, I’ve recently moved to Manhattan and I’m excited to connect with new families here! Over the years, I’ve done everything from short-term babysitting and long-term nannying to being a go-to sitter for regular date nights. I have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and feel especially comfortable with bedtime routines, story time, and light dinner prep. I especially enjoy weekend sitting and date nights (my personal specialty!). I’m also happy to help with weekday evening coverage if parents need time to run errands or take a breather. I’m CPR certified and infant first-aid certified, and I have experience caring for children with allergies, including administering EpiPens. Lastly but certainly not least, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative - I always keep parents well informed about my availability. I know how important it is to have a reliable person watch over your little ones and will always do my best to avoid last minute cancellations. References available upon request - I’d love to get to know your family! AVAILABILITY UPDATE: I’ve recently been booked by a wonderful family for most weeknights and weekend days until 8 PM. Currently, my only set availability is Fridays after 3 PM. That said, I’m still happy to help with occasional date nights or one-off sitting opportunities if I happen to have a day off (feel free to reach out and check!). I’ll be sure to update my profile if my schedule changes. Thank you for your understanding!

I have 24 years of professional childcare and early childhood education experience. I am truly passionate about protecting, guiding, and nurturing children. As the oldest of 6 siblings, I assisted my mother in caring for my younger siblings. I often cared for up to 5 younger cousins at a time in addition to my younger siblings. My first professional babysitting position was when I was 14 years old. My first nanny position was from ages 17-19, it was a live in position. I implement a love of music, arts and crafts, and outdoor play in my caregiving approach. I am honest, responsible, warm, and patient. I regularly recertify in both CPR and first aid. I am pursuing my goal of entering law school, I intend to become a family law attorney.

Hello wonderful family, My name is Joelle, and I am an seasoned babysitter and early-childhood educator of 7+ years. With my diverse work experiences as a babysitter, lead pre-k teacher, nanny and more I can certainly attest to the popular phrase - "actions speak louder than words" ! I strive to teach this to children of all ages in my care through mindful play that encourages language development and self-expression. Growing up in a large African-American and Filipino-American family has taught me to be highly family-oriented and hard-working. My upbringing has also helped me instill a passion for learning about different cultures, languages and religions. I am currently a beginner Spanish speaker with hopes to use the language more often on my travels and at work. One of my fondest moments as an educator was watching one of my 3 year-old students, Sitora, describe her drawing of a butterfly to me with her hands. She made the shape of a butterfly with her two palms together, and fluttered her fingers to me when I could not understand what was in her drawing during class. I was completely blown away in that moment! In addition to my experiences working at daycare centers and preschools, I have been entrusted to the children of my family members, as well as the children of family friends and referrals since the age of 16. I especially enjoy helping little ones express themselves through art and dance, and preparing nutritious meals for them whenever needed. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to learning more about your children’s needs and working with your family to help them grow! Best Regards, Joelle Middleton Early Childhood Educator (929)595-0132
