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 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.

Hello! My name is Josefina, and I am a dedicated, compassionate, and highly experienced professional nanny with over 15 years of providing exceptional childcare to families of all ages. Caring for children has always been more than a career for me—it’s my passion. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Throughout my career, I have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and multiples. I understand that every child is unique, and I tailor my approach to support each child’s developmental, emotional, and educational needs Whether it’s establishing routines, preparing healthy meals, organizing engaging activities, helping with homework, or encouraging social and emotional development, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care every day. I have experience working with busy professional families and understand the importance of being reliable, organized, flexible, and maintaining complete confidentiality I enjoy planning age\-appropriate educational activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping children build confidence, independence, and positive manners. I hold professional childcare certifications, including CPR and First Aid certification, and I remain committed to following the highest safety standards. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. Families describe me as warm, trustworthy, patient, dependable, and nurturing\. I value open communication and work closely with parents to ensure consistency in routines, expectations, and childcare goals. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of a family’s support system and creating meaningful, lasting relationships while helping children reach their fullest potential.

I’ll take the night shift while you get some sleep! Hi! I'm a TV News Producer and mom to two princess-loving toddlers. I stepped away from the TV industry last year to focus on raising my girls (and finally ditch that Manhattan commute)! I have 22 years of childcare experience and I’m a mom, so I know how important it is to find the right person you can trust and rely on to care for your children. I take that responsibility seriously and will always make thoughtful, smart, and quick decisions to ensure your little ones are safe, happy, and thriving. I am also an extension of you — my caregiving style mirrors the way you choose to raise your children, and I am here for support and to provide a helping hand… the kind every mama needs from time to time. A little about me: I grew up in Fair Lawn and now live in Hawthorne with my husband and daughters, where we love being a part of the Hawthorne community. My nurturing nature and desire to help other families has carried with me through more than two decades of working with children, even while managing a full time professional career. Running a newsroom and managing an indoor kids mini golf course for years also helped my organizational and management skills shine — and I can plan a birthday party or major event in my sleep! I have certifications in newborn and infant care, a car with two infant car seats installed just in case, and all background checks are completed and clean. Background checks are renewed every 90 days, so I’m happy to provide you a copy instantly, along with wonderful references and my professional résumé, upon request. I am also happy to make my Instagram (@carasayssmile) public upon request, so you can get a true glimpse into my life beyond this profile!

My son had lots of fun with Cara and is now asking when she will come back to play with him. He warmed up to her immediately, and she handled his mealtime and bedtime routine with ease. Highly recommend!!

Our summer with Suzanne was truly magical. From the moment we interviewed her, I just knew she was the right fit, and she still managed to exceed every expectation. She was incredible with our kids—kind, patient, and able to set gentle boundaries that kept things running smoothly. In the middle of our big, busy family, she jumped right in without hesitation, always helping before I even had to ask. She was hands-on, creative, and had such a warm, intuitive way with the kids that made them feel safe and loved. Her communication with us was wonderful, and she made our summer not only possible but so much more fun. We will absolutely hire her again.

Hi! My name is Janetha Polo, and I’m a 21-year-old college student majoring in Food and Nutrition Science. I have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Development and have worked in a preschool classroom setting since my freshman year of high school. This experience has given me a deep understanding of child development, safety, and age-appropriate learning and play. I have a valid driver’s license, can cook healthy and kid-friendly meals, and have completed a SafeServ certification to ensure safe food handling. While my CPR certification has expired, I have previously been trained and am planning to renew it soon. I’m dependable, caring, and love creating a fun, safe environment for kids to grow and thrive.

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!
