We feel so lucky to have Laila caring for our little one full-time. Being a mom of four herself, her experience shines through in every interaction, but she’s also wonderfully respectful of how we want to raise our child and follows our routines effortlessly. She is incredibly attentive, kind, and always manages to get big smiles out of our baby. Any family would be lucky to have her!

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.

We would definitely recommend Suzanne. We had her help out primarily with a one-year-old, while the parents were around but enjoying a big 40th birthday celebration. Suzanne kept the baby safe when he wanted to explore the pool and keeping him entertained so his parents could enjoy the weekend. She was patient and attentive, and really everything we needed. Thanks, Suzanne!

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!!
Jayden R.

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!
