Hi, my name is Elma! I’ve been a nanny for over five years now. I’m currently a nanny to two twin infants. I cared for another family before this one for about four years and watched them grow. Simultaneously, I’ve done one time and part time babysitting jobs during my evenings and weekends, which is what I’m currently seeking for now! If you’re interested, feel free to message me. I graduated from Moravian College in 2021 with my psychology degree. I have experience with childhood psychology education and also just one on one experience from my care as a nanny over the years. I worked at the YMCA as an assistant teacher when I was in college as well!

My name is Nacisha Only and I am a experienced, confident and loving sitter. I've been caring of children since the age of 11 years old when I became the neighborhood sitter due to my maturity and mindset to take care of others. After that I landed my first tax paying job when I was 14 years old working as a camp counselor for Archway dealing with special needs children. I went on to work at group homes caring for developmentally disabled children and adults from 2003 to present. In between I continued to babysit for children with ADHD, Asthma and behavioral issues successfully. In 2007 I started working for the state government agency of Division of Youth & Family Services as an assistant case worker. In this position I had to ensure the safety and well being of all children living in NJ and also all around me no matter where I traveled. This experience has heightened my sensitivity in the correct treatment and care for children and anyone seemingly without a voice. I became an advocate in serving children ensuring a safe, clean and healthy living environment while making sure all necessary resources were in place for that to happen. Due to working in a field witnessing abuse and neglect of children encrypted me with a mindset to always be considerate of others and to treat others the way I want to be treated. To my family, families served and friends I'm a great cook, so cooking any type of food wouldn't be an issue. I'm also the person people seek out to help with children displaying behavioral issues or special needs as I work well with them and can get the most difficult child to become well behaved. God has granted me patience, nurturing heart, compassion, empathy, understanding and the ability to work well with many types of personalities from all kinds. Those who know me accredit me with being persistent, honest, trustworthy, direct, loving, stable minded and easy to talk to and get along with; slow tempered. I do not like confusion so I'm always willing to talk in a non confrontational manner. I really enjoy caring for others and assisting them to achieve many milestones makes me feel honored to have taken part in any facet. I absolutely adore children and appreciate the opportunity to interact with their little personalities. Thank you for viewing my bio!

Heaven D.

My name is Heaven Diaz, and I’m 25 years old, based in Allentown, PA. Working with children has always been my passion. From a young age, I’ve had the opportunity to babysit my younger siblings and cousins, ranging in age from just a few months old to teenagers, so I’m very comfortable with kids of all ages. I also have experience in a daycare setting, where I worked specifically with two-year-olds, and I’m currently employed as an assistant teacher working with preschoolers. I’m looking for part-time work to continue doing what I love—spending time with children, helping them grow, and supporting their development in a caring, friendly, and patient way. I have all the necessary clearances, including background checks, child abuse and NSOR clearances, and I am CPR certified. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your children!

I am an 18 year old who is passionate about teaching and working with kids! I am starting my first year of college and will be pursuing education. I love arts and crafts and had some of my senior artwork displayed in a gallery and my township building. I love incorporating my love for art into working with children by planning hands on activities that interest them. I’ve worked as a camp counselor 3 summers in a row and was able to work with a 1st grade class during my senior year of highschool. I have daycare experience where I am an infant teachers assistant and have helped out in the older rooms. I am CPR and First-Aid certified.

I would love to be a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn and grow. My mom runs a daycare, so I’ve had hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, from changing diapers to planning fun, educational activities. Being around little ones has always felt natural to me, and it’s actually one of the reasons I’m in college now studying to become either a pediatric nurse or a labor and delivery nurse—I haven’t fully decided yet, but I know I want a career focused on helping children and families. Babysitting feels like a perfect fit for me because it combines my experience, my education, and something I truly enjoy doing.
