Laylah S., Nanny in Clifton, NJ 07013 with 16 years of paid experience

Hello! With over 16 years of professional childcare experience, I specialize as an Infant Care Specialist, supporting families through the important early stages of their child's development. My expertise includes infant care, healthy sleep foundations, feeding support, developmental milestones, establishing consistent routines, and creating customized schedules that help both infants and parents thrive. I have extensive experience working with high-net-worth families, providing discreet, professional, and personalized care. I am comfortable supporting dynamic household environments, maintaining confidentiality, collaborating with household staff, and adapting to each family's unique parenting style and lifestyle needs. In addition to infant care, I have significant experience caring for multiple children of varying ages. I excel at creating structure within busy households while ensuring each child receives individualized attention and developmentally appropriate support. My approach is warm, hands-on, and engaging. I encourage learning through play, creativity, outdoor exploration, music, art, cooking activities, and educational outings that foster confidence, curiosity, and independence. Throughout my career, I have accompanied families on domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, seasonal relocations, and extended vacations. Whether providing overnight support, temporary full-time coverage, travel assistance, or short-term care while families search for a permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, reliable support tailored to each family's needs. My background includes leading children's art and theatre programs through YMCA programs in California and Wisconsin. Families consistently describe me as calm, dependable, adaptable, and genuinely invested in their children's well-being and development. I am also happy to assist with children's meal preparation, maintaining routines, bedtime support, and organizing children's spaces. Please note that I have a 5-hour booking minimum. Rates vary based on the age and number of children, scheduling requirements, evenings, overnights, and travel. If you are seeking an experienced Infant Care Specialist who brings warmth, expertise, discretion, and structure to your family, I would be delighted to connect with you.

We are so very grateful for Laylah! We were in from out of town when the the babysitter we had lined up canceled at the very last minute. Left with no options and expensive Broadway tickets, I reached out to Laylah and was immediately comfortable leaving my children with her. Laylah swooped in like a veritable Mary Poppins, and whisked our kids away to have a true NYC experience: Taxi Cabs, photos with transformers, Central Park zoo... Our kids had a great time, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our show! We met up with them afterwards, and the children were full of tales from their adventures, and Laylah sent us myriads of photos. We are so grateful for her professionalism, competence, and easy-going nature-I would recommend her to *anyone*.

Yamelis has been an exceptional nanny for our infant, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. From day one, she has shown genuine warmth, patience, and attentiveness. She is highly reliable, always punctual, and communicates clearly about our baby’s day, including feedings, naps, and milestones. Yamelis creates a calm, nurturing environment that makes our child feel safe and happy. She is knowledgeable about infant development and engages our baby with age-appropriate activities that encourage growth and curiosity. We fully trust her judgment and care. Any family would be lucky to have Yamelis as their nanny.

Amanda N., Nanny in Clifton, NJ 07013 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. Note: I am currently available to provide childcare on Halloween, Indigenous Peoples Day, Veterans Day, and Christmas break 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 to provide care on school holidays, school breaks, weekends, and weekday evenings after 7 pm. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Caring for children is a passion I will continue for as long as I can. 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.

Amanda is an excellent pet sitter, possibly the best I have encountered. She was quick in her responses and put my mind at ease throughout the process with notifications of when she arrived and left my home. My cat seemed very happy in her care and they got along well. I would definitely use Amanda's services again and recommend her to friends. I also appreciated the pics and videos to see how Scout was doing in my absence!

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩‍👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. Most recently, in 2025, I cared for a 5‑month‑old, providing attentive supervision, preparing light snacks, and assisting with light housekeeping. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!
