Djane M., Nanny in Closter, NJ 07624 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi Parents, My name is Djane. I have experience caring for both infants and toddlers, and I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and easygoing. I bring a positive and energetic attitude to my work, and I value creating a calm, nurturing space where children feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Being around kids genuinely brings me joy. I love planning fun and age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, going to the park, and encouraging curiosity through play and exploration. I’m also very comfortable with pets and have no restrictions or allergies. I’m looking for a family where I can build a strong, trusting relationship and become a reliable and supportive presence in your daily routine.

Djane worked full time for us watching our 1 year old son. She was very caring and listened to what our family needed and integrated into his routine smoothly. She took him out, made playdates, and kept our house organized by putting things away and cleaning up during naptime. I'd highly recommend her.

Lina maria R., Nanny in Closter, NJ 07624 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Lina and I am currently seeking a childcare position (30 hours/week, Monday–Wednesday full days) starting September 2026. Before coming to the United States, I gained experience caring for babies and children in Colombia. Since then, for two years, I was an Au Pair with a family, taking care of their two girls (ages 2 and 6). I also spent a year caring for a 4-year-old girl, and most recently, I cared for a baby girl from the time she was 4 months old until she turned 1. I’m now looking for a new position because she is transitioning to daycare. As a full-time caregiver, I have handled everything related to the children in my care, including: following sleep schedules, nap and bedtimes, changing diapers and potty training, bottle and meal preparation, bathtime, and taking them to classes and scheduling playdates with other nannies. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and babies, and I truly love watching them grow, it’s one of the most rewarding parts of this work for me. I have additional experience working with various families as a babysitter, from infants to school-age kids. I am a patient, responsible, and trustworthy person who enjoys working with children, learning about them, and helping them grow. I pride myself on being committed to my work. I am reliable and dedicated to creating a nurturing, safe, and loving environment for the children I care for. I am also CPR certified and happy to provide references upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with a new family starting in September!

Lina has been with living with us as our auPair for the past two years, and I can say she is nothing short of exceptional! She is loving, caring, patient, responsible, and trustworthy. She truly enjoys working with children, to learn about them and help them grow. She has extensive childcare experience with babies, toddlers and children. She is a wonderful caregiver, during her time looking after our 2 girls, she adapted her role and responsibilities as they grew: she managed sleep schedules, nap and bedtimes, changed diapers and potty trained. She was in charge of bottle and meal preparation, meal schedules, bathtime, taking them to classes and scheduling playdates with other nannies, etc. Lina is also great at cooking, and always prepared nutritious and balanced meals for our kids. Lina is committed, very punctual, reliable, great with feedback and CPR certified. We are heartbroken to see her go, but we know her next family will be lucky to have her!

My name is Jenny, and there are 2 things I love in this world the most - children and music! I am an opera singer, mom and music teacher, and have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old for neighborhood families, and then supported myself through college and graduate school with part time nanny positions. I also teach young kids to sing and play the piano. I am very responsible, caring and encouraging. I've raised 3 babies of my own who are school age now, and I have more free time. I'd love to be a part of your family's life!

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.

A bit about myself: I graduated from CUNY Lehman College. I am getting my master's at Teachers College in Early Childhood Education. I am bilingual- English & Spanish. I have 5 years of experience working with age groups of 6 months to 13 years old.

I am a Dreamer Alumni and I participate on their Alumni Council in the communications committee. I also volunteer as their Social Media Manager. I have experience in Higher Education as well. I really enjoy building lasting relationships and helping children of all ages grow academically and socially. I strongly value student engagement and providing valuable resources. I’ve done 3 years of private babysitting and tutoring in the Upper West Side and Upper East Side for all ages. I was born and raised in the Upper West Side.

Hi, I’m Adama! I’m a full-time finance student and CPR & First Aid certified, currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting (evenings, weekends, date nights, or short shifts). I have 3–4 years of childcare experience, including caring for children in both home and program settings. I previously worked as a youth mentor with So Shell Butterflies (HANAC) and provided care for a family with three children ages 3–12. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I enjoy keeping children engaged through play, homework help, and outdoor activities. I adapt easily to each family’s routines and prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m best suited for families looking for a responsible, dependable sitter rather than full-time childcare. I look forward to supporting families who need flexible, quality care.
