I became a caregiver due to my love for children, I like working with young kids because of my passion and wanting to watch them mature and grow into something better. I have been watching children since i was 10 with watching my siblings; as years went by I started watching more family members and family-friends kids. So for 8 years I have been babysitting.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with kids and being a positive part of their day. I like creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. It’s really rewarding to build connections with kids and help them learn, grow, and gain confidence. What experience do you have? I have a strong background working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve worked in a preschool with children ages 3–5, have experience babysitting, and taught first grade in Paterson, New Jersey. I’m currently working as a paraprofessional supporting children with special needs, which has given me even more hands-on experience with different learning styles, behaviors, and individualized support. What skills and training do you have? My education is in psychology, and I’m currently in school to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. This has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional support. I’m patient, reliable, and able to adapt to each child’s unique needs. I’m also experienced in creating structure, managing routines, and helping children feel safe, understood, and cared for.

I’m starting school in the fall to become an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). My hours are flexible for school. I was raised by a first responder and safety is my main priority. I’m very good in a crisis or emergency situations. At 13 I started volunteering at my dad fire house. By 17 I joined the department and went through some of the academy training. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I’m the youngest in my family so when my brother started having children I was always one call away. I started nannying at 20 however, I started learning how to care for children since I was 13. I’m very familiar with diaper changes, feeding times, getting the kids engaged in activities as well as errands and picking the kids up from school. I like to give a helping hand with household things as well especially if I have the time. If you need me to prepare a healthy balanced meal, clean, or do a load of laundry I wouldn’t mind. I’m calm, patient and I adjust myself accordingly to the overall energy of the children and the tasks that are laid out for me.

I am a dedicated childcare professional with over 10 years of paid experience as a nanny and babysitter. I provide attentive, safe, and engaging care for children of all ages.

I am ODP certified and have experience working with children and clients with special needs. I also assist families with errands, light organization, and creating a structured, positive environment. I am reliable, patient, and nurturing, and I take pride in being a trusted asset to the families I work with.

I started babysitting way back when I was just 12yrs old. I have a grown son and a teen daughter. While I do not currently work, I have over 16yrs experience as an LPN, primarily as a pediatric and family practice nurse. I live in Belvidere, with my husband and teen daughter. I look forward to becoming a grandmother in August 2026, but my son lives almost 9hrs away.

Hi parents! My name is Maryam and I am a fun, loving, responsible and reliable 24 year old sitter. While I am new to caring for children outside of a center setting, I have 3+ years of experience as a Preschool Assistant Teacher, during which I attained my CDA (Child Development Associate). I am also Adult/Pediatric CPR + First Aid certified, and have completed all my clearances (background checks) relating to childcare. Transportation is not a problem, as I have my own car with a clean driving record. I’m super patient and genuinely enjoy building connections with my kids. My philosophy is that everyday is a great opportunity to show children something new, or practice something learned. I believe imagination should be ignited in each child and kindled by the teamwork of their parent, teacher and childcare provider. I’m here to help support your family and make sure your children are safe, loved, and in an engaging environment so that they may continue to grow. I also get along well with pets :)

Hi, my name is Judy, and at 62 I bring something truly valuable to your family — a lifetime of love, patience, and hands-on experience with children. While I may not have paid nanny experience, I raised three wonderful children of my own: a daughter, now 31, and twin boys, now 23. I poured my whole heart into their upbringing, and that same dedication is exactly what I offer to any child in my care. Beyond my own family, I spent 8 years working in a local elementary school, where I deepened my understanding of children at different stages of development and learned how to connect with them in meaningful ways. I am a team player who believes in open communication with parents. I am loyal, respectful, and always mindful of your family's boundaries and values. When it comes to your children, I am an open book — please feel free to ask me anything. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I would love the opportunity to meet your family.
