Hello, my name is Jocelyn, and I am seeking my next long-term sitter position with a wonderful family. I am a kind, compassionate, and dependable caregiver with 9 years of childcare experience, working with children from newborns through age 15, including children with special needs. I take great pride in being a positive, nurturing presence and a supportive mentor in a child’s life. I am CPR certified and prioritize safety at all times while creating an engaging, structured, and fun environment. My caregiving approach focuses on educational play, age-appropriate activities, and meaningful interaction to support each child’s development, confidence, and well-being. I am comfortable with pets and value building strong, respectful relationships with the families I work with. I believe the best childcare partnerships are built on trust, communication, and mutual compatibility. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I look forward to connecting and finding the right family to grow with long-term.

Jocelyn provided reliable overnight care during 12-hour shifts for our 10-year-old daughter. She was consistently responsible, respectful, and attentive, ensuring our child felt safe and comfortable at all times. In addition to childcare, Jocelyn assisted with light household tasks, including preparing meals, loading the dishwasher, and letting our dog outside as needed. She was dependable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to have in our home. We would confidently recommend her to another family.

Anaya just started working with our family. She is punctual, respectful, and allows space for our daughter to adjust. This the first time that we are hiring a babysitter so leaving our daughter with someone we trust is a must! Anaya had great references who all gave her glowing reviews, is CPR certified, and was upfront about her experience. She has a balanced energy and great patience. We hope to keep her on for as long as we are living in New Jersey. We are very happy to have found a great sitter in Anaya!

It is with a bittersweet heart that I write this review for Debby, who has been more than a nanny to our family since for the past two and a half years. Debby has become an indispensable part of our lives, particularly in the development and nurturing of our son, Neev since he was only 6 months old. From the outset, Debby embraced Neev with a warmth and dedication that is rare to find. Her approach to childcare goes beyond the conventional; she is deeply caring, attentive, and has an innate ability to connect with children at their level. Debby has been instrumental in supporting Neev's every aspect of physical and mental development. Safety has always been Debby's priority, and under her vigilant supervision, Neev has never experienced injury or harm. This peace of mind has been invaluable to us as parents. Moreover, Debby has been incredibly accommodating and diligent about attending all of Neev’s medical appointments, ensuring that he receives the necessary care and interventions without delay. Feeding a picky eater like my son can be a challenge, but Debby has handled this with creativity and persistence, introducing him to a variety of foods and making mealtime an enjoyable and educational experience. Her efforts have significantly improved Neev's eating habits and overall nutrition. Debby's commitment to Neev's growth extends beyond basic care; she incorporates STEM activities into his daily routine, fostering an environment of learning and curiosity. She has enriched Neev’s life with arts and crafts, baking, and a variety of engaging educational experiences that have contributed significantly to his cognitive and emotional development. Beyond her professional capabilities, Debby has shown an immense capacity for empathy and kindness. She has become a cherished member of our family, someone we trust implicitly and respect deeply. Since we are sending our son to preschool, her departure is a significant loss for us, but we are grateful for the immeasurable impact she has had on our lives and especially on Neev’s development. Any family would be fortunate to have Debby as part of their children's lives. She is not only a superb nanny but a wonderful person who brings joy, safety, and learning into the homes she enters. We are deeply thankful for her time with us and wholeheartedly recommend her services. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions you may have regarding her experience with her.

I have an associates and a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education, and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Elementary education. I absolutely love children and consider myself fair, fun and protective. I treat children as I would want my future children to be treated. I enjoy going out to the park, on walks, to the library, or having fun indoors on those rainy days. My master's degree is online, so it should not cause an issue as I am watching your child. I am CPR certified and fingerprinted with the DOE. I can't wait to meet you.

From my first babysitting job when I was a teenager- I have always loved working with kids, watching them grown up and being a part of helping with that growth. I have worked both in the home and in the classroom and use my skills to provide a balance of both play and work for your child. Also by using my artistic & design background I like to create new projects and experience with my kids to help them learn different skills through play and fun! I have mostly worked with children from infancy through kindergarten. However, I do have experience up to the average age of 12. I have a range from being a date-night babysitting to being a classroom aide to living with a family and helping take care of their children. I also have used creative learning through play a lot and have worked extensively with kids with special needs. I hope to find families that could be a great fit and benefit from my experience and bring some fun memories into their lives! ** PLEASE Look at my availability calendar to see the dates and times I am open- however, this can always change so feel free to message me and we can work something out** Thank you!

Tassi was our nanny for a few months for our now 16 month old daughter! She started when she was around a year old. Tassi knew how nervous I was hiring someone to watch our baby and she was absolutely incredible with her. Our daughter got comfortable so quickly with Tassi to my surprise. Even when she was going through a separation anxiety phase and would cling to me, Tassi knew exactly how to handle it and calm her down. They’d play together, go for long walks, and read books which is her favorite. She’s very experienced with little ones which made me way more at ease. She took care of my daughter when she was teething, and even when she was sick. She’s the best! Any family is lucky to have her!

Hi, my name is Chrissi. As a mother of four fantastic kids, I have been through all of the ups and downs of childcare. I have a 25 year old daughter (just finished up her BA @ Howard University where she pitched for the Bison and won the MCAA. She as also completed her masters @ Kean University here in NJ) and now coaches for them. Next are our twin 24yr olds (Pitcher/Catcher @ Centenary University - Criminal Justice & Finance) presently work with my husband as electricians. That leaves my baby who is far from a baby brings up the rear @ 18. She currently attends Donovan where she plays softball and has gotten herself a full ride to Dartmouth. We raise a variety of animals here at home and do lots of crafts and outdoor visits. My Philosophy: Give Respect, You Get Respect I have provided childcare for numerous families in NJ and have experience with many animals/pets. I have reliable transportation as well as a clean drivers license. I am presently updating my first aid and cpr certifications. In my free time which isn’t much, (lol) I take care of my 82 yr old Mom, entertain family n friends & I love to cook! I’m also not afraid to get wet or dirty nor am I afraid of children that tend to try and rule the roost. Life is short and as such it’s best just to see a child smile 😊
