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.

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.

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!

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!

I am 33 years old with 17 years experience working with children. I have cared for children as young as 3 weeks to 8 years old. 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.

Hi my name is Jeannie and I am a mom of a 14 year old. I presently work for a school district as a 1:1 paraprofessional for a little girl with Down Syndrome. I have worked for the district for the past 7 years. Prior to that I was a stay at home mom. Before I had my son I was a nanny and absolutely loved every second. The only reason I didn’t go back to it was because I needed health benefits. I am both CPR and First Aid certified . I would love for you to consider me😊
