I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! She has been with our family for the past two years and has been an incredible caregiver to our boys. She is kind, loving, dependable, and truly cares about them. She keeps them active, engaged, and always on the go—whether it’s trips to the park, sports, music classes, playdates, or other fun adventures. She drives them wherever they need to go and is always keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind especially for two working parents! Sandy has had such a positive impact on our youngest, who is now 2½. Thanks to her, he speaks and understands so much Spanish! More than anything, she has built such a genuine, loving relationship with both of our boys and treats them as if they were her own. They adore her! Any family would be lucky to have her!

Alexandra W., Nanny in Edison, NJ 08817 with 2 years of paid experience

I always loved working with children from a young age. Before I was old enough to babysit I was a mothers helper to learn all that involved with caring for a child. I have babysat dozens of families and still continue to. I started small in my community and from glowing references I expanded outside my community. Not only do I love to babysit and nanny, I also love to teach children. I gained a lot of babysitting opportunities through my tutoring. I am CPR certified and First Aid. I used to be a life guard so I am qualified to watch children in the water.

Alex has truly been amazing with our 2 boys! She babysat for us for date nights most of the summer, we will miss her very much when she goes back to school. The boys absolutely love her and are always very excited when she comes to babysit. She is organized, very sweet, always cleans up after them and outs everything away, is very good with the schedule we provide, punctual, respectful and overall one of the best babysitters we have ever had. We cannot wait for her return from school next summer.

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.

Esmina O., Nanny in Edison, NJ 08817 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! My name is Esmina! I have over 7 years of experience in professional care plus a little over 5 years of my own as I have a beautiful daughter who just turn 5 in April. Before having my daughter, I was a mother’s helper to an awesome family in Long Island, NY. My position was a mix of everything! I picked up the kids from school, drove them to doctors appointments, play dates and extracurricular activities. I ran errands such as pharmacy trips and grocery shopping. I took the kids from the time they got home from school until bedtime as we had a solid bedtime routine. Laundry was done, folded and put away at least 2x per week as well. I love to cook so I made the family dinner every night and the kids loved it when I cooked! They also became interested and wanted to help me 😊. I enjoy what I do and love being around children… when you’re a parent they become your whole world. The mama bear instincts are there and I would care for yours as if they were mine! Look forward to meeting you!
