Jennifer R., Nanny in Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 with 25 years of paid experience

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!

Jenny has been babysitting for my son for about a year. He is now 6 1/2 years old. We love Jenny! He is now also taking piano lessons from here. He is watching me type this and says "I love having piano lessons with her. We love her!" I highly recommend her. She also dog sits for us.

I am highly recommend Sandra R. to anyone needing childcare based on her time working with our family as an after-school caregiver and driver for our son. Sandra was responsible for picking up our 5-year-old son from preschool each weekday and safely transporting him home. From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for our child. Before accepting the position, Sandra requested to meet our family in person, which immediately showed her commitment to ensuring a good fit and establishing trust with both parents and child. Throughout the time she worked with us, Sandra was exceptionally dependable. She was always punctual and, most importantly, she never canceled on us. As working parents, knowing we could count on her every day provided tremendous peace of mind. On the rare occasions when our plans changed unexpectedly, Sandra was flexible and accommodating, making every effort to help us adjust on short notice. Sandra has a natural ability to connect with children. She consistently engaged our son in conversation, making the daily pickup and ride home an enjoyable experience rather than just a transportation service. He looked forward to seeing her each day and was always comfortable in her care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness. In addition to being reliable and caring, Sandra frequently went above and beyond what was expected. On several occasions, she thoughtfully brought homemade food for our family, a gesture that reflected her kindness and generosity. Her warmth and dedication were evident in everything she did. Sandra was always professional, trustworthy, and safety-conscious. Her background in education and extensive childcare experience were apparent in the way she interacted with our child and handled her responsibilities. We always felt confident that our son was in safe and capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra to any family seeking a dependable, caring, and experienced caregiver. She has been a wonderful support to our family, and I am confident she will be an asset to any household fortunate enough to work with her. Sincerely, Craig Pearl River, NY

Stephanie C., Nanny in Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 8am-6pm weekdays (2-4 days only). I am available for a weekend on occasion or special events when discussed in advance. A little about me 😊My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. I am a developmental specialist who is blessed to work remotely with the DOH while being a career nanny over the last 20 years. I have extensive experience with premature infants-8yr olds. Both typical & neuro divergent 🌈and have worked with families of all different cultures/beliefs. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, social, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety & FUN is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. 🍃 I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search- And Enjoy every moment. Your child will never be the age that they are today & those small moments are precious 💎. Don’t compare them to other children & always notice their strengths 💪 for there is only one of them ❤️❤️ 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will at times accompany me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency.

Stephanie became such a special part of our family during the year she worked with us part time. I especially loved being able to bounce ideas off of her about my older child and find ways to encourage a bond between my two children despite their age difference. She gave me an outside perspective that, as a parent, I sometimes needed, and I truly believe she helped me reconnect with my older child in a way that brought us back to the closeness we had when he was little. She was honest, dependable, and so capable of handling whatever needed to be done when I couldn’t. Having her son around, seeing their relationship was such a beautiful example of the kind of relationship I hope to have with my own children as they grow. She really did become family, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any parent, especially one who feels nervous about having a nanny. She is so much more than a nanny.

Alexandra  D., Nanny in Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 with 9 years of paid experience

I love working with children because of their curiosity, energy, and the joy they bring to each day. My experience spans several years in various childcare settings, where I have developed a deep understanding of child development and a knack for creating engaging, nurturing environments that promote learning and growth. What sets me apart from others is my genuine passion for helping children reach their full potential, my patience, and my ability to connect with each child on a personal level. I am dedicated to fostering a safe, positive atmosphere where children feel valued and encouraged to explore their creativity and individuality.

Angelica A., Nanny in Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 with 10 years of paid experience

I’m an experienced childcare professional who has babysat for many families over the years, caring for children from newborns and infants through school age. Because I’ve worked with so many different families and age groups, I’m comfortable stepping into a new household, learning a family’s routines and expectations, and building rapport with children quickly. I previously worked for a babysitting agency providing childcare for families both in their homes and at hotels. This gave me experience working with families I was often meeting for the first time and helped me become very adaptable and confident helping children feel comfortable with a new caregiver. I understand that parents may be leaving their child with someone new, so I make communication, safety, and helping both the child and parents feel at ease a priority. Many of my babysitting relationships have also developed naturally through my professional childcare positions. While working as an after-school educator and coach, several families whose children I worked with began hiring me privately for babysitting. The same happened while I worked at an infant center caring for babies ages 6 weeks to 15 months. I really value that families who saw how I interacted with and cared for their children trusted me to continue caring for them outside of those settings. My broader childcare experience includes working as a full-time nanny, infant teacher, baby nurse at a postpartum resort, ABA therapist, special needs camp counselor, and after-school educator and coach. This has given me experience with everything from feeding, bottles, diapering, soothing, naps, and bedtime routines to play, homework help, outings, and caring for multiple children. I am also EMT certified and previously served for six years as a medic in the U.S. Army. My medical background has provided extensive training in first aid, emergency response, and safety. I’m warm, patient, dependable, and very hands-on with children. One of my strengths is being able to build rapport quickly, which is especially important when babysitting children who may not know me yet. I want children to feel safe and comfortable with me while also having fun, whether we’re playing, reading, doing an activity, or simply following their normal evening routine.

Adama B., Nanny in Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 with 3 years of paid experience

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.
