Laylah S., Nanny in Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 with 16 years of paid experience

Hello! With over 16 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a deep passion for child development along with the professionalism and flexibility to support high-profile, domestic and international families. I specialize in caring for infants, with a strong focus on sleep training, feeding routines, and daily schedules. Often with infant and school-age children, — supporting multiple children across different ages. I’m known for creating calm, engaging, and enriching environments where children thrive emotionally, socially, and creatively. My style is hands-on, warm, and imaginative. I love involving children in outdoor play, creative art projects, theatre games, children's cooking lessons, and music appreciation—offering thoughtful, developmentally appropriate alternatives to screen time. Whether it’s an afternoon in the park or discovering a new museum, I believe in learning through exploration and joy. Over the years, I’ve supported families during domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, and temporary relocations. Whether you need support for a weekend, a full day, overnight, or longer-term coverage while you search for the perfect permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, professional, discreet, high-standard tailored to your family’s lifestyle. I’ve led children’s art and theatre programs in California and Wisconsin (YMCA art programs) and have consistently received glowing feedback for my calm presence, reliability, and genuine love for children. I’m happy to assist with light cooking, routines, bedtime, and stepping in whenever life demands extra hands. Please note: I have a 5-hour booking minimum. Rates vary depending on infant care, number of children, weekday, weekend, and evening needs. I’m open to short-term bookings, temporary full-time, weekends, and travel, depending on availability. If you're seeking a kind, trustworthy, and experienced caregiver who brings warmth, structure, and creativity to your child’s day—I’d love to connect.

We are so very grateful for Laylah! We were in from out of town when the the babysitter we had lined up canceled at the very last minute. Left with no options and expensive Broadway tickets, I reached out to Laylah and was immediately comfortable leaving my children with her. Laylah swooped in like a veritable Mary Poppins, and whisked our kids away to have a true NYC experience: Taxi Cabs, photos with transformers, Central Park zoo... Our kids had a great time, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our show! We met up with them afterwards, and the children were full of tales from their adventures, and Laylah sent us myriads of photos. We are so grateful for her professionalism, competence, and easy-going nature-I would recommend her to *anyone*.

Hello! I am looking for a full time position as I transition from working for the Department of Education.

I am an older sister, we have an 9 year gap which, of course, deemed me her personal (un)official babysitter. I also have both professional and personal experience with infants. I also lived with a close family and was closely involved in caring for her twin infants during their first 18 months, supporting and implementing routines and development. I am comfortable and connect with all ages. I love parks, museums, and anything outdoors! I am open to answer any questions so we can get to know each other further.

Yamelis has been an exceptional nanny for our infant, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. From day one, she has shown genuine warmth, patience, and attentiveness. She is highly reliable, always punctual, and communicates clearly about our baby’s day, including feedings, naps, and milestones. Yamelis creates a calm, nurturing environment that makes our child feel safe and happy. She is knowledgeable about infant development and engages our baby with age-appropriate activities that encourage growth and curiosity. We fully trust her judgment and care. Any family would be lucky to have Yamelis as their nanny.

Samantha F., Nanny in Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 with 7 years of paid experience

I have been working with children since I was 16 years old from ages 4 months- 12 years old. I grew up as one of the oldest to many cousins and loved going to work with my mother who was a teacher, which is where my passion started. I started babysitting at 16 and have been working in childcare programs since 2019. I started at a daycare in 2019 working with children from age 5 months to 13 years old. I worked at a special needs pre-K for two years and I am now working as a prek teacher’s assistant in an elementary school. I have also part-time worked with a 19-year-old with Rhett syndrome. I enjoy providing engaging activities where children can also learn through play! I have my CPR and first aid certificate. I’m looking for a full-time position and would be available to start mid June. I am looking forward to speaking to you!!

I have experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. Some of my childcare responsibilities includes but not limited to: encouraging/assisting children in reaching their age-appropriate development milestones; organizing/hosting playdates, snack/meal prep, kitchen/play area clean-up, homework help, read to/with children; kept children engaged in their interests, played with and did fun activities like arts & crafts; Drs. appointments, trips to the park, zoo, museum and libraries.

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.
