Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 7am-5/6pm M-Th. Friday mornings and an occasional evening for date nights, as nights and weekends is dedicated to my child/family. 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. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. 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, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety 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 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with 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. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.

Stephanie is an absolute gem! I had her watch my infant while I worked in office, and she was a lifesaver. She is intuitive and proactive. My baby is usually tough with new people, but she was calm and happy with her instantly. She turned a potentially stressful day into a peaceful one and even shared some great tips on infant care. If you are looking for someone professional who truly understands babies, I cannot recommend Stephanie enough.

Hi, I’m Mel! I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny or babysitting position and will be available to start with one month’s notice. I’m based near Linden and open to positions within about 8 miles (excluding Staten Island). I’m 29, CPR/First Aid certified, and have over 13 years of experience in babysitting and nannying. My experience includes caring for infants, working as a mother’s helper, and caring for multiple children (in daycares as well), including twins. I’m very comfortable with energetic kids and enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment through activities like arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. I’m reliable, punctual, and naturally attentive, and I take pride in making both children and parents feel supported and at ease. My rate starts at $24/hour and increases by $1 for each additional child. I offer paid trial days at $23/hour. References are available upon request. I do require a one-month notice before transitioning to a new position, to ensure the family I’m currently working with has enough time to find a replacement caregiver. I’m available for video, phone, or in-person interviews. Looking forward to connecting!

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!

As a first-time mom to a 3-month-old baby, finding someone I truly trust with my son was incredibly important. From the moment we met, Vanessa put me at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and obvious experience caring for infants. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and wonderful with babies. She was attentive to my son’s needs, followed instructions carefully, and handled every situation with confidence and patience. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys working with children and takes her responsibilities seriously. One thing that was especially important to our family is that we have two dogs, and she was completely comfortable around them as well. She interacted with both our infant and our pets naturally and respectfully, making her a great fit for our household. As a parent, peace of mind is priceless, and she gave me exactly that. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a dependable, caring, and experienced nanny, especially for infant care. Anyone would be lucky to have Vanessa care for their child!

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.

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. Most recently, in 2025, I cared for a 5‑month‑old, providing attentive supervision, preparing light snacks, and assisting with light housekeeping. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!
