Hi! My name is Chloe, I am a 25 year old nursing student looking for a job in child care. I grew up in a large family as the oldest daughter, naturally giving my siblings that second-mom bonus. I absolutely love working with children, helping them in any way I can! I have experience working with infants to teens and those with disabilities. I also have 6 years of experience as a beach lifeguard giving me most of my qualifications (CPR, first aid & AED certs). I am excited to get to know both you & your kids, hoping to make an impact in your family's life!

Margarita H., Nanny in Lakewood, NJ 08701 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Jonna, though I also go by “Yana.” I am 25 years old and currently an undergraduate Criminal Justice student at Monmouth University. My long-term goal is to pursue a career in federal or private-sector law enforcement, which has strongly shaped my sense of responsibility, ethics, and care for others. I have extensive experience working with both children and the elderly. From 2019 to 2022, I relocated from Virginia to New Jersey to be a full-time caregiver for my grandfather, who was living with Parkinson’s disease and later entered hospice care. This experience deeply strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to handle responsibility in emotionally and physically demanding situations. I am CPR certified, trained in First Aid, and also have Wilderness First Aid experience. Safety is always a top priority for me. My interest in babysitting comes from the positive impact my own babysitters had on me growing up. They treated me with fairness, structure, and compassion. having these consistent and caring role models made a lasting difference in who I am today. I strive to provide that same supportive presence for the children I care for. I strongly believe in limiting excessive screen time and encouraging children to develop healthy coping skills, creativity, and self-expression. I enjoy engaging kids in hands-on activities, outdoor play, and experiences that foster curiosity and confidence. I am very comfortable helping with homework, teaching basic life skills (such as cleaning up after themselves, manners, and empathy), and adapting to diverse learning styles and developmental needs, including disabilities. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with side tasks such as light cleaning, grocery runs, dog walking, and household organization. Much of my childcare experience began in Virginia, where I worked with Girl Scouts and was a sailing instructor. These roles taught me leadership, teamwork, and how to guide children in both structured and adventurous environments. I genuinely enjoy being a positive role model and a reliable support system for families. Helping care for children and contributing to a household is something I view as a privilege, and I sincerely look forward to offering a helping hand to you and your child or children.

Margarita was great to my son Evan, she really made an effort to get him outside and active. She’s reliable, patient, and communicates day and night in case of last-minute requirements. Margarita also kept our home nice and tidy whenever my wife and I returned. Evan gets very excited whenever she comes to sit. We got very lucky when we found her, and would highly recommend!

JoAnna watched my two boys for many years, 10-20 hours a week. She is reliable, warm, calm, playful, happy. Great with babies - she watched my youngest from when he was a few weeks until he was 3. A few times she stayed over night with us. She also was great about cleaning and organizing the kids toys and clothes, and she kept the kitchen really clean. She prepped their dinners, and lunches for schools. Huge huge help, I love her!

Alissa F., Nanny in Lakewood, NJ 08701 with 32 years of paid experience

With over 32 years of experience caring for children of all ages and managing a household, I bring both deep maternal wisdom and professional reliability to every family I support. Having raised my own children and now grandchildren, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and supported. As a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher, I enjoy incorporating gentle movement, breathing, and mindfulness practices that help children develop focus, self-awareness, and emotional balance. I believe in fostering connection through creativity, play, and communication — and in working closely with parents as a team to ensure the best care possible. I am CPR certified, highly dependable, and known for creating peaceful, organized, and joyful spaces for children to grow. I’m currently seeking a long-term position with a family who values kindness, stability, and mindful living.

Mary T., Nanny in Lakewood, NJ 08701 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Mary and I am a very patient, kind, experienced and mature child care giver that has worked with every age up through elementary school age. I have cared for both boys and girls and even had 2 separate jobs taking care of multiples that gave me a great ability to multi task! In the past 5 years, I have helped out with several families caring for both boys and girls from ages 4mos up to 4 1/2 yrs old. This experience comes with a background of assisting potty training and transitioning babies from bottles to solid foods. I did have success helping with 2 girls in potty training and did gain experience in helping 'pickier eaters' in their toddler years. My past positions only ended for the children to start pre-school, however I still help out a couple of those families when they have a school holiday or the child is home sick. My schedule has recently opened up so I would love to bring my experience to a new family, whether it was on a regular basis a few days per week or even as needed. I always incorporate learning at every opportunity no matter child's age and am great at being creative for playtime. I maintain safety as my #1 priority but find its helpful to always keep a sense of humor. I am just over the age of 50 which means i am not glued to my phone and feel that i have found a great balance of being always engaged in what the child is doing while also allowing them to explore their independence which is so important to a small child. I have had experience caring for school age children but also love being a witness to a baby's early years and seeing them achieve new developemental milestones. That is such a fun time- especially seeing how proud of themselves they are!I have always believed that a love for books can begin at any age even if they just start by wanting to put the books in their mouths. Lol! I would love to start a new PT job as a sitter, nanny, or mother's helper and am comfortable with parents working in or out of their home. I am in northern ocean co. with a clean DL and my own car and am covid-19 and flu vaccinated. I am able to provide several references from previous child care jobs. My schedule right now is flexible, however I prefer daytime (especially mornings) unless the parent needs an occasional evening helper. I am very reliable and open to last minute changes in sched's that pop up. Please msg me if you'd like any more info! Thanks! -Mary
