Kyala R., Nanny in Lionshead Lake, NJ 07470 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm a college student studying to become a teacher. I've been working with children for many years. I started out at 17 working as a camp counselor at a summer camp, then gradually started assisting and teaching at schools. I recently stop working in the schools and became a full time sitter to continue my studies in teaching. I'm the second oldest of six children so there's a ton of patience I maintained lol. I'm kind, reliable and make sure the children have the best time in my care.

I couldn’t ask for a better babysitter for my son. She is loving, attentive, and incredibly patient. My son adores her, and it’s such a relief knowing he’s safe, happy, and well taken care of. She’s dependable, communicates well, and always goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!

We are so lucky to have Laila care for our 3-month-old baby girl! She is very warm and kind. She was able to quickly soothe my baby and help her fall asleep for a nap. Our baby felt so safe and comfortable sleeping in her arms. It's obvious that Laila is highly experienced with infants. She is truly an amazing nanny, and I highly recommend her!

Hello! My name is Sharon, and I am an enthusiastic and experienced babysitter currently working in a school. I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth while creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I live in Little Ferry, I am 30 years old, and I speak both Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children, from infants to preschoolers, including 5 years as a teacher’s assistant in a school program and 3 years as a full-time nanny. I hold a CDA (Child Development Associate) certificate, CPR training, and an Associate degree. During the school year, I work Monday through Friday, and I enjoy working with families on weekends and occasionally whenever extra help is needed. Starting in June, I will be available for a more consistent position with a family. I truly love working with children. My goal is always to care for them, guide them, and support their development according to their age. Creating a space where they feel safe, happy, and excited to learn is my mission. I would be happy to provide references upon request.

We were in NJ to visit family for a week over the holidays, and Sharon watched our boys (ages 3.5 and 1.5) for about 8 hours almost every day we were there. She was absolutely wonderful for our boys. She showed up exactly on time each day with a contagiously bright and positive energy. We were limited to indoor activities, and even still, Sharon kept our boys busy and happy all day. We did have some arts and crafts supplies ready, as well as some toys, but she also came prepared with activities. She was communicative, patient, and very loving to our boys. My wife was in bed sick all week, but she was able to rest in peace knowing that Sharon was with our boys. It’s very apparent that she is experienced in being with children and intuiting their needs. We hope to work with Sharon many more times in the future!

Stephanie C., Nanny in Lionshead Lake, NJ 07470 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 8am-6pm M-Th. Fridays I hold meetings and 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.

Alice B., Nanny in Lionshead Lake, NJ 07470 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Alice, and I’m 26 years old. I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, starting as a volunteer at my church and later working as a babysitter and tutor. My journey with childcare began at 17 in a daycare, caring for infants. While pursuing my degree in English and Literature, I worked as an assistant teacher in both elementary and high school settings, gaining valuable experience with toddlers to teenagers. I was also an au pair for one year, where I had the opportunity to live with am American host family and care for their 5-months-old boy. Since completing the au pair program in mid-2023, I’ve been working as a nanny in Manhattan. I have a deep passion for helping children grow and learn, and I always approach my work with patience, kindness, and compassion. I treat every child as if they were my own. As a native Portuguese speaker, I am fluent in English and also have a good command of Spanish and French. I love incorporating music into my time with children, as I’ve been singing and playing guitar since I was 4 years old. I enjoy engaging children in educational games and activities that stimulate their creativity and development. I am organized, calm, and flexible, and I believe in providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. I would love to share my skills and passions with your family, and I look forward to learning from your children as well!

Alice was wonderful! She came to help out with our baby and toddler for an evening. My baby doesn’t normally like strangers but took to her immediately. She is warm and engaging, and brought her ukulele and sang to them. They had a great time. We would definitely have her back in the future.
