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!

Miss Stephanie has been wonderful with our kids! Our oldest has been with her since age 2, and our youngest since around 6 months. They are almost 5 and 3 now. The love and care Miss Steff has shown have far exceeded our expectations, and both children have flourished because of it. Miss Steff provides a thoughtful, personal, well-rounded experience for our kids. She carefully selects educational activities for them which have helped to develop their language and math skills, and has also helped strengthen their activities of daily living. Miss Steff is flexible and understanding to the max. She never appears flustered or frustrated, instead approaching each situation with a steady sense of calm and reassurance that helps the kids maintain the same. We couldn’t be more pleased with our kids’ experience in her care!

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!

Mel has worked with my now 3 year old for a few months. My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and Mel did a terrific job with making her feel more comfortable. I highly recommend Mel and will definitely call her again down the line if I need her help.

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.

If someone had told me before becoming a mom that the person I hired would change my life, I probably wouldn't have believed them. As a single mom, I've always been independent. I've built my career, handled everything on my own, and have always prided myself on figuring things out. Then I had my daughter, and for the first time in my life I questioned whether I could actually be successful at both being a mom and continuing to thrive in my career. It was a feeling I wasn't used to, and honestly one that was really hard for me. I originally hired Stephanie part time to help me through those first few months with my newborn. I wanted support with sleep, routines, milestones, and just adjusting to life with a baby until she was around six months old and starting solids. What I got was so much more than that. Stephanie has this calm about her that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay. She never waited to be told what to do. She saw what needed to be done before I even realized it myself. Her background in social services really shows because she understands people just as much as she understands babies. She didn't just help me care for my daughter. She helped me become the kind of mom I wanted to be while also helping me feel like I didn't have to give up the career I had worked so hard to build. She helped me create routines, organize my life, and somehow always knew exactly what I needed, even on the days I couldn't put it into words myself. It's honestly hard to describe what Stephanie's role was because calling her a nanny doesn't even come close. She walked into my life during one of the biggest transitions I've ever gone through and gave me the confidence to believe I could do both. She wasn't just helping with my baby. She was helping me. I can honestly say I don't know what those first six months would have looked like without her. She became such an important part of our lives, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for my daughter, but even more for what she did for me. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Stephanie. She is one of those people who leaves things better than she found them, and I know she'll have the same impact wherever she goes next.

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!
