Stephanie C., Nanny in Ridgewood, NJ 07450 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.

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.

Mutsumi M., Nanny in Ridgewood, NJ 07450 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello, families. I am a retired kindergarten and elementary school teacher. Spending time with children is not only my favorite activity, but also my passion. I’m a humorous mother who values independence, both for myself and my children. I would love to share my experience as both a teacher and a mother with parents who are currently in need of parenting support.

Mutsumi is the best nanny anyone could ask for. She was with us for nearly 3 years and has become part of our family. Her creative teaching methods helped our son flourish. Everything from learning the alphabet, to counting, to reading, to music, to Japanese, she pushed the limits of what we thought was possible for a toddler. Mutsumi helped shape our son as he’s now ready for school. We cannot recommend Mutsumi highly enough!!

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! I am looking for a full time position as I transition from working for the Department of Education. I am enrolled in remote classes at The City College of New York, working on my Bilingual Childhood Education BA. I have a very friendly, welcoming, and nurturing personality. 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 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.

Fatomata T., Nanny in Ridgewood, NJ 07450 with 2 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I enjoy engaging with children, keeping them safe, and creating fun, enriching experiences. Growing up with a wonderful babysitter, I saw the lasting, positive impact a caring adult can have on a child’s confidence and happiness. I have two years of formal babysitting experience with neighbors’ kids and over 20 years helping to care for my younger siblings and cousins, giving me patience, adaptability, and strong supervision skills. I offer flexibility to accommodate families’ schedules and provide support with homework, planning engaging activities, and organizing playtime. I am attentive, reliable, and responsive to children’s needs, and my top priority is their safety and well-being. Parents can trust that I create a nurturing, structured environment where their child feels cared for, supported, and happy at all times.

Adama B., Nanny in Ridgewood, NJ 07450 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.

Molly M., Nanny in Ridgewood, NJ 07450 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi I’m Molly! I’m a comic book artist, looking for extra work! I absolutely adore children, and believe there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping families. I have previous nannying experience in college. I nannied for a 2-year-old boy and 5-year-girl. I also have my very own 5-year-old sister, so I’ve seen every meltdown, every smelly diaper, and every crazy situation you can imagine! I have additional mental healthy training from my experience as a peer mentor at Montclair State University (however, those were very big kids!!) As an artist, I have a very active imagination so we can definitely play pretend, make cookies (not to brag, but my fiancé thinks I make the best chocolate chip cookies), or do whatever the kiddos want—within reason of course, haha!
