Hello! My name is Josefina, and I am a dedicated, compassionate, and highly experienced professional nanny with over 15 years of providing exceptional childcare to families of all ages. Caring for children has always been more than a career for me—it’s my passion. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Throughout my career, I have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and multiples. I understand that every child is unique, and I tailor my approach to support each child’s developmental, emotional, and educational needs Whether it’s establishing routines, preparing healthy meals, organizing engaging activities, helping with homework, or encouraging social and emotional development, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care every day. I have experience working with busy professional families and understand the importance of being reliable, organized, flexible, and maintaining complete confidentiality I enjoy planning age\-appropriate educational activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping children build confidence, independence, and positive manners. I hold professional childcare certifications, including CPR and First Aid certification, and I remain committed to following the highest safety standards. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. Families describe me as warm, trustworthy, patient, dependable, and nurturing\. I value open communication and work closely with parents to ensure consistency in routines, expectations, and childcare goals. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of a family’s support system and creating meaningful, lasting relationships while helping children reach their fullest potential.

We feel so lucky to have Laila caring for our little one full-time. Being a mom of four herself, her experience shines through in every interaction, but she’s also wonderfully respectful of how we want to raise our child and follows our routines effortlessly. She is incredibly attentive, kind, and always manages to get big smiles out of our baby. Any family would be lucky to have her!

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.

Hi! I am a student at Caldwell University. I am a playful, funny and caring- but also a hard worker who will be dedicated to the children's well being. I worked as a babysitter all throughout high school. I work well with younger children and infants as well as all different types of pets. I worked as a sitter for multiple families in Hoboken throughout high school. While working in Hoboken, I did things such as housekeeping, meal prep, dishes, kids wash, etc. in order to help out around the house. While attending college I worked with families in Chatham, Livingston and Nutley. In addition, I do have a car to take the children to appointments or activities if needed. I am also fully vaccinated.

Justine is fabulous, and my almost 6 year-old daughter adores her. She has been reliable, and is very hands-on with my daughter. She has been a huge help to my family! I highly recommend her.

I’m an overnight infant and baby care specialist, providing overnight care full-time. My shifts typically begin around 9 PM and run through 6–7 AM, depending on your family’s needs. I do not work with contracts because, as a mom, I know you can’t predict exactly what your baby will need or how those needs will change over time. I’m extremely flexible and accommodating with last-minute added nights or day-of cancellations. I’m often with a newborn family for about 8 weeks, gradually phasing myself out as baby settles into a routine — hopefully with both baby and you sleeping through the night! I’m a mom to two toddlers and have 20+ years of consistent childcare experience. I stepped away from my career as a TV News Producer a few years ago to focus on raising my girls. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your baby, and I take that responsibility seriously. I consider myself an extension of you. I will mirror the way you choose to feed, care for and raise your baby, while giving you the relief and rest you deserve. My children are fully cared for while I’m working, so your child’s well-being is my only priority. I have certifications in newborn and infant care, clean background checks, wonderful references and a professional résumé available to share. It’s important to know who you’re trusting with your child. Feel free to request me on Instagram (@carasayssmile), and I’m happy to accept so you can get a glimpse into my life beyond this profile.

My son had lots of fun with Cara and is now asking when she will come back to play with him. He warmed up to her immediately, and she handled his mealtime and bedtime routine with ease. Highly recommend!!

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!

Hi! I’m currently looking for a long-term babysitting/nanny position with a family where I can build a lasting and trusting relationship. I have 7 years of babysitting experience on and off, along with nearly eight years of hands-on experience caring for my younger brothers. I also have experience caring for multiple children at once, which has helped me become organized, patient, and comfortable managing different needs and routines. I especially enjoy caring for younger children and love being part of their growth and development. I’m responsible, dependable, and always happy to help with whatever a family may need, including preparing light meals, tutoring/homework help, keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities, assisting with daily routines, and light household chores related to the children. I have a flexible schedule and am looking for a consistent, long-term opportunity where I can become a reliable part of the family’s support system. I’m easy to communicate with, attentive to each child’s individual needs, and committed to creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment. If you have any questions or would like to connect, I’d love to chat and learn more about your family and what you’re looking for!
