Hi everyone! I'm a 28 year-old college grad looking for babysitting/nannying or pet-sitting opportunities in the Monmouth County, NJ area while I apply to graduate school programs. I’m available mornings and evenings M-F and some weekends. A Little Bit About Me. . . I most recently have experience babysitting 7 and 10 year old girls. I helped with meal prep, light housekeeping, and summer homework. I also helped with activity drop-off/pickup. I can provide a reference if needed! I love painting/drawing so it’s fun for me to think up crafts for kids. Since I have a bachelor's degree in English, I can help with reading before bed and homework! (I’m looking to start substitute teaching) During the summers between school, I worked as a lifeguard for 4 years, so I’m comfortable watching kids by the water. I’m CPR/AED & First Aid certified. Feel free to message me with any questions, Read more I'd love to set up some time to chat!

Michelle was wonderful with our two daughters, ages 7 and 10, this past summer. She was reliable, professional, and always punctual. If there were ever any changes to her availability, she communicated them well in advance and was very considerate of our schedule. She consistently came prepared with creative activities to keep the girls engaged while I worked from home. Some of their favorites included painting mini canvases, decorating rocks, doing puzzles and board games, playing charades, and even trying simple science experiments together. One day, Michelle helped the girls set up a lemonade stand, supervising them and their friends to make sure they chose a safe location and even helping them count and exchange money. We have so many great pictures from all of the fun activities they did together, and Michelle was always thoughtful about sending updates and photos throughout the day to keep me in the loop. Through her playful and engaging personality, Michelle quickly formed a genuine bond with both girls while always keeping their safety and well-being a top priority. She also helped with transportation to activities and outings, including trips to the boardwalk with cousins, the movie theater on a rainy day, and birthday parties with friends. She was always attentive and responsible, making sure the girls wore their seatbelts and that our younger daughter had her booster seat properly secured. We truly appreciated having Michelle as part of our summer, and our daughters absolutely adored her. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, dependable, and engaging babysitter.
