Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 6 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Jamaica, NY 11436

Meet Taren

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

In addition to my 6 years of experience with afterschool, I also have multiple years of babysitting experience. My most recent babysitting job was a 2 month old boy and it was overnight. I’ve watched him a few times. I think he’s the youngest I’ve ever had though. I normally deal with toddlers and middle aged children. Being that I have a lot of young brothers and sisters, I constantly have to watch over children and be on my toes about keeping them busy. I have an abundance of games and activities to keep a few children at a time entertained.

Taren has played such a big role in my twins life. She’s worked with them from birth and they are 3 years old now. She’s caring , reliable and has great time management skills. She has introduced them to new foods, helped my boys learn to walk, story time, educational programming and engagement , increased their socialization skills and she takes them to the local playground. Truly a blessing. Highly recommended.
