Michelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I am a mom of 2. One is a toddler and the other is 18 So I am patience-tested & approved! I spent several years as a stay-at-home-mom while volunteering at kid's school and occasionally substitute teaching. I previously worked as a "Teacher of Speech & Hearing Handicapped" in NYC public schools and an Early Intervention therapist and a special education preschool teacher in Florida. I have a Bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology and a Master's degree in Applied Research. I got sidetracked reentering the workforce with a breast cancer diagnosis but now I am cancer free and ready to work! I've met other urban sitter caregivers at my local library and I think this would be a great fit! I am a voracious reader and also enjoy finding new children's books with the perfect amount of text and simple illustration - However I love kids reading anything appropriate. I also love exploring the city and finding interesting events to attend always on the lookout for family friendly events. I am very hand's-on and enjoy playing with my own son whether it's building train tracks or playing hide & seek. As my infant days are over- rocking a baby to sleep would be a treat yet a fussy baby I can handle! So please go out, recharge and rest assured your precious child is in good hands.

Bianca $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.

Booked by 1 family in Cliffside Park, NJ

Caring for and supporting children throughout their development is something I truly enjoy. I have five years of experience working with children from newborns to 11 years old, always bringing patience, creativity, and a positive attitude to every moment we share. I have a university education and feel comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I enjoy keeping parents informed with daily reports on their children's activities and progress. I also know how to enforce household rules with a firm yet loving and respectful approach. I enjoy playing outdoors, sharing board games, and educational activities. Additionally, as a Spanish speaker, I can introduce children to a new language in a natural and fun way, broadening their cultural and communication horizons. I am excited for the opportunity to contribute my experience, dedication, and joy to caring for your family.
