$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Angie! I’m 22 years old and I am a college student who works at a daycare and i’m just looking for some extra income as I finish out my last two years of school! I have been working at this daycare for a little over a year and a half but I grew up around kids my entire life and i’ve enjoyed every second of it. Working with kids has always been my passion, I am actually going to school to be a teacher anywhere from preschool to third grade. I love kids and I am passionate about creating a positive environment for them to learn and grow! I am a very organized person and I enjoy cleaning so any household services are an added bonus for me! I am also a pet lover and would love them like my own :) I am caring, positive, loving, responsible, trustworthy and reliable. I hope you’ll give me a chance!

As a caregiver, my passion lies in positively impacting children's lives and supporting families. My passion has always been with kids, and my day to day job I work with children with special needs as an aba therapist. With three years of experience, I provide reliable childcare for up to two children, aged 0-11. I maintain open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and promptly addressing any issues that may arise. My approach to enforcing household rules is guided by the parents' preferences, ensuring consistency and a harmonious home environment. My enthusiasm for outdoor sports, board games, and educational games ensures that playtime is both enjoyable and enriching. I hold a college degree and am certified in CPR and First Aid, demonstrating my commitment to safety and well-being. I own a car, and I'm pet-friendly, making our outings and home environment convenient and comfortable for both children and their furry friends.

Paige Wildwood
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Paige! I am 31 years old. I grew up in New Jersey and went to school at the University of Maryland in College Park. I have a variety of experiences caring for pets. I grew up with cats and 2 dogs so I love both and I identify as a cat person and a dog person :) (we also had the occasional mouse, bunny, and fish). In adulthood, I became the designated pet sitter for all my friends' adorable animals. In my opinion, the most impactful experience I have had is over the last few years I've had the honor of working with Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption, Inc. or BFDAAA in New Jersey fostering dogs. Caring for animals who are in dire need of love, comfort, and security while they look for forever homes brings me more fulfillment in my life than anything else. Additionally, I have taken care of friend's homes and plants while they are away. It helps that I have had plants of my own for years so I know how to keep them alive! I would be an excellent house and pet sitter because I am reliable, I am trustworthy, and I am responsible. You can count on me to make sure all the I's are dotted and T's are crossed. My love for all living things will ensure that your pet(s) gets the best care possible while you are away. I am also a great cleaner, can water your plants, and do anything else around the house that you need me to do.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 143 families in Ocean City, NJ

I am currently only available for date nights, weekends, and holidays. My name is Sarah and I am a graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center in New York City. I have taken courses in Early Childhood and Special Education. I spent awhile in graduate school at the University of Massachusetts. I currently live in Delaware and work as an archaeologist for the State. I started babysitting for people outside my family when I was twelve, and so I've been babysitting for about 14 years now. I have two younger siblings that I have watched for much longer than that. I have watched newborns up to teenagers. I have done everything from a full time nannying position to a mother's helper to just date night sitting. I have experience with large groups of children, through working with both mothers groups and running crafts and activities at a small toy store. I also have experience with children with autism and various special needs. I have worked with children with Downs, but I have the most experience with autistic children. I have worked in several preschool as a substitute. I love taking the kids outside to play. I've been told I can play a mean game of Princess Wizard Ninja make-believe. If it's not a great day outside, I love playing games with the kids inside. I bond with kids using their interests to engage them in age appropriate activities. I do have access to a car and I don't mind running errands or helping with household chores and cooking. I also have no problem with pets in the household. I am more than happy to meet in person or schedule a phone/Skype interview before watching your children. I am more than happy to provide references as well!

We were nervous about hiring a babysitter out of state to watch our kids during a wedding, but Sarah quickly put us at ease. She received rave reviews from our 4 year old and 2 year old. We would certainly hire her again if we lived in the area. Thank you, Sarah, for your help!
