Find a babysitter in Orange, NJ

Working with children has always been close to my heart. Through years of experience in nonprofit programs and children’s ministry at my local church, I’ve learned how meaningful it is to create a space where children feel safe, included, and cared for. As a head camp counselor, I had the chance to create fun, enriching experiences for the children in my care. My studies in child advocacy and policy have also deepened my understanding of children’s needs and well-being. I’m warm, patient, playful, and attentive, and I love finding ways to make children laugh, learn, and feel valued. I know how much a caring mentor can mean in a child’s life, and I hope to be that person for the children I work with.

Hello! My name is Clara, and I'm currently staying in the NYC area for the fall semester completing an art residency. I am offering child care, animal care, and help with household tasks. I am open to caring for children 3+ years. I usually work part-time at a youth art nonprofit teaching kids 18 months to 12 years of age, and I have also worked with kids as a martial arts instructor and academic tutor. I enjoy spending time with kids making art, reading books, playing music or sports, and cooking together. I come from a big family, but do not have children myself yet! I have helped many of my friends raise wonderful kids over the years. I am comfortable transporting children between school, scheduled activities, and the home. I am CPR and first aid certified through the American Heart Association. For pets, I am open to leash trained dogs up to 100 pounds, all cats, rabbits and other small mammals, ferrets, and reptiles. I am open to puppies and kittens but would prefer to discuss first! In college, I worked several jobs in animal care including vet assisting, dog walking/training, and exotic animal adoption. I am trained in animal first aid and comfortable administering medication including subcutaneous injections. I am also available for errands including cooking, cleaning, shopping, and household management. I am a great cook, home baker, very organized, and a pro at budgeting. I do not have a car while staying in the city but am happy to do errands via public transit. I have a clean driving record if using your car is something that is necessary. I like to say that I am a jack of all trades because I am willing to try anything, and if I like it, I won't stop until I improve. I would like to use my skills to help make your day feel a little easier!

My experience with infants includes caring for both of my nieces. Also, I have worked as a Direct Service Professional for young children and adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, in their homes and group homes, respectively.

Pets: I grew up with animals, a Pomeranian mix and later a Pitbull mix (sadly, he was not friendly), so I am comfortable with various sizes, temperaments, and needs and often pet sit for family. I love cats, too and am a quick learner. Household Services: basic cooking & cleaning, washing dishes, sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, organizing, and in-home laundry. Currently, I spend my time supporting my sister and brother-in-law with childcare for my 2-month-old and 7-year-old nieces, and I am obsessed with them. <3 I enjoy playing cozy video games, learning coding and data analysis/visualization, listening to audiobooks, and practicing Filipino martial arts.
