Find a babysitter in River Edge, NJ

Hi there! My name is Janett, and I’m a proud graduate of Lehman College with a degree in Recreational Therapy and a minor in Art. I bring creativity, compassion, and reliability into every role I take on. I provide child care, senior care, and household support and I truly love what I do. I’ve been caring for children since I was 19, from newborns to school aged kids. My experience includes school pick ups and drop offs, tutoring, arts and crafts, dancing, and creating fun, engaging activities that help kids learn and grow. Parents trust me because I’m responsible, patient, and always focused on making sure children feel safe and supported. I also have extensive experience caring for seniors. I was a caregiver for my grandmother and worked in several assisted living facilities and nursing homes, where I learned the importance of dignity, empathy, and reliability in senior care. On top of that, I can help with day to day household needs. I cook, clean, run errands, and am an expert at navigating the MTA. I’m known for being punctual, organized, and a strong problem solver. I’m also very pet friendly! Having lived with four dogs and a cat at once, I’m comfortable caring for animals alongside my other responsibilities. If you’re looking for someone dependable, warm, and versatile, I’d love to bring my skills and passion to support your family’s needs.

Hi, I'm Sydney! I moved to NYC to be an actor and found myself working in several settings with children, including performing in the Bluey X CAMP experience downtown and acting as costume designer/childcare assistant for 3 shows with the Children's Acting Academy. I have several years of experience providing childcare for ages 0-13, and would love to get to know you and your little ones. Because of my background in theatre, I have all kinds of ideas on ways to have fun! I'm also happy to help around the house in any way you may need.

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.

Hello! My name is Mica! I LOVE working with kids and families. I have a TON of experience and consider myself a natural caretaker with a very loving, engaged and nurturing approach. In my over 20 years of experience working as a childcare provider, I have worked for over 60 families and watched literally hundreds of children. I've worked with some families for over 10 years, watching as their family grew from one 2 year old to having four kids! From newborn to middle school, but with the majority of my experience being with newborns and infants to young elementary. My mother was a nursery school teacher and my siblings and I worked summers at their nursery school camp program, which is where I had a lot of parents asking me to babysit from there. I worked occasionally as a substitute assistant teacher at that same nursery school as well. I have a B.A. in Psychology and took classes on developmental psychology, studying attachment theory and so on. A little more about my background: I am the oldest child in my family and even amongst extended family and family friends children, so since I was a child myself I've been put in charge of watching the younger kids! But I started babysitting officially at 14. I also have young nieces and nephew who I've watched extensively as well :) I am half Japanese and grew up living in Japan at least every other summer. I speak a little Japanese and know a little Spanish as well and consider myself very culturally sensitive. I've also taken cross-cultural psychology and just have a real love of other cultures, I've worked for multiple families with immigrant parents and bilingual children :) Some personal interests are health and wellness/fitness/dance, healthy plant based cooking, volunteering, music! I sing and play a little guitar and love when the kids get excited about that as well! I drive and have my own car, I've taken children to and from every activity including doctors appointments. I've done overnights, full weekends and have traveled internationally with families. I can cook/prepare meals, help with homework where needed and do some light housekeeping as well if desired. I have experience with elderly relatives in the home with dementia, etc, and experience with pet and plant sitting. I am open and flexible! :) Feel free to ask me about anything else I may have missed! Love working with and helping families and look forward to working with yours! :) Be well and looking forward to chatting! :) -Mica
