Find a babysitter in West New York, NJ

Hi, My name is Angela and am originally from Wales in Great Britain, UK. I am now a triple citizen (USA, UK, Italy). My vacation to America back in 1981 resulted in acquiring a green card from working as a Governess/Nany for a Dr. and his family in Tenafly, NJ. The children, boy & girl were 7 & 4 years of age when took care of them. I love children and have recently returned to babysitting. My work is video production therefore have a flexible schedule as run my own business. I am divorced and have no children and have 2 nieces in New Jersey and a nephew in Wales. My hobbies are dance, music, photography and yoga, recently completing my teachers training in yoga. Here is a recent testimonial: "Angela has done a wonderful job caring for my daughters, ages 4 and 7. She picks them up from school 3 days per week in two different locations and takes them to after school activities. She has been extremely reliable and easy to communicate with, and is kind and patient with my girls. I always feel confident that they are in good hands. We are so fortunate to have her helping us out with our busy after school schedule! I would highly recommend her to other parents."

I'm Marina, and I'm based in Brooklyn. I currently work part-time as the Development and Partnerships Director for a nonprofit providing education and mental health support to women and girls in Afghanistan, and I have about 20-25 hours a week available for a family in need of extra help. I have 19+ years of experience working with children, from newborns through high school, across nannying, daycare, summer camp, tutoring, and classroom teaching. I've cared for children in one-on-one and group settings, for families in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and internationally, including families with high-profile backgrounds. Depending on what your family needs, my time could look like after-school pickup and care, homework support, household logistics, scheduling, organizing, errand running, cooking dinner, pet care, or simply being a consistent and trustworthy presence in your children's lives. For tutoring, I specialize in English, writing, and critical thought for all ages, and cover math, science, and social studies through elementary school. I've taught students from preschool through 12th grade and tutored refugee youth in Brooklyn, often without shared language. My teaching style is rooted in observation and adaptability. I learn how each child thinks, what makes them feel safe, and where they need room to grow. My professional background is in educational and curriculum development. I performed on Broadway through my teens, then shifted into nonprofit work and volunteer teaching. I lived and taught at a school in India for close to two years, worked at a summer camp for refugee youth, and have held roles spanning operations, client experience, and learning and development. All of it has made me someone who pays close attention and builds trust with the people I work with. I emphasize technology-free, creative, and confidence-building play. I think carefully about who each child is and what they specifically need, and I bring that same intentionality to everything from an afternoon activity to a homework session. Of course, I still love a fun movie night! :) I've held certifications in Infant and Pediatric First Aid and CPR and am happy to be re-certified. I have a perfect driving record, I'm conversational in Spanish, and I'm an animal lover through and through. References available upon request. I work best with families that lead with compassion, open-mindedness, and joy. If that sounds like your household, I'd love to connect!

During the spring I love taking them out to do different activities in the city. I’m open to any overnight jobs where any extra chores would need to be complete. Feel free to message me and I can send you some references. Thank you for trusting me with your child!

Hi! My name is Miel, and I am a 20-year-old student at the University of Texas at Austin, where I study Health and Society on the pre-med track. I have been babysitting for several years and have experience caring for children of different ages, including helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, organizing activities, managing bedtime routines, and ensuring children feel safe and supported while their parents are away. In addition to babysitting, I worked with first graders through The GO Project, a nonprofit educational program in New York City. In this role, I helped students with reading and math, supported classroom activities, encouraged positive behavior, and built meaningful relationships with children from diverse backgrounds. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to connect with young children in a fun and engaging way. I am CPR-aware, highly responsible, organized, and dependable. As a pre-med student with experience volunteering in pediatric healthcare settings, I am comfortable remaining calm under pressure and attentive to children's needs. I love arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, games, and helping children learn and build confidence. Families describe me as warm, mature, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel happy, supported, and cared for.
