Find an emergency babysitter in Cliffside Park, NJ

Hi there — I'm Amir, currently a third year law student at Columbia Law School. I was born and raised in Northern Virginia, and I graduated from George Mason University in 2018 with a BA in International Affairs. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball in NYC's Pride Basketball League, going on runs in Central Park, and improving my novice tennis and pickleball skills with friends. My youngest sister is 11 years younger than me, so I grew up changing diapers and baby sitting from an early age. Throughout the years, in addition to baby sitting my sister and her friends, I have also baby sat younger family members who are currently between the ages of 4 months-8 years old. I also spent nearly a decade as a program director for a youth arts organization in Washington, DC which involved working with/instructing/supervising kids ages 4-15. I have lived with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I have experience with both dog and cat sitting.

Hello! My name is Lana, and I am an experienced and reliable babysitter with over ten years of childcare experience. I genuinely care for children’s well-being — both physically and emotionally. Families would describe me as engaging, patient, and warm, and my goal is to create a fun and safe environment for children to thrive. I originally came to the United States as an au pair, which expanded my prior childcare experience and gave me valuable opportunities to work with children of different ages, including caring for multiple children at once. Beyond childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks, homework help, meal preparation, and pet care. I am also bilingual in English and Portuguese, which I love incorporating into my time with children when appropriate. Additionally, I have working comprehension of Spanish and am also beginning to learn American Sign Language. I enjoy incorporating creative play, reading, and outdoor activities into my time with kids, and I value building trusting relationships with both children and parents. As a junior at Columbia, I am currently looking for part-time positions. I am open to occasional opportunities, but I cannot accommodate full-time positions.

Hi! I'm Claire, a caring, responsible, and dependable childcare provider with over 10 years of babysitting experience and professional experience working with children in both educational and church settings. Currently, I serve on the Children's Ministry staff at Redeemer Presbyterian Church West Side, where I help provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children from infancy through preschool age during Sunday worship services. My responsibilities include engaging children in play, supporting daily routines, and helping maintain a clean and organized classroom. Previously, I worked as a Special Education Assistant Teacher at John S. Bradfield Elementary School in Dallas, Texas, where I supported students from Pre-K through 4th grade. In this role, I provided one-on-one and small-group support, assisted with classroom instruction and learning activities, supervised students throughout the day, and helped with personal care needs, including diaper changes and bathroom routines. This experience strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to care for children with a variety of needs and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided babysitting services for more than 10 years, caring for children ranging from infants to elementary school age. I am experienced with daily routines such as meals, naps, bedtime, playtime, and creating age-appropriate activities that are both fun and engaging. Families describe me as warm, patient, trustworthy, and attentive. I understand that parents are placing their most important people in my care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I would love the opportunity to support your family and look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I have several years of childcare and child development experience through volunteer, leadership, and internship roles. As Head of the Junior Committee at The Child Development Centre, I helped support teaching, structured activities, and volunteer training for children with special education needs. I also completed a Developmental Psychology Internship there, where I observed clinical psychologists, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, and SEN teachers, and helped with child assessment materials. Additionally, I have volunteered at Saviour Lutheran School, assisting with English instruction and educational activities for underprivileged children with developmental and cognitive disabilities. These experiences have made me patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting children with different learning styles and needs.
