Carter 3 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Edgewater, NJ

"Hello, parents! I'm your go-to babysitter with over 5 years of experience, bringing warmth and enthusiasm to every childcare moment. Not only do I have a knack for keeping little ones entertained, but I also bring educational value through my tutoring expertise. Your child's safety, happiness, and growth are my top priorities. Let's create lasting memories together, one playful adventure at a time!"

Carter was fantastic, on time, very polite with a great personality. We ended up staying out later than expected and she had no issue staying late. She seemed to be able to get our girl to bed with less trouble than we’ve had lately. We highly recommend Carter as a babysitter

Clara $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a passion for helping others. I am a proud mother of four wonderful children, who are now between the ages of 19 and 42, and a loving grandmother. My experience raising a large family has taught me compassion, responsibility, organization, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to my personal caregiving experience, I have worked as a teacher’s aide supporting children with special needs, where I developed strong communication, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with more families. I enjoy helping with daily routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and providing attentive, respectful care. Families describe me as trustworthy, calm, reliable, and compassionate. My goal is to make your loved one feel comfortable, valued, and cared for while giving your family peace of mind.

Sydney $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am 25 years old. Here’s a little bit about me as you’re considering me as a potential caretaker for your family. I graduated top of my class from the University of Virginia in 2022, with a degree in marketing and business analytics. I am the oldest of 4 children and have been babysitting since I was 14 years old. I’ve cared for children of all ages and for families with multiple children and pets. In addition to babysitting, I am more than happy to help out in other ways such as grocery shopping, cooking, and house tidying. I worked as a housekeeper on a luxury guest ranch for a summer so I have lots of experience caring for a space. In my free time I love to cook, take yoga classes, read, and try new restaurants in the city. Please reach out with any other questions :)

Chloe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chloe, and I’m an incoming medical student with a passion for working with children. I currently work at a fertility clinic and am looking for part-time opportunities before starting medical school this August. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also been tutoring for many years and am happy to help with homework, studying, and academic support. In addition, I previously worked at a museum of science, where I taught science concepts to children ages 5 and under! I love to cook and am completely comfortable preparing meals, whether it’s simple snacks or full dinners. (Bonus! I played college lacrosse and have coached on the side and if any of your kids are interested in lacrosse, I would be happy to play with them and coach!) I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to connect and help care for your little ones!
