Booked by 2 families in Glen Ridge, NJ

Hello! I’m Alexis, everyone’s favorite auntie! I’ve been taking care of my family and friend’s kids since I was in elementary school. My first babysitting job was when I was in 4th grade. I’ve worked with children of all ages. I was a field hockey coach to middle schoolers and high schoolers in my early 20’s. Currently, I’ve been an eldery caregiver to both my parents, one, was sick with lung cancer. Im also, currently, working on getting my teaching english as a foreign language certificate.

Hello, I'm Eman. I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience, having helped raise several children in my family from infancy through adolescence. The youngest is 7, and the oldest will be graduating college in the next few years (I still can't believe it!). Being closely involved in their lives has given me a strong, intuitive understanding of children at every stage. I also have some professional childcare experience from my time at KinderCare, but I thrive most in one-on-one or small-family settings where I can give children my full attention. I’m patient, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids—especially toddlers. I’m comfortable with diapers, bottle feeding, and nap routines (may need a short adjustment period if caring for infants). Homework help, reading, and bedtime routines are truly my jam. I enjoy preparing meals or snacks for children and don’t mind tidying toys or children’s spaces, but I focus strictly on childcare and not general household help. I’m fluent in multiple languages and am happy to help with language exposure if parents are interested. I respect family routines, boundaries, and parenting styles, and value clear, open communication. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and available for date nights or occasional care during off-hours. I also have experience providing companionship for seniors through listening and quality time. I’m comfortable working in homes with calm, small pets after meeting them, but not large or high-energy animals. Caring for children is more than a job to me—it’s a calling, and I approach every family with responsibility, heart, and genuine care. A little bit about me personally, I studied fashion design and am a dress maker by trade. I love arts and crafts since I was a toddler and am happy to share some of my crafting activities with kids or even parents. I'm trying to be more fit and active and am into indoor rock climbing and orange theory. If anyone has recommendations for good OT coaches, I'm all ears :). Hosting is second nature to me and my family, so recently I started a luxury picnic and party decorating business, which thankfully has been going well. Right now it's the off season so I'm looking to fill the gap with some nannying roles.

I’m 26 years old. I had been working as a babysitter the last 2 years. I got experience with kids from ages around 4 and 12 years old. I know it can be hard to find someone that you can trust your kids. I’m open to have a call interview and answer to all your concerns. I love to be around kids and I try to be creative with all the activities and the usual things that we need to learn with them during the every day routine. For me being patient and confident is a key to work with kids.

Booked by 1 family in Glen Ridge, NJ

Hello families! My name is Buket, I’m 27 years old and I recently completed a 2-year au pair program in the U.S., where I cared for two amazing children. Before that, I worked as an English teacher in Turkey with kids aged 2 to 12. I’m a warm, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and helping them grow. My background in both education and childcare has helped me develop strong communication and problem-solving skills. I’m also experienced with infants — I know how to change diapers, prepare bottles and light meals, and follow nap routines. For older kids, I enjoy engaging them in creative, fun, and educational activities. I can also help with light housekeeping, laundry, and organization. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a dog sitter and am comfortable being around pets. I have strong references available from both families and host parents who can vouch for my reliability, kindness, and dedication. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s daily life!

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Ksenia (or Kay), a reliable and caring sitter and household helper with a background in both childcare and pet care. I'm a parent to a joyful 5-year-old, so I truly understand the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids of all ages. I have a college degree in Fine Art, and I love bringing creativity into daily activities—whether it's arts and crafts, imaginative play, or fun learning moments. I’ve had cats for most of my life and am very comfortable with pets of all kinds. I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys cleaning, organizing, meal planning / prepping, and helping households run smoothly. Whether you need help keeping your little ones happy and entertained, your pets loved and cared for, or your home calm and in order, I'm happy to step in with a can-do attitude and warm, dependable energy. Looking forward to connecting with families who value kindness, structure, and creativity in their home!
