Booked by 2 families in Hackensack, NJ

Hi, my name is Kimberly. I’ve been babysitting for a while now I started off babysitting my nephew when I was young. I loved it so much I started looking into more babysitting jobs and I now have more than 2 years of experience. I also love doing other chores such as laundry and mild cleaning. I love cooking especially some shrimp alfredo pasta yumm! I love making snacks for the kids and creating fun activities for them. Especially art activities and baking with them! I have experience walking dogs as well. I love pets a lot and look forward to seeing families with their fur babies :)

Jackelin $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with nearly five years of experience supporting children and families. I have worked as a Teacher Assistant in a daycare with children ages 18 months to 5 years, helping with daily routines, learning activities, behavior guidance, meals, and creating a safe, fun environment. As the oldest of four siblings, I also helped care for my younger brothers and sister from the time they were born. My youngest sibling is now 8 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children and families through New Jersey’s child welfare system, where I supported parents, monitored child safety, and connected families with resources. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have completed my Master’s in Social Work, along with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) training. I believe in positive reinforcement, kindness, and building trusting relationships with every child. I’m happy to assist with homework, playtime, light meal preparation, bedtime routines, transportation, light housekeeping, and pet care. Families can count on me to be responsible, organized, compassionate, and dedicated to providing safe, nurturing, and reliable care.

Charlet $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Charlet! I’m originally from Portland and now a student at Fordham University here in NYC. I’ve spent the last five years caring for children from infants to age 16 through babysitting as well as some full-time nannying. Caring for kids comes naturally to me, I love to help create a warm, clean, calm, and fun environment where young people feel safe, encouraged, and excited to explore. I’m confident with daily routines, including cleaning, meals, naps, school pickups/dropoffs, bedtime, and playtime. I value clear, consistent communication with parents and always strive to support whatever rhythm works best for your family. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and truly enjoy forming long-lasting, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’d be happy to provide references, and I’d love to connect with you and your family.

ilvana $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a loving and responsible mom of two — I have an 11-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter. Over the years, I’ve cared for several children on weekends, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. Families often tell me that even the most energetic or difficult children feel calm and comfortable with me. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, or keeping children engaged in positive activities. Caring for kids is something that comes naturally to me, and I treat every child with the same love and patience as I do my own.
