Hi! I’m Denise - a seasoned caregiver with years of experience caring for 10+ nieces and nephews, my own daughter (now off to college 🎓) and countless neighborhood children. With a bit of empty nest syndrome, I’m excited to get back to what I love most: helping kids feel safe and happy while parents enjoy some well-deserved time to themselves. I'm reliable, patient, fun and believe that great childcare should be stress-free for everyone (and yes, I’ve had lots of practice 😉).
Hello. My name is Anjanette and I'm currently a substitute teacher at various locations across Jersey, and intern as a copywriter in the city. I graduated from ASU summa cum laude in 2019, and had moved to London for grad school in 2019, returning to the states in 2020 due to the uncertainty surrounding covid-19. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, some household services (housesitting, etc.), and am happy to provide proof of my fingerprint clearance card. I have significant experience in child-care. I have worked in contracted positions with DCS advising parents and supervising visitations in order to determine appropriateness of returned custody. I have been working as a teacher for the past couple of years, and am able to offer tutoring services, specializing in English, Government, Social Studies, Theatre, and Creative Writing. I have twin 13 year old nephews and enjoy finding ways to play and engage their very different personalties (one dirt bikes and is outdoorsy, and one is interested in engineering and video games.) I was a caretaker for my grandmother and am comfortable with general senior care. I'm not a great cook, but I'm happy to errand run, chat, and accompany seniors to events, or just do wellness checks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs-- I am a huge dog lover. My family has always had big dogs, and I have a stubborn little (35 lbs) dog myself named Beckett.
Hello! My name is Meadow, I am 24 and just moved from Wisconsin. I graduated a few years ago with a business management degree. I have been babysitting since I was in middle school, I was also a full time Nanny 2 years ago during the summer. I come from a big family and have always been around kids. I currently work as a barista and we have a playroom available so I am still working with kids daily. With former families that I have worked with, I have assisted in helping with homework, getting the kids ready for school or bedtime, cooking, cleaning and walking them to school. I am comfortable with cats and dogs as well.
“Meadow is competent, trustworthy, patient and kind. My son takes awhile to warm up to people and he quickly connected with Meadow. She understood his feelings, was empathetic and patient with him. She found topics to connect with him and they built a fun relationship. She also was great with my daughter (9) who could talk with Meadow for hours. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her skills and abilities with kids of all ages.”
A dedicated and highly adaptable Nanny offering 12+ years of professional experience in child development and care, ranging from newborns (infant care/sleep training) to school-aged children (up to 9 years). My philosophy centers on providing a nurturing, engaging, and structured environment tailored to each child's / parent's unique needs. Proactive in integrating into family routines, demonstrating exceptional flexibility with scheduling, routines, and hours. Willing to assist with doctor/dentist appointments, meal prep, laundry, light tidying, and sleep training. Certified in CPR and Pediatric First Aid. I'm genuinely excited to connecting with a new family and starting a rewarding journey together!
I'm a current college senior studying Psychology with a focus on becoming an advocate for children. I have 3 years of experience as a babysitter and as a preschool teacher. I previously worked as a preschool teacher for children ages 2-4 1/2. I also created daily itineraries for our aftercare and summer program for kids ages 6 to 13 years old. I am First Aid + CPR certified. I frequently volunteer with my local elementary/middle school for a program that promotes reading amount young kids and fostering a love of books. I frequently babysit in New York and am very familiar with the city. I have babysat in the city before including taking kids to museums/parks. I love creating fun and creative learning opportunities for children and being silly with them, and allowing them to express themselves in fun and creative ways! :) Feel free to reach out with questions or for references!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
