$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hillside, NJ

I’m a 20 year old college student looking mainly for weekend work/ part time to help pay for school. I don’t have much paid experience but I have lots of personal experience. When I was younger my mom was a nanny and I was always her little assistant helping out with the kids she looked after ranging from ages 1-8. I also have a niece that I look after every now and then who just turned 4. Lastly throughout the week I work as a pediatric dental assistant so caring for kids comes naturally! If you have pets I have experience on caring for reptiles, cats and dogs. Cpr/ first aid/BLS certified: ✅ Meals and light housekeeping: ✅ Own transportation:✅

Yelis $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yelis. I’m currently in Dental Hygiene school and I’m looking for a part-time babysitting position. I have experience caring for a newborn from the time she was born until she was a little over a year old, due to the family relocating. I’ve also had experience working with toddlers. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love keeping them engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, playing, and age-appropriate activities. I am also CPR certified. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, and caring. I’m happy to help with light household chores, errands, and anything else that makes life a little easier for the family!

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 😉).

Anjanette $25 per hour for 1 child

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.
