Booked by 1 family in Irvington, NJ

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.

Oluwabukunmi Union
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Olu, and i’m currently a freshman in college and work as an assistant teacher at a daycare in Madison, where I’ve been for about a year. In my role, I supervise playtime, lead simple learning activities, help with meals and naps, and make sure the children are in a safe, supportive environment throughout the day. I’ve been working with kids since I was about 13 and have experience with children of different ages, though I have the most experience with kids between the ages of 1 and 6. Working with younger children has helped me develop a lot of patience and attentiveness, and I’m very comfortable helping manage routines while still making sure kids are having fun. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize safety and communication with families. I enjoy doing different activities with kids such as reading, crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I usually adapt to what the children are interested in so they feel comfortable and engaged. In addition to supervising and playing with the kids, I’m also happy to help with basic caregiving tasks like preparing simple meals and helping with bath time when needed. Families often describe me as dependable, calm, and easy to communicate with, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun environment for your children.

Buket Millburn
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Irvington, 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!

Aissatou West Orange
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Aissatou. I am currently an MBA student with 10+ years of experience caregiving for children, pets and the elderly. I am a compassionate, caring and reliable person who can cook, clean, and run errands. My love for caregiving began when I would babysit my neighbor’s children at 17 years old while their single mom would work late shifts. The look of joy that she would give me when she returned to a clean home and children that were cared for was extremely rewarding and gave me a sense of pride. During my summer breaks in college, I would help take care of my elderly neighbor when her primary caregiver was away. I would cook, clean, do her laundry and help administer her medication. The admiration I had for her was so strong that when she was moved to a nursing home, I became a volunteer there. The incredible stories and lessons I learned from the wonderful residents are priceless. I look forward to providing the best care possible!

Livingston
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 103 families in Irvington, NJ

Hi! I'm Olivia. Thanks for visiting my profile. A little about me: I have 15 years of experience as both a full-time and part-time babysitter. I started babysitting in 2011, when I was a freshman at NYU. I'm now 33 and a freelance writer and editor. From 2011 to 2017 (before I left NYC temporarily for grad school), I babysat for 10-40 hours each week. My experience ranges from newborns to 14-year-olds, with every age in between. I especially enjoy sharing my love of books & reading. I love chatting with kids, answering their (hilarious/profound/thought-provoking) questions, and playing their favorite off-screen game. I was born in Manhattan, and I grew up in North and South Florida. Outside babysitting, I worked as a substitute teacher while attending grad school. From 2[removed], I was a full-time teacher at a private school in Florida, where I taught fourth grade reading, writing and science. I am skilled in social-emotional learning (SEL) and working with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), Levels I, I, and III; OCD; and ADHD. I am also skilled in helping kids cope with anxiety, anxious thinking, or anxiety-related behavior patterns. My hobbies include reading, spending time with my friends, and kayaking. I also have an M.F.A. in fiction writing, and I love talking to both kids and adults about books and writing! Some other helpful info: I am comfortable with pets and light housework/pet care. I am not comfortable babysitting children who are not feeling well/sick/contagious. Please let me know ahead of time if this becomes the case!
