Booked by 1 family in Leonia, NJ

Hello! My name is Lilly! I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and am currently pursuing my Masters in Childhood Special Education. I also have experience from working as an assistant at an Child Care Center with children ranging from 5-12 years old and diaper changing from my younger cousins. Furthermore, I have experience from working as an elementary substitute teacher. I have a passion for working with children, want to help them learn new things, and can implement age- appropriate activities. I am very patient, punctual, compassionate, attentive, responsible, and prioritize safety and comfort. I enjoy reading, arts & crafts, and games! I am available for child care services & light household services. ****I would like to find jobs that are in the NYC area as I do not have a car and rely on public transportation. I am available Friday’s after 2:20pm, on weekends & during public school holidays.**** I grew up with a chihuahua and currently have 2 cats. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats and can assist with feeding and playtime if needed. If you have any questions, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!

Lilly was extremely professional and reliable. My 11 year old son warmed up to her, so did our two small dogs! She was very diligent. She made sure to listen to our expectations and delivered perfect care. I would recommend her services.

Booked by 1 family in Leonia, NJ

Hello, my name is Giulia . I’m a senior in high school soon to be graduating. I’m 18 years old. I have a lot of experience with younger children. I have two little siblings of my own seven and nine who I’ve helped raise and plenty of little baby cousins that I always help babysit. I’m great with kids kids love me. I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can clean cook run errands take them to the park, do fun activities with them and help with homework. I’ll make them healthy and delicious meals and you won’t have to worry about them when they’re with me. I know my age, might look a little young, but I come from an Albanian household, which is huge by the way, and I’ve been taking care of kids since I was a kid myself. I’m looking forward to watching your kids while you parents get your work done or have a very well deserved night out! If you have any questions, please let me know. I’ll be willing to answer anything nothing is too personal!<3

Hi! My name is Jenna and I’m currently a sophomore at Quinnipiac University. I’d love to help out families by providing child care, pet care, or general household help! I’ve been a long-time babysitter for many families in my area since before I could drive, and I often watch and walk dogs through the Wag! app. I can be very active with kids and play any sports/games they want, but I’m also very crafty and love to just talk and watch movies! I’m also CPR certified and a licensed child care provider through the HMH certification course. Im also available to run errands and help with cleaning or laundry! I love to drive and shop, and I’ve been my mothers personal errand-runner for years with great reviews. And after being to college, there is nothing I’m not ready to clean!

Jenna accepted my last minute booking and arrived early. She was very upbeat and a pleasure to be around. She confidently handled my toddler twin boys who enjoyed playing with her. I would not hesitate to hire Jenna again as a babysitter.
