I am a mother of two, wildly energetic toddlers under the age of 5! I have a Masters in Social Work, am passionate about the neurodivergent community and I'm a houseplant enthusiast! My love for pets is unmatched and unbiased (cats + dogs are equally adored). I have experience as a part-time nanny (10+ years) and continue to work with children presently. I welcome the opportunity to support any household needs families may have as well!

šŸ’• Loving, Reliable & Trustworthy Childcare Hello! My name is Mileth, and I offer loving and reliable childcare services for babies and children from 1 month to 5 years old. I am a responsible, trustworthy, patient, and caring person, and I understand firsthand how important it is for parents to find someone they can completely trust with their children. I am also a mother, so I understand how much love, attention, patience, and care children need. As parents, we always want the best for our children, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for them. I truly enjoy being around children and caring for them. I can help with their daily routines, meals, naps, playtime, and age-appropriate activities, always following the parents’ instructions and preferences. šŸŽ Meal preparation: I can prepare meals and snacks for children according to the parents’ instructions, preferences, and dietary needs. šŸ¼ Baby care: feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routine. šŸŽØ Activities: reading, creative activities, games, and age-appropriate play. šŸ’— My priority is to make sure every child feels safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they are in my care. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ø I speak both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate easily with families in either language. If you are looking for someone reliable who will care for your child with love, patience, and dedication, I would be happy to meet you and learn more about your family’s needs.

ā€œVery professional.ā€

Booked by 2 families in New Milford, NJ

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!

ā€œJenna 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.ā€

Zahar $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Zahar, a registered nurse based in Brooklyn with a background in childcare, school nursing, pediatric psychiatry, and elder care. I’m also pursuing my doctorate in psychiatric nursing. I bring patience, warmth, and a calm approach to caregiving. My experience has taught me how to support different personalities and needs, help children through big feelings, and stay attentive to their safety and well-being. I enjoy creating a comfortable environment where children feel heard and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime routines while following your family’s preferences. I also love cooking! Clear communication and respecting your household’s routines are important to me. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, and backup care around my nursing schedule. I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help!

"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!"
