Booked by 35 families in Orange, NJ

Hi, My name is Aimee and I was born and raised in North Jersey. As a creative, I am a huge advocate for self expression and being yourself. And spending time with children reminds me the importance of that. I've been working with kids for over ten years and as the oldest of five, caring for children and being attentive to their needs is first nature to me. I have experience nannying & babysitting the kids of my neighbors, aunts, uncles etc. Also, I've worked as a Substitute nanny, date-night nanny and as a teacher's assistant in daycare centers/preschools. My favorite part of nannying is when I see a child grow more confident in themselves and their abilities. There's something about seeing a child do something that they thought they couldn't do, it warms my heart :) With your child, I plan to teach them, care for them, go on plenty of walks with them (parks are epic), visit the library, a museum, have a dance party or two and just support their development and individuality. That was a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you! All the best, Aimee A.

I’m a 22-year-old who loves working with kids and animals. I have experience caring for children of different ages and always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy helping kids learn through play and creativity. I also have hands-on experience with dogs, including walking, feeding, and basic care, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my positive energy, reliability, and love for kids and animals to your team.

Booked by 2 families in Orange, NJ

Hello! My name is Yuliana, and I am a university student. I have been working as a substitute teacher and teacher’s assistant at different childcare centers since 2024, where I have gained experience caring for infants and toddlers. I also have previous babysitting experience, and I completed a high school internship at an elementary school as a Spanish teacher’s assistant. I am caring, patient, and responsible. I enjoy playing with children and doing educational activities that help them learn and develop their skills while having fun. I also offer pet care. Although I don’t have professional experience as a pet sitter, I love animals and am comfortable following instructions for feeding, walking, and general care.

Myra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Myra, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience helping raise my younger siblings from infancy through childhood. I’m very comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime, homework help, and supervising multiple children. I’m patient, calm, and safety-focused, and I do my best to create a positive, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also organized, attentive, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take that responsibility seriously while making sure children feel happy, engaged, and safe

"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!"
