Andrea Princeton Junction
$15 per hour for 1 child

I am a 25 year old woman who arrived to USA from Colombia two years ago. I have full time experience with two kids, one toddler and one 8 year old boy. In addition, I have occasionally taken care of babies and have worked in a school as a counselor. I love taking care of creative kids who like drawing, building, dancing, playing hide and seek or using their imagination to play. But I also enjoy going to the playground and having a good outdoor time. I like pets and do not have any type of allergies. I am a responsible caregiver, a good friend for the kids and I make sure to clean any mess that can exist as a result of our games. As a nanny, I make sure to communicate any questions and update the parents often to make sure they know everything is going well! In the same way, I appreciate clarity in the instructions parents can give me. Every child is different so I know I need time to get to know them and for them to get to know me. That's why I am patient with the process and open to learn quickly. I am ready to start mid February. First language Spanish but fluent in English.

Lily Trenton
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lily and I am currently majoring in early childhood education at MCCC. I am very family oriented and first discovered my love for caregiving while looking after my younger cousins. Over the years, this grew into a true passion. Since 2020, I have been babysitting toddlers and infants, and I especially enjoy doing crafts, science experiments, and other fun activities with them while also being a caring and reliable friend. In addition to childcare, I have experience caring for pets. My neighborhood likes to call my house the farm as I have ducks, geese, a dog, a cockatiel, and a snake. I am CPR and First Aid certified through the Red Cross, which allows me to provide an extra level of safety. Whether I’m helping with little ones or looking after pets, I treat every family as if they were my own.

Hi - My name is Alondra and I'm going to be a freshman in college majoring in Nursing. I'm from Puerto Rico and moved to New Jersey three years ago. I can speak English and Spanish.

My responsibilities have included monitoring and/or assisting children daily activities, prepared meals and snacks according to instructions from parents, and assisted parents in establishing and maintaining routines. I have the American Red Cross Babysitting Basics and Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED certifications. I love all animals so animal care while babysitting would be no problem !
