Find an emergency babysitter in Ridgefield Park, NJ

Hi families! My name is Natasha, and I recently graduated from Bank Street College of Education with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I have experience working as a preschool teacher, nanny, babysitter, and in after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and needs, including school pickup/drop-off, evening care, overnight care, and weekend babysitting. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, including autism, sensory processing differences, and deafblindness. My background in early childhood and special education helps me create a patient, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel safe and encouraged to grow. I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, sensory activities, and outdoor adventures. One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching their confidence, creativity, and curiosity grow as they learn about the world around them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, building Legos, and visiting museums. I look forward to connecting with your family!

***Please check my calendar for the most accurate view of my availability.*** Hello parents and guardians! Thank you so much for visiting my profile. My name is Jennifer. I am responsible, creative, patient, fascinated with child development, and most importantly love to embrace my inner child. The majority of my experience has been with children as young as 2 weeks old up to 14 years. I consider myself a big advocate of child-directed play, learning, and exploring but of course within a structure. I believe that children do best in environments where they are respected and understood. Having a caregiver understand how you feel as a child, and empathize with your feelings, while still setting boundaries, makes a big difference in their lives. I also LOVE furbabies, whether they're dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I’m a huge animal lover and enjoy interacting with them. I offer my services as a pet sitter as well, so please feel free to inquire about this. My favorite thing to do is travel to different places. My hobbies are photography, video editing, and writing. 🔸 SAFE COMMUTE: To ensure my safety and because things have changed drastically since early 2020, I require a car (Uber, Lyft, Curb, etc.) from or to your home depending on the time when your booking ends or starts.

Hi I'm Hannah!. I'm a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, experienced sitter looking for a part time, weekend or occasional evening gig. I work in theatrical and live events. When not doing so, I support kiddos and their families. I am a licensed driver but am also happy to walk anywhere or use a subway. I’m CPR & first aid certified. I’m a recent Yale graduate with a masters degree in stage management. After working in a preschool during the pandemic, I worked in a Chicago area preschool classroom for almost two years in both the 2-12 month and 4 & 5 year old classrooms. In the spring of 2020; I graduated with a BA in early childhood, elementary education, and theatre. I am passionate and emphatic about viewing and valuing the child as a capable individual with a sense of agency. Throughout the years, I've had the opportunity to work with kids of many different backgrounds, encouraging them to engage through a sense of play, confidence and individualism. My experiences as a teacher, nanny, facilitator and graduate professor and taught me about teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and I am not adverse to cleaning up Legos or Shopkins that litter your living room. Nor am I afraid of a dirty diaper or any other messes your little one may make. I am also experienced with children of all different needs and abilities.

Hey there, future families! I'm Vashti, and I'm excited to introduce myself. I've had the pleasure of caring for little ones from toddlers to teens, making each day an adventure. I'm here for tweekends when you need an extra hand, and if my schedule allows, I'd love to help out on date nights too. In my free time, you'll often find me aimlessly strolling through the city, and pedaling on a trusty Citibike. Just a friendly heads-up: if our day together stretches past 10:00 pm, I'd appreciate your help covering half of my Uber ride home. Looking forward to getting to know your family better! 😊
