Booked by 1 family in Shrewsbury, NJ

Hi! My name is Willow and I am a recent grad from NYU. I have some babysitting experience for other families in high school, but most of my experience is with my younger brother from the ages of 0-4. Responsibilities include running errands, outdoor time, crafting, cooking, cleaning the house, and bedtime. I am flexible, warm and patient. Right now I am working part time at Brooklinen, where much of my focus is on making sure people feel welcome. I love meeting new people, and work great one-on-one. Outside of customer service, my job is to maintain a clean and comfortable space. I am calm, flexible, and comfortable balancing interaction with organizational tasks. I also have dog and cat sitting experience. I have had pets my whole life- I love animals and am very comfortable with their care. I have experience with nannying for senior cats over an extended period, and am comfortable with feeding, changing litter, giving medication and playing. With my own dogs, I am comfortable walking them daily, and taking care of hygiene such as teeth brushing and hair brushing.

Lola $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lola and I feel tremendous respect for children as they are so free and spontaneous; great teachers :) .. my experience is based on caring for my own son (now 21 years old); my niece and nephews (now 18-21 years old). I was a stay at home mom most of the time so I lived the experience by raising children and also being the recurring host for all their friends as well :). I helped them with homework and study for all school years, cooked and fed them; took care of all their needs and extra curricular activities; they are now in College and also hold each one high degrees in different fields like: black belt on MMA; college soccer; professional soccer; electric guitar player; artist (drawer/painter). I am very cautious and pay attention to detail; follow instructions; communicate well and in a timely manner. I also love music, dancing, playing, walking, going to the park; reading, baking :), blowing bubbles; help with school work. I am fluent in English and Spanish; I have a bachelors degree in Economics and I am also a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I also own a dog myself :) his name is Cristiano and he is very happy and spoiled. Please fell free to ask about any questions or concerns that you may have :)

"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!"
