Booked by 5 families in Wood Ridge, NJ

Hello, I am Jeanette! I tend to be a very active, adventurous, engaged, always on the go person. I have over 4 years of experience and hopefully more to come. I am currently studying to get my degree in early childhood education and possibly my masters afterwards. I have worked in a daycare that consist of children between the ages of 3-12. I assisted the teachers prepare for activities, cleaning, setting up their lunches and helped the older kids with their homework. I left for a bit to focus on my studies and returned to work a couple of months later. In the new place I was teaching children between the ages of 1-3. I was in charge of setting up the activities for each week. Helped them improve their fine motor skills and made sure they were reaching their milestones when they should. I communicated with the parents one on one and kept them updated on the school app. Where I informed them of everything from what they ate, what projects we were doing, when they slept and sent them adorable pictures of their children throughout the day! I left due to personal reasons which they understood. I hope to be able to work with a family that is very understanding and kind.

Hello- My name is Absa and I am currently a graduate student at New York University. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I first began babysitting professionally at the age of 14 for a few families in my neighborhood but since that have developed a lot of experience working in the California Bay Area, Washington, D.C., and NYC areas. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and kids; my responsibilities including crafts, tutoring, even teaching beginner/intermediate level gymnastics. I am comfortable with household services and cooking as well if necessary. I have worked with families with pets in the past, and am happy to again.

Absa was such a great baby sitter! She was friendly, punctual, communicative, and played really well with my 2 year old. Will hire again :)

Booked by 7 families in Wood Ridge, NJ

Hi my name is Charity but I go by Ms Harmony. I have over 20 years of experience working with young children. I was an infant and toddler preschool teacher for 15 years and a professional Super Nanny for 10years. I majored in Early Childhood Education and Child Development and became a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Peer Breastfeeding Support Counselor and a Professionally Certified Parenting Coach. Caring for young children and supporting parents is my passion and it brings so much joy into my life. I have a very special gift for comforting and connecting with newborns, infants and toddlers. I am very patient and can handle a crying, frustrated or difficult baby with the ability to respond to their needs in an affectionate and nurturing way. Keeping children safe is so important to me that I became a certified instructor through the American Red Cross to use and teach Adult, Child and Infant CPR/AED and First Aid to new parents and caregivers. Please feel free to contact me if you think we would be a good match. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm Regards, Ms Harmony

Charity was very professional and kind.
