Anbriel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

Jennifer $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I’m Jennifer — part-time nursing student, full-time fun-bringer, and your go-to babysitter with 5+ years of experience wrangling giggles, snacks, and sibling squabbles like a pro. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, but I especially love hanging out with those 6 and up! Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Helping kids learn, grow, and have fun is what got me started and what keeps me going. I’m calm, patient, creative, and known for being the “cool babysitter” (okay, maybe I said that—but still!). I’m happy looking after up to three kiddos at once, and I love activities that keep us all moving and thinking—like outdoor games, puzzles, board games, and crafts. I always stick to the rules you set, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates however you prefer. Bottom line: I want to be someone you can trust and your kids are excited to see walk through the door. Let’s make babysitting awesome together!

Yelis $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yelis. I’m currently in Dental Hygiene school and I’m looking for a part-time babysitting position. I have experience caring for a newborn from the time she was born until she was a little over a year old, due to the family relocating. I’ve also had experience working with toddlers. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love keeping them engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, playing, and age-appropriate activities. I am also CPR certified. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, and caring. I’m happy to help with light household chores, errands, and anything else that makes life a little easier for the family!

Rime $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reem, and I am an experienced childcare provider with a background in nursing and education. I come from a big family and have always been around children, including helping care for my siblings’ children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and have experience working as a School Nurse in Morocco and as a Teaching Assistant in the UK, supporting children of different ages. I am patient, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I can help with playtime, educational activities, reading, homework support, meal preparation, daily routines, and providing attentive care. I am currently preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam, the licensing exam required to become a registered nurse in the United States, and I am looking for a part-time babysitting or nanny position caring for one or two children in Bayonne, Jersey City, Newport, Hoboken, or nearby areas accessible by public transportation. I speak three languages: English, French, and Arabic. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, caring childcare.

"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!"
