I am a pre-med biology graduate from Morgan State University and a certified medical assistant. These studies have strengthened my understanding of health and safety, which is crucial to being a competent caregiver. As I continue my path of education, I hope to become a pediatrician who expresses my genuine compassion for caring for kids, not just physically but emotionally as well. As one of the oldest kids in my family, I have been accustomed to babysitting for quite some time. From babysitting my newborn nieces and nephews overnight to watching my cousins for almost a week. I also have experience in animal sitting for 2 years, whether that be dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Caregiving has been a pivotal part of my life since I was younger, growing up in my household. Having to assist my younger brother and sister with homework, cooking them dinner, and being a beacon of knowledge, care, and love for them. I love caregiving because I enjoy being a dependable person that people can count on. It gives me a sense of purpose because I know that I am playing an essential role in their life. Constantly showing up and being present, supporting their development, reminds me that even little, everyday actions such as these are the ones that make a difference and create a village for kids to be nurtured and grow healthily.

On time, kids were very comfortable and had fun while my husband and I went to the movies!

Kayla Carteret
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m from Central New Jersey. I’ve been working in childcare for almost 4 years and have been babysitting for about 2.5 years. I have a BA in Psychology and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Early Childhood Education. I’m a Pre-K teacher and have also led several after-school enrichment programs for children from preschool through eighth grade, so I have experience with a wide range of ages and developmental stages. I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority for me. I’d describe myself as reliable, punctual, and warm. I treat every child I encounter like an extension of my own family with patience, care, and respect. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a fun and supportive environment. I look forward to the potential of working with your family!

$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.

Hi! My name is Rida, and I have over 5 years of babysitting experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m a patient, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. I love keeping children engaged with arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and homework help when needed. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals, assist with nap time, keep play areas tidy, and help with light household tasks related to the children. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I always prioritize safety, kindness, and open communication. I look forward to supporting your family with dependable, loving care.
