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!

Greetings! Mature, reliable, caring, and attentive Nursing professional available with own transportation. Perfect for Out-of-town Guests! I've been a Pediatric Nurse for over 35 years, in several major NYC children's Hospitals, specializing in Infant/Toddler, NICU, and PICU. My latest degree is PhD-Nursing. I am fingerprinted and background checked because I volunteer with foster children. I'm smoke-free, pet -free (but love pets), perfume-free, and have had my COVID, Tdap, flu & pneumococcal shots, so your child with respiratory sensitivities will be safe with me. Now a Full-Time Tenured Pediatric Nursing professor, I really enjoy being around healthy children, and am also available to sit your ill or medically fragile children. I not only know Pediatric CPR, but have successfully performed it multiple times in the ICU. I have RN and PNP licenses in NY and NJ. Having worked at a major Jewish hospital, I also learned how to keep your household Kosher, if needed. I love babysitting, and have always enjoyed caring for children in their own home. My friends have 10 kids and I'm the only person they will leave them all with - especially for the weekend! And yes - happy to show you an ID, a valid COVID Excelsior Pass, and BLS, First Aid & PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) cards (all valid until July 2023).Your kids are SAFE with me! Education - PhD - Nursing- CUNY Graduate Center, Pediatric NP - Adelphi University, MS Nursing - College of New Rochelle, BS Nursing - University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!!) During the academic year, my primary daytime commitment is to my students, so I am NOT usually available during the day (unless I have specifically applied for your job.)

Susan helped us with puppy sitting during some of my work travel. She was professional and flexible with scheduling and kind and patient with our brand new pup, who is still very young and needy. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her again.
