Find infant babysitters in Hazlet, NJ

Hi everyone! My name is Liza and I am looking for weeknight evening and weekend opportunities. I have 15 years professional child care experience between daycares and nannying. I am currently in grad school for my masters in social work. I have been nannying for a family of 6 children for 10 years. Let me know if anyone is interested! Can provide many references. Thanks ! 😊

I am an experienced early childhood educator with 5 years of teaching experience in early preschool and preschool classrooms. I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning

I am a mom to 2 teenaged boys and have 20+ years teaching experience, mostly at the secondary level. I have significant experience working with children with a variety of special needs and allergy protocols. I am an advocate of limited screen time for children and am happy to read, play board games, and spend time outdoors with them. I have always had a dog and am very comfortable with pets. I am looking for occasional work on weekends and during school breaks.

As a recent newlywed, I'm new to babysitting (used to in my teens) but I'm excited to gain more experience again with children of all ages as my husband and I plan to start a family in the next few years. My background includes a BA in Communications from Columbia College in Missouri, and minors in English and Film Studies. I have CPR training from eight years of serving in the Army Reserves as a Lieutenant, so my first aid skills apply mostly to adults, but I have reviewed several training videos recently on CPR for toddlers and babies. I would love to share any of my skills and hobbies — music, golf, writing (creative and non-fiction), cooking/baking, and even basic French — with any children who are interested! Here's a little background about my interests: I have played piano and violin since I was 10 and 11 years old — while I played violin in Mizzou's orchestra in college, I no longer play professionally, although I continue to practice piano frequently. I'm also an avid golfer and have played since I was 12, and even taught my husband how to play! I'm a published fiction author and have a passion for writing. I've worked in media and marketing full-time since college and now work part-time with Chicago Star Media (used to be full-time and ran the company until we moved out of Chicago, but I continue to oversee the editorial side of things). A few years ago, I also created my own blog called "Sincerely, Ashlea" to be able to write about things I'm passionate about, including beauty, travel, books, food and wine. Since getting married, I have fallen in love with cooking and baking! I explore new recipes and recently overhauled our entire kitchen to remove all processed foods from our diets at home, so I make pretty much everything from scratch. I have cookbooks by moms who enjoy cooking with their children, so I have plenty of kid-friendly recipes handy. While I'm not fluent, I've loved French since taking it in high school and visited Bordeaux. I've been relearning this summer and have remastered the basics with a 115-day Duo Lingo streak. I am eager to positively impact your children's lives in any way that I can! NOTE: If driving or picking up kids from school is required, I would need a car provided (my husband and I moved to the beach from downtown Chicago in April, so I don't have a car). Because of this, I do prefer families that I can easily access via the train along the shore and/or within a 45-minute walking distance.

I have more than 15 years of experience. I am a grandmother to a 12 year old granddaughter. I have baby sat my 12 nieces and nephews. I have also watched twins, infants, toddlers, and grade school children. Once you get to know me you will feel at peace leaving your child with me. I will treat your children as if they were my own. They will always be in great care. You won’t have to worry about me being on my cell phone or watching tv while your children are in my care. I am honest, reliable, and dependable. I come from a family of educators and school psychologists. I love reading, taking walks, arts and crafts, going to the park, and tummy time. Looking forward to hearing from your soon.
