D'Nasia $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hillside, NJ

Hi there! My name is D'Nasia and these are few reasons why I am a great caregiver! Responsible: Babysitters need to be reliable and responsible, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in their care. I am a very organized and responsible caretaker and treat children that I'm babysitting as if they are my own. Patient: Dealing with children can sometimes be challenging, so patience is a valuable quality to have when handling their needs and behaviors. I have frequently babysat children with special needs and my little brother is autistic, which has truly taught me the importance of being patient and empathetic. Good communication skills: I am able to communicate effectively with both children and parents. I have a "Babysitting notebook" that helps in understanding the children's needs and informing parents about their child's well-being; this notebook helps me monitor the child's allergies, safety concerns, play-time preferences, food-preferences, and more. Creativity: I am great at keeping kids busy and engaged! Whether it's watching Miss Rachel or planning engaging activities and games, I can make babysitting more enjoyable for children and myself. Adaptability: Children have different needs, personalities, and moods. My ability to be flexible and adaptable is key to handling various situations. Reliable and punctual: I am always on time (and by that I mean 15min early) to fulfill your responsibilities in a reliable and professional manner. Boundaries: I am great at setting and enforcing appropriate boundaries with the family in order maintain order and ensure their safety.

Booked by 1 family in Hillside, NJ

I’m a 20 year old college student looking mainly for weekend work/ part time to help pay for school. I don’t have much paid experience but I have lots of personal experience. When I was younger my mom was a nanny and I was always her little assistant helping out with the kids she looked after ranging from ages 1-8. I also have a niece that I look after every now and then who just turned 4. Lastly throughout the week I work as a pediatric dental assistant so caring for kids comes naturally! If you have pets I have experience on caring for reptiles, cats and dogs. Cpr/ first aid/BLS certified: ✅ Meals and light housekeeping: ✅ Own transportation:✅

Jordan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name's Jordan! Before I joined the corporate world, I spent 7 years coaching children from ages 4-18 in competitive cheerleading. I also doubled as their camp counselor for 4 of those summers. I'm hoping to help out parents in need of a date night, extra hours at work, time to themselves, etc. There aren't many kids in finance! So I thought this would be a good way to reconnect with them, while helping families out. I can also care for your pets if needed - assuming they're okay with new people. I am prepared to keep your children entertained with whichever activity you prefer! Whether that be helping with their homework, reading to/with them, playing games, etc. I can take them to the park, to school, whatever you need!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Hillside, 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
