My name is Cassia. I have a strong background in education and childcare, with experience working as a teacher in Mexico, Singapore, and the United States. I have worked with children from age 2 through middle school. I am also a mother of two, so I bring both professional and personal experience. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I am responsible, patient, warm, organized, and caring, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where children feel supported. I can also help with pets and provide loving, reliable care for them. I am comfortable supporting elderly adults with kindness, patience, companionship, and respect, always making sure they feel valued and cared for.
Hello! I’m Ashley, a senior at Morgan State, majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology. I’ve been babysitting since I was in high school and have worked as an Aftercare Assistant as well as a camp counselor working with toddlers, preschool, kindergarten and 1st graders. My responsibilities were adhering to feeding, playing/interacting with children as well as helping with nap(s). I’m allergic to cats and don’t mind dogs. I’m looking for a summer part time job since I’m home from college for the summer!
I recently moved to Highland Park and will be starting my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at Rutgers (New Brunswick) this September. At the moment, I am only looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Before moving to NJ this summer, I lived in New York City for five years while completing my master’s degree at Columbia University and working in the field of youth mental health. My education in Clinical Psychology, along with my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Child Development from UC Davis, has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and children’s needs. I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages in a variety of settings. I’ve had numerous part-time nanny and babysitting jobs with children ranging from newborns to 15 years old. I also worked as a camp counselor for many years and as a math and reading tutor. I’m happy to help with homework, tutoring, and even college applications. I am reliable, extremely empathetic, kind, and funny, and I easily connect with kids to create a fun and safe environment. Lastly, I am a big animal lover and am open to pet sitting jobs as well!
“Wonderful, responsible, and kind. Hope we can work with her again. ”
Hi families, I’m Nosi pronounced Nosee. I am an extremely happy and loving individual who is passionate about helping others. With over 7 years of experience, I have worked as both an Au Pair and a full- time nanny, providing exceptional care to children ranging from 4 weeks to 14 years old. As a vaccinated nanny, I am committed to ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I truly enjoy working with children, supporting their growth.I love engaging in activities such as outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, baking, and reading, always striving to make each day memorable and enjoyable for the kids I care for. Having had the privilege of becoming a part of many families' lives, childcare is truly one of my greatest passions. Outside of work I enjoy reading, yoga, exploring new dining spots, sightseeing, and visiting places with waterfalls and beaches.
“Nosipho was on time, warm, and immediately connected with my kid by getting down to his level. Very easy-going and my son was very comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend!”
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! ”
