Booked by 2 families in Mahwah, NJ

Hi! My name is Jenna and I’m currently a sophomore at Quinnipiac University. I’d love to help out families by providing child care, pet care, or general household help! I’ve been a long-time babysitter for many families in my area since before I could drive, and I often watch and walk dogs through the Wag! app. I can be very active with kids and play any sports/games they want, but I’m also very crafty and love to just talk and watch movies! I’m also CPR certified and a licensed child care provider through the HMH certification course. Im also available to run errands and help with cleaning or laundry! I love to drive and shop, and I’ve been my mothers personal errand-runner for years with great reviews. And after being to college, there is nothing I’m not ready to clean!

Jenna accepted my last minute booking and arrived early. She was very upbeat and a pleasure to be around. She confidently handled my toddler twin boys who enjoyed playing with her. I would not hesitate to hire Jenna again as a babysitter.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with nearly five years of experience supporting children and families. I have worked as a Teacher Assistant in a daycare with children ages 18 months to 5 years, helping with daily routines, learning activities, behavior guidance, meals, and creating a safe, fun environment. As the oldest of four siblings, I also helped care for my younger brothers and sister from the time they were born. My youngest sibling is now 8 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children and families through New Jersey’s child welfare system, where I supported parents, monitored child safety, and connected families with resources. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have completed my Master’s in Social Work, along with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) training. I believe in positive reinforcement, kindness, and building trusting relationships with every child. I’m happy to assist with homework, playtime, light meal preparation, bedtime routines, transportation, light housekeeping, and pet care. Families can count on me to be responsible, organized, compassionate, and dedicated to providing safe, nurturing, and reliable care.

Pearl River
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.

Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!
