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!
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.
Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and sweet person who truly enjoys spending time with children and pets. I have 2–3 years of experience caring for kids between 1 and 7 years old. I love creating safe, happy, and loving environments where kids can learn and have fun. Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, reading stories, dancing, and outdoor games. I’m patient, respectful, and always make sure the children feel comfortable and cared for. In addition to babysitting, I also enjoy pet sitting — I love dogs and feel very comfortable taking care of them, whether it’s walking, feeding, or playing. Families describe me as reliable, kind, and gentle, and I always do my best to make their day easier while keeping their children and pets safe and happy.
Hi! I'm Faatimah - former teacher/babysitter, current small business owner. I have worked with children for over a decade, and spent the last few years working primarily with one family (two kids, one of whom I helped raise from infancy). I am very comfortable with infants, and spent the last few months doing night nanny duties for a NICU premie after he came home from the hospital. I am very comfortable handling multiple children at once. Open to part-time mornings/ occasional sittings only.
Hi- My name is Olu, and i’m currently a freshman in college and work as an assistant teacher at a daycare in Madison, where I’ve been for about a year. In my role, I supervise playtime, lead simple learning activities, help with meals and naps, and make sure the children are in a safe, supportive environment throughout the day. I’ve been working with kids since I was about 13 and have experience with children of different ages, though I have the most experience with kids between the ages of 1 and 6. Working with younger children has helped me develop a lot of patience and attentiveness, and I’m very comfortable helping manage routines while still making sure kids are having fun. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize safety and communication with families. I enjoy doing different activities with kids such as reading, crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I usually adapt to what the children are interested in so they feel comfortable and engaged. In addition to supervising and playing with the kids, I’m also happy to help with basic caregiving tasks like preparing simple meals and helping with bath time when needed. Families often describe me as dependable, calm, and easy to communicate with, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun environment for your children.
