Hi – My name is Chrystal, and I offer child care services. I have about 3 years of experience working with children with autism and various backgrounds in the classroom setting. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and aim to create a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy photography and engaging in creative activities such as arts and crafts, games, etc. I also drive and am happy to help with school pickups and activities as needed. Please note that I’m allergic to cats and have a fear of large dogs, so I prefer pet-free homes or those where pets are secured.
Hello, my name is Cynthia. I am a retired preschool teacher offering warm, dependable childcare and babysitting services. I hold a degree in Child Services from Montclair State University and have hands-on classroom experience working with children of all ages. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, feel safe and cared for. In addition to teaching, I have lovingly cared for my three grandchildren and taught ballet to young students at Newark School of the Arts. My schedule is flexible, with a preference for afternoon and evening hours (but I will accommodate as needed). I have a valid New Jersey driving record and pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to children’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family with caring, responsible childcare.
Hi! I'm Keziah, a full-time college student studying Business Administration with several years of childcare, tutoring, and camp experience. I've worked with children ranging from infants to pre-teens in both group and one-on-one settings, including supervising children during camp activities and public outings around town. I'm known for being calm, responsible, organized, and dependable. I enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment for kids while still maintaining structure, safety, and attentiveness. I naturally communicate with children in a respectful and encouraging way that helps them feel heard, confident, and comfortable. In addition to babysitting, I also have experience helping with homework and tutoring in subjects like math and English. I'm certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/ CPR/AED, and my availability can be flexible around my college schedule, especially evenings and weekends.
“Keziah has been wonderful with our children including our twin toddlers. She has handled the chaos of our young family with grace and handles the unpredictability of twin toddlers and a preschooler with poise.”
Currently working as a manager at gopuff operations for 4years. I am learning to be a yoga instructor, for all ages. I have a chihuahua terrier that is kid friendly and my baby.

“Tiyona is lovely! She connected easily w our daughter and will definitely be back. ”
I have a strong background in caregiving that began in my high school years, where I regularly babysat for families in my community. As the second oldest of six girls, I grew up helping care for my five younger sisters, so nurturing, guiding, and supporting children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages and understand how to keep them engaged, safe, and cared for. I also have plenty of experience with pets. I grew up with two dogs at my mom’s house and now have one of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, walking, and giving animals the attention they need. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m highly organized and maintain a clean, tidy space. I’m able to help with light housekeeping, daily routines, and anything that keeps a home running smoothly. Overall, I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy supporting families. My mix of experience, personality, and hands-on caregiving makes me a reliable and trustworthy helper.
