Booked by 26 families in Collingswood, NJ

Hello parents, families and those seeking help in the NJ area! I’m a New Jersey–based sitter available up to 4 hours a day, 2–3 days a week. I offer gentle, attentive care for infants through age 3, light pet care for pets that don’t need a lot of physical activity, and limited senior support like rides to doctor appointments or quick drop-in visits for medication reminders and light mobility exercises. I focus on calm, low-stress care so I can show up fully and reliably. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to connect!

Charmell $18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a healthy, mature, caring, patient and dependable adult. I’m also a grandmother. I have a master’s degree in Education and I have taught grades 6-8 for 9 years. I love children of all ages. I’m easy to work with, proactive, considerate, and respectful. I drive, I speak Spanish, French, and Italian, and I can help with school work. I’m also a great cook! I work in Camden NJ weekdays from 7am to 3:45pm. I’m available from 4pm to 10pm Monday through Friday and I’m free daytimes or the occasional evening on the weekends. I can help with meal preparation, household chores, transport of children from school or to activities, pet care, and errands as needed.

Lindsey $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lindsey, a reliable and caring sitter with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. Throughout college, I worked at a school, where I gained hands-on experience supporting and engaging with children in a structured environment. I’m patient, organized, and attentive, and I love creating a safe, positive space for kids- whether that’s helping with homework, doing activities, or following routines. I’m also very communicative and dependable, so you can feel confident your children are in good hands. I also love dogs and have one of my own! I’d love to support your family!

Hallie $22 per hour for 1 child

I have ten years of experience working as a childcare provider and educator. I have worked as a preschool teacher at a montessori school, full time nanny, special needs caretaker, dance teacher, personal assistant, dog sitter, camp counselor, and tutor. I have experience working with infants through adults. My approach as a nanny is to nurture each child’s personal development, foster creativity and learning, and most importantly to ensure health and safety. I genuinely love working with children and I do my best to meet each family’s individual needs.
