Anbriel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

Hi! I’m AJ! 😊 I have over 2 years of professional childcare experience working with infants and toddlers at The Goddard School. I’m patient, caring, dependable, and love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can feel comfortable and be themselves. I’m also big on communication and will always keep parents updated while their little ones are in my care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help make your days a little easier! 💕

Booked by 1 family in Far Hills, NJ

Love kids & dogs. I have 4 boys with lots of experience. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!)

Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

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.
