Find a last-minute babysitter in Fords, NJ

Hello! I'm a responsible and experienced childcare provider who enjoys working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I'm CPR and First Aid certified for adults and children, and safety is always my top priority. I create a nurturing and positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I'm happy to help with homework, educational activities, and creative play, as well as assist with light household duties and meal prep. I have my own reliable transportation, making it easy to handle school drop-offs, pick-ups, and activities. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about providing quality care.

I am a substitute teacher with 21-plus years of experience, working with children, with ages ranging from infants to high school students. I enjoy arts and crafts and cooking.

I have five years of professional childcare experience as a Teaching Assistant at You’re Adorable Nursery School in the Bronx. In this role, I cared for young children, organized interactive story times and learning activities, welcomed prospective families, and trained new employees to maintain a high standard of care. I was also trusted to babysit the nursery school owner’s three daughters outside of work. Additionally, I regularly care for my four nieces and nephews, giving me continued hands-on experience with children of different ages. I’m patient, nurturing, responsible, and attentive. I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with meals and routines, and keeping children safe and engaged. I’m also dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. My professional experience and close involvement with my nieces and nephews have made childcare something that comes very naturally to me.

Hey there! I’m Jennifer — part-time nursing student, full-time fun-bringer, and your go-to babysitter with 5+ years of experience wrangling giggles, snacks, and sibling squabbles like a pro. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, but I especially love hanging out with those 6 and up! Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Helping kids learn, grow, and have fun is what got me started and what keeps me going. I’m calm, patient, creative, and known for being the “cool babysitter” (okay, maybe I said that—but still!). I’m happy looking after up to three kiddos at once, and I love activities that keep us all moving and thinking—like outdoor games, puzzles, board games, and crafts. I always stick to the rules you set, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates however you prefer. Bottom line: I want to be someone you can trust and your kids are excited to see walk through the door. Let’s make babysitting awesome together!

Hi! My name is Jackie and I have my teaching degree from SUNY Cortland and am certified in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education. I'm currently pursuing my masters in Early Childhood Literacy from LIU. I'm looking for a fulfilling role as a nanny and to help children grow and prosper! I am very active and love to do activities such as crafts, sports, games, and whatever else their interests are. I have many years of experience with kids from having worked in schools, a daycare, and babysitting from a young age. My most recent role was in a primary school so my heart loves the little ones, but I really enjoy all ages! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out :)
