Booked by 44 families in Hazlet, NJ

I recently moved to Highland Park and will be starting my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at Rutgers (New Brunswick) this September. At the moment, I am only looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Before moving to NJ this summer, I lived in New York City for five years while completing my master’s degree at Columbia University and working in the field of youth mental health. My education in Clinical Psychology, along with my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Child Development from UC Davis, has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and children’s needs. I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages in a variety of settings. I’ve had numerous part-time nanny and babysitting jobs with children ranging from newborns to 15 years old. I also worked as a camp counselor for many years and as a math and reading tutor. I’m happy to help with homework, tutoring, and even college applications. I am reliable, extremely empathetic, kind, and funny, and I easily connect with kids to create a fun and safe environment. Lastly, I am a big animal lover and am open to pet sitting jobs as well!

Wonderful, responsible, and kind. Hope we can work with her again.

Booked by 7 families in Hazlet, NJ

Hi! I’m Chloe, a ER nurse with over 8 years of experience working with children. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids can thrive. Before becoming a nurse, I spent over 5 years performing as a princess at Disneyland, bringing creativity, imagination, and joy to children every day. I’ve also worked in classrooms, volunteered through my church, and led a boot camp for more than 100 girls ages 3–12. I have a reliable car with a clean driving record and am happy to help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, transportation to activities, and errands. Babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I love building relationships with families. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, baking, reading, or playing games, I strive to keep children active, engaged, and having fun while always prioritizing their safety. I’m calm, responsible, and adaptable, and I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and parenting style.

Edison
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Hazlet, NJ

I am a pre-med biology graduate from Morgan State University and a certified medical assistant. These studies have strengthened my understanding of health and safety, which is crucial to being a competent caregiver. As I continue my path of education, I hope to become a pediatrician who expresses my genuine compassion for caring for kids, not just physically but emotionally as well. As one of the oldest kids in my family, I have been accustomed to babysitting for quite some time. From babysitting my newborn nieces and nephews overnight to watching my cousins for almost a week. I also have experience in animal sitting for 2 years, whether that be dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Caregiving has been a pivotal part of my life since I was younger, growing up in my household. Having to assist my younger brother and sister with homework, cooking them dinner, and being a beacon of knowledge, care, and love for them. I love caregiving because I enjoy being a dependable person that people can count on. It gives me a sense of purpose because I know that I am playing an essential role in their life. Constantly showing up and being present, supporting their development, reminds me that even little, everyday actions such as these are the ones that make a difference and create a village for kids to be nurtured and grow healthily.

On time, kids were very comfortable and had fun while my husband and I went to the movies!
