Booked by 44 families in Kendall Park, 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.

While this would be my first time baby sitting officially, I have a strong background in working with children through my experience as a student athlete over the past four years, where I engaged with kids in various settings such as camps and after games. My time in these roles has honed my patience and understanding, qualities that are important for caregiving. Additionally, growing up with my mother, a neonatologist in the NICU, has given me invaluable insights into infant care and a deep appreciation for working with babies. I have often gone with my mother to her work, which has made me even more passionate about caring for young children and has given me hands-on experience. These experiences make me well-qualified to be a reliable and caring babysitter.

Hi! I'm Isabel and I am currently a student at GW in DC, but I grew up here in Princeton. I'm studying Nutrition and Exercise Science, and I plan to pursue a career in pediatric nursing. I have over a year of experience babysitting a 9 year old girl in the morning before school. I'm comfortable managing routines, communicating with parents, keeping things organized, and creating a safe and positive environment. I'm positive, responsible, and know when to take initiative while still keeping things fun and engaging. I really enjoy outdoors activities, the beach, and cooking. I'm happy to play games with the kids, do arts and crafts, and help with homework. I also have experience caring for dogs and am happy to help with household tasks as needed. I'd love to opportunity to work with your family!
