“Amazing sitter who easily managed 3 children, got our baby to bed and back to bed- a baby who is not easy, and kept our boys happy and totally entertained drawing and playing. So sweet and highly communicative. A total pro that my boys enjoyed. Can’t wait to have her back! ”

Hi, my name is Anikka and I have graduated with a Sociology Degree with a minor in Spanish. I have obtained my masters degree in School Counseling to hopefully become a School Counselor. I have been working with children since i was 14 years old and have been continuing to do for the past 12 years. During these past 12 years, I have babysat children ranging from infancy through 11 years of age. In addition, I was a tutor for 5 years where i have helped children with their homework and helping them advance to the next reading level. In the previous summers, i had the chance to work at a summer day camp as the head counselor where I had identify the campers needs and talk to parents on issues that their child may be going through. Lastly, I promote and encourage healthy and safe behaviors to children. I love babysitting because I love making everlasting memories with the children while teaching them new things. In my free time, i like to crochet scarves, write songs, cooking, gardening, drawing, playing video games, just simply being me!

Booked by 3 families in Little Silver, NJ

Hi- My name is Leslie and I’m currently a part time childcare provider and student at Hunter College. I have been caring for children since I was 12 years old and absolutely love it, I am easy going and energetic. Those early interactions with kids is what led me to my career path of studying Early Childhood Education and becoming a teacher. In past and present years my responsibilities have been everything from playing with kids, making meals/snacks, diaper changing, taking to various activities, reading to them, helping with homework, light tidying up, school pick ups and a host of other duties. I have worked with all ages ranging from newborns to pre teens and can also offer numerous references on site if that is something that would make any family feel more at ease. My experience with the elderly/seniors is associated with the care of both my grandparents. I have assisted with giving medications, helping in daily hygiene care, cleaning and making beds, cooking/food prep, taking to appointments and just generally being a friendly ear and companion to help brave the long hours in the day. I look forward to being of great help to any families that need it.

“Leslie is absolutely wonderful. She has watched our infant son since he was 4 mos old! With my son, Leslie is engaging, kind, energetic and was wonderful at soothing him for nap time. With us, Leslie is dependable, considerate, and an overall joy to be around. Leslie has not only bonded with Lucas but also our small doodle. If you are looking for someone to help out with your infant, Leslie is definitely the one! However, it’s clear she excels at bonding and engaging with children of all ages with her personality and vast educational experience! Thank you so much Leslie!! See you soon :) :)”
