Find a last-minute babysitter in Mahwah, NJ

Hi families! I’m Alexa, a nurturing, playful, and dependable caregiver with years of hands-on childcare experience. From daycares, teaching, babysitting and now a nanny for a private family of two years my experience is pretty well-rounded and has given me the skills to adapt to each child’s unique needs with ease and care. I love creating safe, engaging environments where kids can play, learn, and grow with care. From imaginative play and outdoor adventures I’m all about giving children my full attention and making every day both fun and structured. Families describe me as reliable, and genuinely connected to the little ones I care for. I bring patience, creativity, and a big heart to everything I do and your child’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority!

I'm a full-time student attending Montclair State University. I am very responsible with kids of all ages, as I am the oldest of my seven siblings. They range from 1 year to 10 years old. I was also a foster kid, so I've taken care of many of my foster siblings as well. I am looking for work during the breaks (summer, winter, and spring) and am also available to work weekends.

Hello, My name is Maggie and I’m excited to apply for the caregiver position. I bring with me a strong sense of responsibility, deep compassion, and a genuine love for helping others. I’ve always believed that caregiving is not just a job—it’s a commitment of the heart. I take pride in being reliable and trustworthy, showing up consistently for the people, children, pets or homes I care for, both emotionally and physically. Whether it's assisting with daily tasks, providing companionship, chasing a toddler or simply being a calming presence, I give my full attention and respect to the individual’s needs. My honesty and loyalty are values I live by. Families who have trusted me with their loved one, thier homes and or fur babies have always appreciated my open communication, integrity, and long-term dedication. each person, child, pet and home I care for as if they were my own family—with kindness, dignity, and love. Being a caregiver is more than a role to me—it’s a calling. And I am committed to making a positive, meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve. Thank you for considering me. I would be honored to bring my heart and skills into your home. Sincerely Maggie

Hello, I'm Eman. I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience, having helped raise several children in my family from infancy through adolescence. The youngest is 7, and the oldest will be graduating college in the next few years (I still can't believe it!). Being closely involved in their lives has given me a strong, intuitive understanding of children at every stage. I also have some professional childcare experience from my time at KinderCare, but I thrive most in one-on-one or small-family settings where I can give children my full attention. I’m patient, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids—especially toddlers. I’m comfortable with diapers, bottle feeding, and nap routines (may need a short adjustment period if caring for infants). Homework help, reading, and bedtime routines are truly my jam. I enjoy preparing meals or snacks for children and don’t mind tidying toys or children’s spaces, but I focus strictly on childcare and not general household help. I’m fluent in multiple languages and am happy to help with language exposure if parents are interested. I respect family routines, boundaries, and parenting styles, and value clear, open communication. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and available for date nights or occasional care during off-hours. I also have experience providing companionship for seniors through listening and quality time. I’m comfortable working in homes with calm, small pets after meeting them, but not large or high-energy animals. Caring for children is more than a job to me—it’s a calling, and I approach every family with responsibility, heart, and genuine care. A little bit about me personally, I studied fashion design and am a dress maker by trade. I love arts and crafts since I was a toddler and am happy to share some of my crafting activities with kids or even parents. I'm trying to be more fit and active and am into indoor rock climbing and orange theory. If anyone has recommendations for good OT coaches, I'm all ears :). Hosting is second nature to me and my family, so recently I started a luxury picnic and party decorating business, which thankfully has been going well. Right now it's the off season so I'm looking to fill the gap with some nannying roles.
