Booked by 7 families in Middletown, 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.

Giana $25 per hour for 1 child

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.
