Looking forward to meeting you and spending time with your family. I prefer and have experience with older children and welcome a household with pets as well.
Hi, My name is Lesley, and I'm currently work in the public school system. I am offering my child care services. With over 8 year working with children in schools and 17 years of hands-on parenting, I bring patience, responsibility and a supportive approach to childcare. As a parent , I understand the importance of creating a safe, fun and engaging environment. My experience includes assisting with homework, organizing activities and ensuring your child’s well-being. I am responsible, patient and reliable. Whether it’s school task, meals, or playtime, I make sure children feel safe an happy. Your child’s care is my priority.
Hi, My name is Aimee and I was born and raised in North Jersey. As a creative, I am a huge advocate for self expression and being yourself. And spending time with children reminds me the importance of that. I've been working with kids for over ten years and as the oldest of five, caring for children and being attentive to their needs is first nature to me. I have experience nannying & babysitting the kids of my neighbors, aunts, uncles etc. Also, I've worked as a Substitute nanny, date-night nanny and as a teacher's assistant in daycare centers/preschools. My favorite part of nannying is when I see a child grow more confident in themselves and their abilities. There's something about seeing a child do something that they thought they couldn't do, it warms my heart :) With your child, I plan to teach them, care for them, go on plenty of walks with them (parks are epic), visit the library, a museum, have a dance party or two and just support their development and individuality. That was a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you! All the best, Aimee A.
“Aimee was great. She was punctual and engaged my 5 year old very well. ”
I am an energetic, responsible, and reliable college graduate. I have been successfully babysitting for over six years and have experience babysitting children ranging from infants to 13 years old.
