Sofia $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Roselle, NJ

I’m 26 years old. I had been working as a babysitter the last 2 years. I got experience with kids from ages around 4 and 12 years old. I know it can be hard to find someone that you can trust your kids. I’m open to have a call interview and answer to all your concerns. I love to be around kids and I try to be creative with all the activities and the usual things that we need to learn with them during the every day routine. For me being patient and confident is a key to work with kids.

Faatimah $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Faatimah - former teacher/babysitter, current small business owner. I have worked with children for over a decade, and spent the last few years working primarily with one family (two kids, one of whom I helped raise from infancy). I am very comfortable with infants, and spent the last few months doing night nanny duties for a NICU premie after he came home from the hospital. I am very comfortable handling multiple children at once. Open to part-time mornings/ occasional sittings only.

Aissatou $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Aissatou. I am currently an MBA student with 10+ years of experience caregiving for children, pets and the elderly. I am a compassionate, caring and reliable person who can cook, clean, and run errands. My love for caregiving began when I would babysit my neighbor’s children at 17 years old while their single mom would work late shifts. The look of joy that she would give me when she returned to a clean home and children that were cared for was extremely rewarding and gave me a sense of pride. During my summer breaks in college, I would help take care of my elderly neighbor when her primary caregiver was away. I would cook, clean, do her laundry and help administer her medication. The admiration I had for her was so strong that when she was moved to a nursing home, I became a volunteer there. The incredible stories and lessons I learned from the wonderful residents are priceless. I look forward to providing the best care possible!
