Lindsey $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lindsey, a reliable and caring sitter with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. Throughout college, I worked at a school, where I gained hands-on experience supporting and engaging with children in a structured environment. I’m patient, organized, and attentive, and I love creating a safe, positive space for kids- whether that’s helping with homework, doing activities, or following routines. I’m also very communicative and dependable, so you can feel confident your children are in good hands. I also love dogs and have one of my own! I’d love to support your family!

Booked by 26 families in Somerdale, NJ

Hello parents, families and those seeking help in the NJ area! I’m a New Jersey–based sitter available up to 4 hours a day, 2–3 days a week. I offer gentle, attentive care for infants through age 3, light pet care for pets that don’t need a lot of physical activity, and limited senior support like rides to doctor appointments or quick drop-in visits for medication reminders and light mobility exercises. I focus on calm, low-stress care so I can show up fully and reliably. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to connect!

“Iesha was great with my boys… My 10 year old said she’s the best babysitter they’ve EVER had!!!”
