Find a last-minute babysitter in South Orange, NJ

I’m an art teacher with nearly 10 years of experience working with children of various ages. Over the years, I’ve worked as an after-school counselor, a camp counselor, and currently as a full-time teacher. These roles have given me a strong foundation in child development, classroom management, and creating engaging, structured environments where kids feel both supported and inspired. What makes me a great caregiver is my personality as much as my experience. I’m very personable, patient, and kind, and I naturally connect with children by being a bit silly and playful while still maintaining clear boundaries. I believe in building genuine relationships with kids—so they feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves—not just seeing me as an authority figure. In addition to childcare, I’m also comfortable supporting light household needs and maintaining an organized, calm environment. As for pets, I grew up with cats and currently have one of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily pet care, feeding routines, and understanding animal behavior. I’m comfortable caring for cats and open to supporting families with pets as well. Overall, I bring a balance of creativity, responsibility, warmth, and structure to any caregiving role.
