I'm a full-time student attending Montclair State University. I am very responsible with kids of all ages, as I am the oldest of my seven siblings. They range from 1 year to 10 years old. I was also a foster kid, so I've taken care of many of my foster siblings as well. I am looking for work during the breaks (summer, winter, and spring) and am also available to work weekends.
I’m a 20 year old college student looking mainly for weekend work/ part time to help pay for school. I don’t have much paid experience but I have lots of personal experience. When I was younger my mom was a nanny and I was always her little assistant helping out with the kids she looked after ranging from ages 1-8. I also have a niece that I look after every now and then who just turned 4. Lastly throughout the week I work as a pediatric dental assistant so caring for kids comes naturally! If you have pets I have experience on caring for reptiles, cats and dogs. Cpr/ first aid/BLS certified: ✅ Meals and light housekeeping: ✅ Own transportation:✅
Working with children has always been close to my heart. Through years of experience in nonprofit programs and children’s ministry at my local church, I’ve learned how meaningful it is to create a space where children feel safe, included, and cared for. As a head camp counselor, I had the chance to create fun, enriching experiences for the children in my care. My studies in child advocacy and policy have also deepened my understanding of children’s needs and well-being. I’m warm, patient, playful, and attentive, and I love finding ways to make children laugh, learn, and feel valued. I know how much a caring mentor can mean in a child’s life, and I hope to be that person for the children I work with.
Hello, my name is Cynthia. I am a retired preschool teacher offering warm, dependable childcare and babysitting services. I hold a degree in Child Services from Montclair State University and have hands-on classroom experience working with children of all ages. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, feel safe and cared for. In addition to teaching, I have lovingly cared for my three grandchildren and taught ballet to young students at Newark School of the Arts. My schedule is flexible, with a preference for afternoon and evening hours (but I will accommodate as needed). I have a valid New Jersey driving record and pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to children’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family with caring, responsible childcare.
Hi! I'm Keziah, a full-time college student studying Business Administration with several years of childcare, tutoring, and camp experience. I've worked with children ranging from infants to pre-teens in both group and one-on-one settings, including supervising children during camp activities and public outings around town. I'm known for being calm, responsible, organized, and dependable. I enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment for kids while still maintaining structure, safety, and attentiveness. I naturally communicate with children in a respectful and encouraging way that helps them feel heard, confident, and comfortable. In addition to babysitting, I also have experience helping with homework and tutoring in subjects like math and English. I'm certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/ CPR/AED, and my availability can be flexible around my college schedule, especially evenings and weekends.
“Keziah has been wonderful with our children including our twin toddlers. She has handled the chaos of our young family with grace and handles the unpredictability of twin toddlers and a preschooler with poise.”
