Booked by 5 families in Verona, NJ

I'm a current college senior studying Psychology with a focus on becoming an advocate for children. I have 3 years of experience as a babysitter and as a preschool teacher. I previously worked as a preschool teacher for children ages 2-4 1/2. I also created daily itineraries for our aftercare and summer program for kids ages 6 to 13 years old. I am First Aid + CPR certified. I frequently volunteer with my local elementary/middle school for a program that promotes reading amount young kids and fostering a love of books. I frequently babysit in New York and am very familiar with the city. I have babysat in the city before including taking kids to museums/parks. I love creating fun and creative learning opportunities for children and being silly with them, and allowing them to express themselves in fun and creative ways! :) Feel free to reach out with questions or for references!

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.

Tracy $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello. My name is Tracy, and I specialize in comprehensive after-school care. Located in northern NJ, I am seeking a long-term position (10-15 hours a week) to support a family throughout the school year and summer months. I’ve spent years being the "go-to" person for busy parents, managing the delicate balance of homework, tutoring, and getting kids to their various sports and activities on time. I believe in maintaining an organized environment and am happy to help with light household tidying to keep things running smoothly. I’m excited to bring my experience to a new family soon! I am happy to share my many references once we determine my suitability for your family.

Sofia $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Verona, 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.
