Kenya $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kenya, but I prefer to be called Ken. I am a graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ, and a proud alumna of the Special Dance Company. I am currently pursuing my education at Union County College in Cranford, majoring in Health Science, with the goal of entering the medical field—specifically pediatrics. I am a very family-oriented person, and spending quality time with loved ones has always been a priority for me. The joy and connection I’ve experienced with family and friends inspired my passion for childcare. I have 3–5 years of childcare experience, and I understand that caring for children requires patience, multitasking, and attention to detail. My priority as a babysitter is to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I strive to support their development through engaging activities and positive guidance. To ensure safety and well-being, I focus on: - Maintaining clear communication with both children and parents. - Keeping a clean and healthy environment to prevent the spread of germs. - Planning both indoor and outdoor activities that promote learning and creativity. - Following consistent daily schedules, including nap times. - Encouraging a warm, supportive atmosphere where children feel valued. Childhood is such an important stage of life, and I am committed to making it both safe and memorable for the children in my care. Thank you!

Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and sweet person who truly enjoys spending time with children and pets. I have 2–3 years of experience caring for kids between 1 and 7 years old. I love creating safe, happy, and loving environments where kids can learn and have fun. Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, reading stories, dancing, and outdoor games. I’m patient, respectful, and always make sure the children feel comfortable and cared for. In addition to babysitting, I also enjoy pet sitting — I love dogs and feel very comfortable taking care of them, whether it’s walking, feeding, or playing. Families describe me as reliable, kind, and gentle, and I always do my best to make their day easier while keeping their children and pets safe and happy.
