$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I recently graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Psychology & Elementary Education. I am continuing my education next year to earn my master’s degree in Special Education. I have several years of experience working with children through summer camps, tutoring, volunteer programs, and classroom placements. I have worked with children of different ages and abilities, including students with special needs. Responsibilities have included supervising activities, helping with homework, creating fun crafts and games, preparing meals/snacks, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. Families would describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and energetic. I love building positive relationships with children and creating a safe, supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged. I am also happy to help with light household tasks, organization, meal prep, and pet care.

Hi! I’m Peyton. I’m 31 and have over 15 years of experience providing childcare in NYC, Boston, Los Angeles, and Virginia for kids of all ages. I love encouraging creativity, imaginative play, and outdoor activity to support children’s emotional and physical wellbeing. My background as a professional organizer means I naturally keep spaces tidy and organized, and my years performing on Disney cruise ships taught me how to engage, entertain, and connect with children in fun, playful ways. I can prepare healthy meals and have experience managing food allergies and dietary restrictions. Available for occasional date nights or daytime caregiving!

Hello! My name is Jordan. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education with a concentration in English and a Masters degree in Literacy through Pace University! I have completed hundreds of hours student teaching as well as occasionally substituting when needed. I am originally from Long Island, New York and for the past two winters I have lived in Hawaii then Puerto Rico. I love babysitting and have been doing so since I was 12 years old for family and friends! I have experiences with a large range of ages from both babysitting and teaching. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs. Additionally, I am open to doing some house work. I can cook, clean, and run errands.

Jordan was so great & our kids loved her. Definitely would recommend
