I currently work for a family taking care of two young girls. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, preparing them for bed, and cleaning/cooking. I love my job as each day I learn something new and relearn to view the world though a child's point of view. Previously, I worked transporting kids of special needs in the yellow school bus. I as well have experience working as a home attendant with children and senior citizens for four years. I am also a single mom of two daughters. One is a nurse and the other one is studying in college. In addition, I ,myself, am studying in college working to get my GED and associates degree for medical assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, and sewing. I am a friendly and patient person and love taking care of others.

Hi, My name is Angela and am originally from Wales in Great Britain, UK. I am now a triple citizen (USA, UK, Italy). My vacation to America back in 1981 resulted in acquiring a green card from working as a Governess/Nany for a Dr. and his family in Tenafly, NJ. The children, boy & girl were 7 & 4 years of age when took care of them. I love children and have recently returned to babysitting. My work is video production therefore have a flexible schedule as run my own business. I am divorced and have no children and have 2 nieces in New Jersey and a nephew in Wales. My hobbies are dance, music, photography and yoga, recently completing my teachers training in yoga. Here is a recent testimonial: "Angela has done a wonderful job caring for my daughters, ages 4 and 7. She picks them up from school 3 days per week in two different locations and takes them to after school activities. She has been extremely reliable and easy to communicate with, and is kind and patient with my girls. I always feel confident that they are in good hands. We are so fortunate to have her helping us out with our busy after school schedule! I would highly recommend her to other parents."

“Angela was our regular babysitter for nearly 2 years, from when our son was 2-3 years old until we had our second baby. She did pick up for us 1-2x a week. Angela is a gem of a find in NYC -- extremely reliable, flexible, gentle, gracious and a truly good person. She is like hiring an aunt or extended family member. She will love your children, practice yoga with them, dote on them and be a beautiful presence in your own life. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their support network!”
