Booked by 37 families in Elizabeth, NJ

Hi, My name is Aimee and I was born and raised in North Jersey. As a creative, I am a huge advocate for self expression and being yourself. And spending time with children reminds me the importance of that. I've been working with kids for over ten years and as the oldest of five, caring for children and being attentive to their needs is first nature to me. I have experience nannying & babysitting the kids of my neighbors, aunts, uncles etc. Also, I've worked as a Substitute nanny, date-night nanny and as a teacher's assistant in daycare centers/preschools. My favorite part of nannying is when I see a child grow more confident in themselves and their abilities. There's something about seeing a child do something that they thought they couldn't do, it warms my heart :) With your child, I plan to teach them, care for them, go on plenty of walks with them (parks are epic), visit the library, a museum, have a dance party or two and just support their development and individuality. That was a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you! All the best, Aimee A.

Greetings! Mature, reliable, caring, and attentive Nursing professional available with own transportation. Perfect for Out-of-town Guests! I've been a Pediatric Nurse for over 35 years, in several major NYC children's Hospitals, specializing in Infant/Toddler, NICU, and PICU. My latest degree is PhD-Nursing. I am fingerprinted and background checked because I volunteer with foster children. I'm smoke-free, pet -free (but love pets), perfume-free, and have had my COVID, Tdap, flu & pneumococcal shots, so your child with respiratory sensitivities will be safe with me. Now a Full-Time Tenured Pediatric Nursing professor, I really enjoy being around healthy children, and am also available to sit your ill or medically fragile children. I not only know Pediatric CPR, but have successfully performed it multiple times in the ICU. I have RN and PNP licenses in NY and NJ. Having worked at a major Jewish hospital, I also learned how to keep your household Kosher, if needed. I love babysitting, and have always enjoyed caring for children in their own home. My friends have 10 kids and I'm the only person they will leave them all with - especially for the weekend! And yes - happy to show you an ID, a valid COVID Excelsior Pass, and BLS, First Aid & PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) cards (all valid until July 2023).Your kids are SAFE with me! Education - PhD - Nursing- CUNY Graduate Center, Pediatric NP - Adelphi University, MS Nursing - College of New Rochelle, BS Nursing - University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!!) During the academic year, my primary daytime commitment is to my students, so I am NOT usually available during the day (unless I have specifically applied for your job.)

“Susan helped us with puppy sitting during some of my work travel. She was professional and flexible with scheduling and kind and patient with our brand new pup, who is still very young and needy. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

Sara 3 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sara, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your children. I’m originally from Colombia but have been living in the U.S. for several years now. I speak perfect English and graduated here with a degree in Interior Design. While my background is creative, I’ve always had a strong connection with children and a passion for helping them grow, learn, and feel safe. I offer childcare services for kids ages 1y and up, including school pick-up/drop-off, healthy meal prep, homework help, and fun, hands-on activities tailored to their age and interests. Experience with age groups: I’ve cared for kids from 3 to 12 years old. My experience started in a preschool setting in Colombia, and since then I’ve worked closely with children of various ages—understanding their different needs and how to support them emotionally, socially, and mentally. Activities I enjoy with children: I love involving kids in creative activities like painting, drawing, and crafts—thanks to my design background. I also enjoy reading, cooking healthy meals, dancing, and playing educational games that are both fun and enriching. Special skills: • Homework help • Cooking nutritious meals • Creative learning through art and play • Fluent in English and Spanish Certifications and training: I have hands-on experience from working in a school environment in Colombia. I’m currently planning to complete CPR and first-aid certification here in the U.S. to provide even better care.

“Sara takes care of my dog Brussels. Brussels is an Aussie Labradoodle. He is my service dog and Sara has helped me complete his training and achieve his certification as my service dog. I trust her with him and she has full access to my house at all times. Sara has taken care of Brussels for over three years and she helps me with all his needs, including vet visits, grooming, and food restrictions. She has been an angel in our lives and we are blessed to have her help us. Thank you Sara for everything you do for us!!!”
