D'Nasia $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elizabeth, NJ

Hi there! My name is D'Nasia and these are few reasons why I am a great caregiver! Responsible: Babysitters need to be reliable and responsible, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in their care. I am a very organized and responsible caretaker and treat children that I'm babysitting as if they are my own. Patient: Dealing with children can sometimes be challenging, so patience is a valuable quality to have when handling their needs and behaviors. I have frequently babysat children with special needs and my little brother is autistic, which has truly taught me the importance of being patient and empathetic. Good communication skills: I am able to communicate effectively with both children and parents. I have a "Babysitting notebook" that helps in understanding the children's needs and informing parents about their child's well-being; this notebook helps me monitor the child's allergies, safety concerns, play-time preferences, food-preferences, and more. Creativity: I am great at keeping kids busy and engaged! Whether it's watching Miss Rachel or planning engaging activities and games, I can make babysitting more enjoyable for children and myself. Adaptability: Children have different needs, personalities, and moods. My ability to be flexible and adaptable is key to handling various situations. Reliable and punctual: I am always on time (and by that I mean 15min early) to fulfill your responsibilities in a reliable and professional manner. Boundaries: I am great at setting and enforcing appropriate boundaries with the family in order maintain order and ensure their safety.

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!
