A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Riley, a high school senior and certified EMT, so safety is always a top priority—and any little accidents will be in good hands. I’m new to babysitting, but I’ve always been dependable, patient, and great with kids. I love spending time with them, helping with homework, and coming up with fun activities. I’m happy to follow routines, keep things tidy, and make sure everyone feels safe and cared for. I’m really excited to start gaining experience and help out families who need an extra hand!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Bri. I am a 17 year old recent high school graduate, planning to attend HACC in the Fall for Allied Health. I’m the middle child of 2 brothers with 4 cats and 1 dog, while also currently working in a childrens amusement park, so I am quite comfortable with chaotic, high energy environments. I’m licensed with my own vehicle, comfortable with pets, willing to do some light housework and help with some homework! While I don’t have any professional experience yet, I have spent many hours caring for younger family members, and I love spending time around kids, whether we’re taking walks around the neighborhood, playing in the park, reading books or playing games, I’d be more than happy to help out with your little ones!

A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Jodi-Ann and I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and have been babysitting since I was 13. Keeping your kids safe and entertained is what I provide while you are away. I would be able to do full time still I’m good with multitasking so I don’t think this will get in my way. I am very imaginative and a kid at heart so your kid will never have a dull day with me. I am open to light house keeping along with mini meal preps if you’d like extra help. I can also help with homework if needed. I have documents from my former major for a background check including other certificates I will provide if needed. If you are looking for extra hands and safety for your child I am the one for you! :) Currently I do work for a small local business in New Jersey called "On Point Pest Control" remotely but as of now I am working mostly from home until I do go back in office


SIDE NOTE: I currently do not have a CAR but I can can still Uber/Lyft to and from my destination! :)

"Jordin-Simone always went above and beyond while she was caring for my children. They grew a strong bond and love for her over the past few years. We rarely even have someone taking care of our children because no matter what she always makes time for my family which we greatly appreciate! She has definitely became apart of our family over the years! We’ve even recommended her to friends and family. You’ll be lucky to have her!"
