We have two kids, age 3 & 5. And two silly dogs. My husband works full time in New York and I work part time locally and from home as a branding and marketing consultant. We have the bulk of our childcare in place, but no back up! So, I'm hoping to find another great babysitter that could work occasional nights (weekday or weekend) and is also open to day time back-up needs.

Our dogs are completely loving, but also full of quirks (pillow chewing, barking at the TV, sitting on unwanted laps), so it's just as important for our babysitters to be dog-lovers. We also live on a dead-end with an energetic neighborhood of kids, so if the weather's nice, we get outside and join the neighborhood crew.

My daughter goes to a private school in Nutley where her grandmother is the school nurse. She is in 5th grade and loves to sing, dance (she takes four dance classes during the week), act and read (ALL THE TIME!). My daughter and I love to cook and bake together, watch movies, LOTS of Food Network shows, frequent trips to the library, and occasionally I can drag her out to the tennis courts with me. We are very active in our church and I sing in our music program. I often work long hours, but my parents live close by and are available to jump in and help out when we need. I am the director of FP&A for DevaCurl - a company that specializes in products for curly hair. I have been with them for almost fours year and love it.

We have a little girl (who is 3.5) and a little boy (who is almost 6). We are an active family who has a lot going on (who doesn't these days) and we would love to find someone to help us out. Sometimes the "job" will require care for both the children, sometimes, just care for one! Looking for sporadic help -- some night, some days, some weekends, some weekday. Looking forward to connecting.

We moved to Jersey from the city last year and are still getting acclimated to new school, new jobs, new everything (!). Both boys are shy and somewhat slow to warm but are cool little people with sweet personalities. We'd like full time help with our 3 year old who has limited verbal skills.

We have a 4 1/2 year-old daughter. My husband and I both work at NJCU in Jersey City.

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I live in Maplewood with my husband, Dan, and our daughters Madeline (5) and Charlotte (3). My husband and I both commute to NYC for work and are looking for a responsible, positive and energetic caregiver who would be a great role model for our girls. As a family we enjoy bike riding, having dance parties, cooking and playing outside.

Hi, we are an active family... all 3 of our kids play sports ( baseball, softball and floor hockey). Our fur baby is almost 1
And the cutest, sweetest pup ever. His name is Tucker. I work part time as a Lactation consultant for the NJ department of health and Scott, my husband works in NYC with smaller companies , helping them grow. We?ve been in NJ for 10 years and before that lived in NYC. I am from PA and Scott is from MD. We both Come from very big families and spend a lot of our free time with them. We love watching football and hockey, hiking, traveling and just hanging out with friends. I am looking for date night sitters and also a more long term sitter for after school on. the days I work.

1 kid, 3 cats, 2 parents. Love soccer, LEGO, Reading, the beach, county fairs, watching for bunnies in the yard, birding, Jigsaw puzzles, boardgames, pizza and other things. Pretty easy going. Two of us work in the city (in advertising and publishing), one of us goes to school!

My wife Emma Griffin and I have seven year old twins. Both she and I work in the performing arts and frequently require babysitting help in the evenings as we work on and see shows in the city.

Hi All,
In search of a sitter for Wednesday & Thursday Afternoons for my very sweet, independent, 8 year old girl. We're looking for someone to meet her at her bus stop at the end of our block around 2:30, and walk her home, give her a snack, help her with her homework, and play with her until around 5:00/5:30.

Thanks!
Joanna

My husband and I both work in education. I oversee student life at Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken) and Ben is a clinical child psychologist at the Collegiate School in Manhattan. We moved to Maplewood from Brooklyn about 2 years ago. Our kids are hilarious and a lot of fun. They both love art, dance, playing outside, music, skiing, and eating sweets.

We are two working professionals looking for a caring, energetic and highly organized babysitter to care for two active boys, 10 and 7, after they get out of school at 3:15PM, until we get home at 6:30 or 7:00PM. Ideal candidate will assist us to reinforce discipline and manners, help keep kids (and us) organized, ensure the kids complete their homework, and drive the kids to activities and to play dates.

We have 2 sons (ages 5 and 9) but need sitter for only our older son. We have a small dog (miniature schnauzer) and both work full-time outside of the home.

With two parents who work in NYC, we need a sitter who can pick up boys from schools and camp, and supervise homework. We provide a family car for driving boys to and from sports practices and music lessons. Light meal prep for dinner and assistance with the boys laundry.

We are recent transplants from NYC so we are really enjoying having a backyard to play in! The children also enjoy art, playing make believe, building with Legos, cooking, and dancing to tunes playing on the Echo. One parent commutes into NYC 4 days per week (graphic designer at a non-profit), and the other parent works from home about 60% of the time (filmmaker and photographer).

Dad and 3 kids. A 14 year old boy who pretty much keeps to himself and works part time after school so isnt around much and two girls (ages 11 and 9) who love art, fashion, theater and softball. We live in Livingston NJ.
