Yamel J.

Sitter / Nanny

I have a bachelors degree in International Criminal Justice. However, I’ve been working with kids from newborns to 17 years old. I was first a youth care worker and then I got promoted as a Social Worker which what I am currently doing. As a social worker with 2+ years of hands-on experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with children from diverse backgrounds, many of whom have faced challenging circumstances. This experience has not only strengthened my ability to understand and address their needs but has also equipped me with a strong foundation in creating a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment for children. I’ve had different experiences, where my role as a social worker is always influencing the well-being of children, demonstrating why I am an ideal choice for taking care of parents' children. During this time at a local child welfare agency, dealing with different cases allowed me to reinforce my understanding of how important it is to not only address children’s immediate physical and emotional needs but also to create a stable, supportive environment where they feel heard, valued, and loved. It also demonstrated how integral my role as a social worker can be in helping both the child and the family navigate difficult transitions if needed. I have learned how to support children with diverse needs while maintaining a compassionate, professional approach. I’m confident that my experience and my commitment to creating a positive environment for children would make me a trustworthy and reliable caregiver. Parents can trust that I will approach the care of their children with the same level of dedication and care I have applied in my social work practice over the past two years. I bring this same dedication, patience, and expertise to every situation I encounter with children. I understand that children need a structured, nurturing environment to thrive one where their emotional and developmental needs are prioritized, and where they feel safe to express themselves. This ability to provide consistent care, coupled with my skills in conflict resolution, communication, and empathy, makes me uniquely qualified to take care of parents' children. Lastly, being in charge of children’s wellbeing had deeply impacted my personal growth as I consider with job to be a very humbling and rewarding one at the same time. I would love to continue making little faces to be happy and well taken care of.

From a young age, I have been assisting and helping raise children. Where it all started was when I lived with cousins in New York my newly married older cousin needed help raising her newborn. I was so young that my form of payment was bread and popcorn. I helped watch her until she was 3! Years later my sister got pregnant at 19 and my mom had two later-in-life pregnancies I have experience taking care of multiple children at a time. The oldest is 7 & autistic, the other is 5, and lastly, the youngest is 2! It's a challenge but I get it done no matter what whether it's keeping them safe, changing diapers, giving, baths, preparing meals, or fun activities for them to do. I love children and being a caregiver for them. Experience out of the home I've done is babysitting PTA kids while their parents were in meetings, friends of the family/neighbors and I've worked at Chuckie Cheese in Paramus for some time at the kidcheck station so I made sure EVERY child went home safely with the adult they entered with.
