Meet Fama

  • Speaks English and French
  • Comfortable with pets

Hi, my name is Fama , and I absolutely love being a sitter! It's such a rewarding experience to make a positive impact on children's lives. I truly value the trust parents place in me to care for their little ones, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child I work with. I have experience working with children from newborns to 11 years old. Growing up, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with kids, and back in Senegal, I cared for a newborn baby, twins, and an older girl, helping her with schoolwork. These experiences taught me how to handle different age groups and their unique needs. I speak English and French I also volunteered at United Project, a non-profit organization, where I helped organize youth development activities and events. This role highlighted the importance of mentorship and community in shaping young minds. Alongside Read more my childcare experience, I’m currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Finance part-time, which has sharpened my time management skills. I’m comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, preparing meals and snacks, and managing bedtime routines. I consider myself a positive, calm, patient, and independent person who easily connects with both kids and their parents. My strong communication skills help ensure that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Plus, I have a flexible schedule, making me available for both regular and last-minute babysitting. I’m available all days on weekends, part-time on weekdays , and for occasional date nights. I would love to contribute to your family’s well-being. I’m excited to have fun with your kids and support you in balancing household and personal responsibilities! Feel free to reach out to me at +1 (973) 342-8362

Fama was able to care for and engage with our son. She made sure he was attended to and having fun the whole time she watched him. She was responsive to our messages, and she was able to fill the role on short notice. We highly recommend her.

Fama was always on-time, enthusiastic, and sweet with the baby. We felt very comfortable leaving our son with her, and would definitely use this service again
