Meet college nannies and sitters from Rutgers University

Hello!!! My name is Deanna and I have been a Colorado resident for 10 years; I have been watching children for 20+ years! **I am the current nanny in a share so am only looking for occasional or evening gigs, thank you** I am comfortable with children as young as newborns and as old as teenagers. I have assisted in raising at least a dozen babies to toddlers and beyond. I am comfortable with one or two children up to a whole classroom of children. I have worked in individual family's homes, after-school programs, pre-schools, been an au pair internationally and have watched many children at birthday parties and on family vacations. When it comes to child care, there is almost nothing that can surprise me or that I haven’t seen or experienced before. I am caring, compassionate, consistent, dependable and fun. I grew up in a family where both parents worked full-time and therefore, I like to be a good role model for children because the sitters I had in my childhood were huge influences on me and I would like to be the same positive influence. I believe in consistency, teaching independence that fosters growth and new ideas, and learning through play. I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and adventure and of arts and crafts. I recognize that children are the future and believe it’s important to teach them valuable skills such as manners, empathy and kindness to carry with them throughout life. I look forward to learning more about you and your family :)

Hi there! My name is Shaniyah, and I've been caring for and teaching kids for over 10 years. I've worked as a nanny, teacher, and childcare provider, and I truly love what I do. I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree, and I'm currently pursuing my second master's because I believe in always learning and growing. I recently graduated from Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts and the New York Film Academy's Acting for Film program. I'm also a proud U. S. Army veteran, which has taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to handle any situation with calm confidence. Families describe me as warm, creative, and trustworthy. I bring patience, positivity, and structure to every home I work in, and I love creating fun, enriching experiences that help kids learn and grow. Working with children has always been one of my greatest joys, and I'd be honored to support your family however I can.

Being a career nanny for the past 25 years is an impressive accomplishment. It means I have dedicated a significant portion of my life to providing exceptional care and support to children. Y My CPR certification is a crucial asset, as it demonstrates my commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of the children under my care. Having experience in both Montessori and RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) approaches further enhances to my qualifications. Montessori emphasizes independence, hands-on learning, and respect for a child's individual development, while RIE focuses on building trust, respectful communication, and fostering a nurturing environment. My knowledge of these methodologies allows me to tailor my caregiving approach based on each child's unique needs and preferences. The fact that I have enjoyed being a nanny for such an extended period speaks volumes about my passion for this profession. Providing consistent care, nurturing relationships, and being a positive influence in children's lives require patience, empathy, and a genuine love for what I do. My years of experience undoubtedly makes me a trusted and valued caregiver in the eyes of the families I’ve worked with.

Hi!! My name is Amy, and I’m a 25-year-old Rutgers University graduate with a strong background in childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve always enjoyed caring for others and creating warm, structured environments where kids can thrive and feel safe — and where families can count on dependable, thoughtful help. From 2018 to 2021, I worked as a nanny for children between the ages of 4 and 7. During that time, I helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, planned and led creative and stimulating activities (from arts and crafts to outdoor play), and regularly took the kids to the park or after-school activities. I always made sure our days were fun, organized, and filled with learning moments. In addition to childcare, I’ve been a trusted dog sitter for several families in Princeton, NJ, where I grew up. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping pets company while families are away, I love being around animals and understand how important it is to care for them with attention and love. I’m fluent in Spanish, which comes in handy in bilingual households or when introducing kids to a new language in fun ways. I'm also an excellent communicator and believe in being honest, patient, and responsive — qualities that I think are essential when working in someone’s home and building trust with their loved ones. Currently, I work as a visual merchandiser at Lululemon in Princeton. I enjoy the creativity and problem-solving that comes with the job, but I’m now looking to work closer to home and connect with new families in Hoboken or nearby areas. Ideally, I’m hoping to find a full-time role that fits my schedule. I take pride in being dependable, organized, and easy to work with — someone who kids feel comfortable around, and parents can rely on.
