Find an after school nanny in Passaic, NJ

Hi families! I’m a sitter with many years of childcare experience and a background in behavioral therapy. I earned my degree from the University of San Francisco and spent two years working in behavioral therapy, supporting children with diverse needs. Originally from New York and raised in Los Angeles, I spent the past six years in Oregon before recently moving to New Jersey. I’m excited to connect with local families and offer reliable, compassionate care. I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I’m looking for part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities while I get settled in the area.

Hi ya’ll, I’m Meka! 🍁FALL 2026❗️ 🍂Parents/Guardians get ready to go 👣 out & enjoy yourselves! (I’ll even tag along to provide care for the children!) I’m available for 🛤outings, ⛲️date-night, 🏟events, work etc. I live in 🌆 Manhattan. It’s always important for you to have alone time/adult time/me-time. Being a Parent is hard work so giving yourself some time dedicated just for you, is important❗️ I adore working with children. I want to be that “safe space/person” that children can talk to & feel comfortable. So much trauma occurs at a young age & sometimes doesn’t show up until adulthood. I’m passionate about mental health. & I have experience with those that are with special needs. (Also helping assist family members on the spectrum). I work in the PCICU as a CNA 🏪 & I’m CPR certified. I do have a teen of my own. Don’t be alarmed🚨I look young in person! 💁🏾‍♀️🧬 but hey, the kiddies gravitate towards me since I look young! I’ll be with them on the playground obstacles and jungle gyms! I understand the anxiety of leaving your children with other people. That’s why I LOVE when there’s cameras 📷 in the home❗️IF anything were to happen, we can watch the tape 📼 together, no problem! 🙂 🚨Please state at the time of booking, if your child is sick. So I can choose whether or not I want to proceed with the job. I do want to protect my other families that I work with as well as myself & mine.🚨 If you cancel last minute, you agree to pay half of the total pay amount agreed. Another family could have booked me. I’ve had many last minute cancellations, and declined other families that I could have cared for. 👍🏾PLEASE leave a review after a job is done. It helps not only myself, but I’m sure you’d feel better reading feedback from other parents experience. Thanks so much❗️😊

I grew up in New York City with a younger brother in an arts driven, multicultural family. My passions are language, grounding in nature, traveling, epicurean adventures, cooking, wellness and the arts. Along with my work in childcare, I am a published fine artist working in photography. I believe kids can teach us a lot with their curiosity, wisdom and free spirits. I always learn something new about myself in the company of children and I’ve worked with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I find them totally inspiring for my own creative work. I am also a big believer in families and have been offering them support through nurture, protection and care for nearly two decades. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and ability to support families through Doula studies. I seek connection with compassionate and kind families who value the contribution of caregivers~ those who know the work of care is a beautiful act of service that upholds the wellbeing of our collective. *Please be honest in your post or when we speak whether you have a sick child. A sick child rate is available, discussed and agreed upon at hire.
