Find an after school nanny in West Orange, NJ

I am a dedicated and compassionate education professional with experience working with children and students with disabilities. My educational background includes studying Psychology at Felician University, where I developed a strong interest in child development, behavior, and supporting individuals with different learning needs. I am continuing to pursue my goal of completing my education and becoming a certified Special Education teacher, with a particular interest in working with neurodivergent children. Since August 2022, I have worked as a Teacher Assistant with the Plainfield Public School District in New Jersey. In this role, I provide academic, behavioral, and emotional support to students with diverse needs. I work closely with teachers and other school professionals to help students participate in classroom activities, follow routines, develop independence, and feel safe and supported in their learning environment. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with students who require additional patience, structure, communication, and individualized support. My passion for working with children with special needs is also deeply personal. I am a parent of children with special needs, and my own experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges, strengths, and unique needs that children and their families may experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, compassion, advocacy, and the importance of celebrating every child's individual progress. It is one of the reasons I chose to dedicate my career to working with children who need additional support. I consider myself a loving and caring caregiver because I genuinely care about the well-being of every child I work with. I understand that children need more than supervision—they need patience, encouragement, understanding, consistency, and someone who will advocate for them. I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, accepted, and valued. I treat the children in my care with the same compassion and patience that I would want someone to show my own children. My personal and professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to education and caregiving. I want to continue growing professionally and eventually become a Special Education teacher who can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.

I've been working with kids for seven years and am currently Nanny, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience. I love helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I'm patient, creative, and responsible, with experience caring for kids of all ages. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while keeping things fun. I also make sure to keep parents updated in whatever way works best for them. I have a car, I'm good with pets, and I speak both English and Portuguese. I'd love to get to know your family!

I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over four years of professional childcare experience. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, nurturing, and dependable. I truly enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged, and I understand the importance of adjusting to each child’s unique personality, needs, and developmental stage. With babies, I am attentive and gentle, focusing on their routines, comfort, and milestones. With toddlers and older children, I encourage creativity, independence, and positive behavior through fun, structured activities. Patience is one of my strongest qualities. I believe children respond best when they feel heard and understood, and I take the time to guide them calmly through challenges, big feelings, or transitions. My nurturing nature allows me to connect with children on their level while still providing structure and consistency. My goal is to join a family where I can provide consistent, long-term care while giving parents peace of mind and children the nurturing environment they need to thrive. I’m flexible with scheduling, open to evenings and overnights, and excited to bring my dedication and warmth to a new family full-time.

My name is Niki and I’m from Poland. I’m a babysitter with over 10 years of experience. Currently I live in New Jersey which I love. I’ve been working with kids of all ages but I have the most experience with infants and toddlers. I completed 3,5 years as an Au Pair in America. I absolutely love working with kids and it feels natural to me. I speak Polish, English, Serbian, Croatian and learning Spanish and Italian! I love languages and geography and would love to teach your kids something about the world. I like to call myself a traveler, because I’ve been traveling my whole life and it’s my biggest passion. As a live in nanny I’ve been taking care of 5 kids (with three different families) of ages: 3 months, 7 months, 1 yo, 2yo and 3yo - all in America. In my home country I cared for multiple kids aged 1-10 years old. I am a very pro-active and responsible person who you can trust with your kids. I know how to care for them, bathe, change diapers, put down for naps, prepare food, play and all the things you need.

Hi Families! I'm a 22 year old student from Bergen Community College hoping to help take some responsibility off your days. I currently work as a teacher assistant for toddlers ages 2-3 year olds but also help out with Pre-K students, and have elementary aged younger siblings I care for! I am also Child and Baby CPR/ First Aid/ and AED Certified. I also have my own car to provide easy transportation and am located in Secaucus. My goal is to help in the best way I can; I find learning a huge part of growth and love caregiving because I am able to impact a child and their family for the greater good and make memories along the way. I'm lovable, interactive, and work my best to make sure every day is a good day. Hope to hear from you soon :)
