Hi! My name is Diana, I’m 24 years old, and I’m bilingual. I currently work full-time as a Program Director for adults with disabilities, which has given me years of experience providing care, support, patience, and understanding to individuals with different needs. I have 2 years of experience caring for children and babies, including toddlers and children with disabilities. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, bedtime, or simply being an extra set of helping hands for busy parents, I always strive to provide the best care possible. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, trusting relationship with both you and your children!

Hello. My name is Tracy, and I specialize in comprehensive after-school care. Located in northern NJ, I am seeking a long-term position (10-15 hours a week) to support a family throughout the school year and summer months. I’ve spent years being the "go-to" person for busy parents, managing the delicate balance of homework, tutoring, and getting kids to their various sports and activities on time. I believe in maintaining an organized environment and am happy to help with light household tidying to keep things running smoothly. I’m excited to bring my experience to a new family soon! I am happy to share my many references once we determine my suitability for your family.
Hello, I'm Eman. I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience, having helped raise several children in my family from infancy through adolescence. The youngest is 7, and the oldest will be graduating college in the next few years (I still can't believe it!). Being closely involved in their lives has given me a strong, intuitive understanding of children at every stage. I also have some professional childcare experience from my time at KinderCare, but I thrive most in one-on-one or small-family settings where I can give children my full attention. I’m patient, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids—especially toddlers. I’m comfortable with diapers, bottle feeding, and nap routines (may need a short adjustment period if caring for infants). Homework help, reading, and bedtime routines are truly my jam. I enjoy preparing meals or snacks for children and don’t mind tidying toys or children’s spaces, but I focus strictly on childcare and not general household help. I’m fluent in multiple languages and am happy to help with language exposure if parents are interested. I respect family routines, boundaries, and parenting styles, and value clear, open communication. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and available for date nights or occasional care during off-hours. I also have experience providing companionship for seniors through listening and quality time. I’m comfortable working in homes with calm, small pets after meeting them, but not large or high-energy animals. Caring for children is more than a job to me—it’s a calling, and I approach every family with responsibility, heart, and genuine care. A little bit about me personally, I studied fashion design and am a dress maker by trade. I love arts and crafts since I was a toddler and am happy to share some of my crafting activities with kids or even parents. I'm trying to be more fit and active and am into indoor rock climbing and orange theory. If anyone has recommendations for good OT coaches, I'm all ears :). Hosting is second nature to me and my family, so recently I started a luxury picnic and party decorating business, which thankfully has been going well. Right now it's the off season so I'm looking to fill the gap with some nannying roles.
Hi families! 😊 My name is Zulay, I’m 21 years old and I’m currently working as a nanny. I have experience taking care of children of different ages, and I truly enjoy spending time with them in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m responsible, patient, and creative. I love planning activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and helping with homework. I also speak Spanish (native) and English, so I can support bilingual learning if needed. I’m comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, preparing simple meals, and following family routines. My goal is always to make children feel happy, safe, and supported. I’m available on weekends and some evenings. I would love to help your family! Feel free to message me 😊
