Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

I have tons of experience working with children, especially those in the five and under range. I have previously worked as a camp counselor for preschool aged children, in which I was the lead counselor responsible for fifteen four year old children. I also used to be a swim coach, teaching assistant, and still babysit and teach swim lessons today. All of these jobs have given me a multitude of different experiences with kids and have taught me how to best work with them depending on the situation.

Amanda $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated educator and parent with 17 years of Elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Over nearly two decades, I have guided children of all ages through their academic, social, and emotional development. My background in school counseling equips me with a deeply empathetic, patient approach, allowing me to connect with children on their level, foster emotional resilience, and tailor activities to their unique learning styles. As a parent of two children of my own, I bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting instincts to every family I support. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand off your little ones, as well as the importance of maintaining a safe, calm, and joyful household rhythm. Whether guiding homework, leading creative projects, or facilitating positive play, my goal is to create a warm environment where your child feels heard, confident, and engaged. I am also a big cat lover with three of my own, as well as a snake and hamster as pets! I look forward to partnering with your family!

Booked by 1 family in Newton, NJ

Hi- My name is Taisha and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter, as the oldest of my family I have been watching my siblings and cousins as well as newborns, infants and toddlers, since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included drop off and pick up/from school, crafts, tutoring, and teaching. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents I can cook, accompany them to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to dogs.

Taisha is reliable, punctual, and professional. I was worried that my dad would not be comfortable having someone other than myself help him during the day, but he had the best things to say.

Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for ten years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

Leann was wonderful and our 5 year old really enjoyed her. She was on time, friendly, and enjoyed the two dogs! We will definitely use her again.
