I recently moved to Highland Park and will be starting my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at Rutgers (New Brunswick) this September. At the moment, I am only looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Before moving to NJ this summer, I lived in New York City for five years while completing my master’s degree at Columbia University and working in the field of youth mental health. My education in Clinical Psychology, along with my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Child Development from UC Davis, has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and children’s needs. I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages in a variety of settings. I’ve had numerous part-time nanny and babysitting jobs with children ranging from newborns to 15 years old. I also worked as a camp counselor for many years and as a math and reading tutor. I’m happy to help with homework, tutoring, and even college applications. I am reliable, extremely empathetic, kind, and funny, and I easily connect with kids to create a fun and safe environment. Lastly, I am a big animal lover and am open to pet sitting jobs as well!

“Wonderful, responsible, and kind. Hope we can work with her again. ”

Hi families, I’m Nosi pronounced Nosee. I am an extremely happy and loving individual who is passionate about helping others. With over 7 years of experience, I have worked as both an Au Pair and a full- time nanny, providing exceptional care to children ranging from 4 weeks to 14 years old. As a vaccinated nanny, I am committed to ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I truly enjoy working with children, supporting their growth.I love engaging in activities such as outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, baking, and reading, always striving to make each day memorable and enjoyable for the kids I care for. Having had the privilege of becoming a part of many families' lives, childcare is truly one of my greatest passions. Outside of work I enjoy reading, yoga, exploring new dining spots, sightseeing, and visiting places with waterfalls and beaches.

“Nosipho was on time, warm, and immediately connected with my kid by getting down to his level. Very easy-going and my son was very comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend!”

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.
