Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child
I am an animal advocate and love them dearly. I am a special education teacher. I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store. I will treat your babies as I treat mine with love and care. I treat my animals as if they were my children. If you would like to schedule a meeting please contact me.[removed]. Please ask me any questions. I am also fingers printed. Thank you for reading my bio, Michelle

I'm a full-time student attending Montclair State University. I am very responsible with kids of all ages, as I am the oldest of my seven siblings. They range from 1 year to 10 years old.

Rosmy $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Rosmy, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have experience working with both children on the autism spectrum and neurotypical children, so I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, responsible, and energetic, and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or keeping a consistent routine, I always make sure children feel cared for and supported. Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and committed to their child’s well-being while making sure they have a great time. I look forward to getting to know your family!
