Meng $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Hackensack, NJ

Hello! My name is Meng. I am an international student and have been living in New York for five years. I’m an energetic, cheerful person, and kids usually enjoy spending time with me. While I don’t have formal childcare experience, I’ve always gotten along very well with children and love interacting with them. In addition to that, I have three dogs and one cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I also enjoy cooking and have five years of experience preparing meals from different cuisines. I’m a careful and detail-oriented person, and I believe these qualities make me well-suited for childcare, pet care, and other caregiving tasks. I look forward to meeting your family!

Sierra $21 per hour for 1 child

I have over 8 years of childcare experience across a variety of settings, including nannying, coaching, and working in children’s programming. Most recently, I worked as a Kids Club Attendant at the Four Seasons Orlando, where I design and lead engaging activities and games in a high-energy, luxury environment. I also spent three years working in retail at Walt Disney World, where I focused on creating memorable, engaging experiences for families and children. This strengthened my ability to connect quickly with kids and bring energy and positivity into every interaction. In addition, I have extensive coaching experience with both the Savannah Sharks and Upper Merion Allstars, where I led practices and taught tumbling classes. I also coached a cheer team for children with differing abilities, which was one of the most meaningful parts of my experience. It taught me how to adapt to individual needs, build confidence, and create an inclusive, supportive environment for every child.

Emma $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma and I would love to be a caregiver to your wonderful kiddos! I’m a creative and imaginative personality with the inclination for caring for children. I grew up a dancer and pursuing that professionally now in the city, with the dream of being in the Ensemble of a Broadway show! I love that I can share this art and my profession with children, even teach them a few moves. I have 4+ years babysitting as well as dog sitting and I care dearly for the elderly. I’m open to several different scenarios including school pick up/drop off, after school tutoring, evening date night babysitting and so much more! I hope that I can be a part of the integral part of your children’s lives and make an impact in one way or another!
