Hi my name is Charity but I go by Ms Harmony. I have over 20 years of experience working with young children. I was an infant and toddler preschool teacher for 15 years and a professional Super Nanny for 10years. I majored in Early Childhood Education and Child Development and became a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Peer Breastfeeding Support Counselor and a Professionally Certified Parenting Coach. Caring for young children and supporting parents is my passion and it brings so much joy into my life. I have a very special gift for comforting and connecting with newborns, infants and toddlers. I am very patient and can handle a crying, frustrated or difficult baby with the ability to respond to their needs in an affectionate and nurturing way. Keeping children safe is so important to me that I became a certified instructor through the American Red Cross to use and teach Adult, Child and Infant CPR/AED and First Aid to new parents and caregivers. Please feel free to contact me if you think we would be a good match. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm Regards, Ms Harmony

Charity was very professional and kind.

I’m a 45 year old woman in the process of creating a family of my own. I’ve nannied for high profile families in New York and have been around children all my life. Caring for lots of kids has been a supplement to my professional experience as an educator and actor. I’m fun and skilled and I’d love to help your family out! Warm regards, Stacey Rae

Stacey was very kind and patient with our daughter. She spent a lot of time talking to her and playing with her. Highly recommend!

Booked by 1 family in West Long Branch, 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.

Hi! I’m a mom of a loving almost 3-year-old toddler with plenty of hands-on experience caring for young children. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a nurturing environment. I’m looking for a position where I can provide reliable, caring support for your little ones—just as I do for my own.
