Rime $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reem, and I am an experienced childcare provider with a background in nursing and education. I come from a big family and have always been around children, including helping care for my siblings’ children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and have experience working as a School Nurse in Morocco and as a Teaching Assistant in the UK, supporting children of different ages. I am patient, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I can help with playtime, educational activities, reading, homework support, meal preparation, daily routines, and providing attentive care. I am currently preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam, the licensing exam required to become a registered nurse in the United States, and I am looking for a part-time babysitting or nanny position caring for one or two children in Bayonne, Jersey City, Newport, Hoboken, or nearby areas accessible by public transportation. I speak three languages: English, French, and Arabic. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, caring childcare.

Tameah $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fair Haven, NJ

As a dedicated nanny, my primary goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I am actively working with 2 babies but I have several years of experience working with many age groups, which has equipped me with the skills to handle their diverse needs, from infants to older children. I am comfortable working in homes with pets. My commitment extends beyond basic childcare; I am eager to assist with household tasks and be a helpful part of the family. I pride myself on preparing healthy meals, organizing fun and educational activities, and assisting with homework to support their development. Safety is my top priority, and I hold CPR and First Aid certifications to ensure I can respond effectively in emergencies. I thrive on building strong relationships with both the children and their families, fostering creativity, and encouraging a love for learning.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
