Booked by 3 families in Fort Lee, NJ

Hi! I’m Marley — a junior at NYU studying Early Childhood and Special Education. I have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school, with a background in both educational and recreational settings. This past summer, I worked as a nanny caring for a 15-month-old in the mornings and two boys (ages 4 and 5) in the afternoons. I planned engaging daily activities, incorporated vocabulary and reading enrichment, and organized outings to support social, cognitive, and physical development. I also safely transported the children to and from activities. Previously, I worked as a substitute teacher at the Burlington YMCA, supporting classrooms for children ages 8 weeks to 5 years, and as a camp counselor at an all-outdoor adventure camp, encouraging kids to explore, try new things, and build confidence. I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I bring energy, patience, and creativity to every day, tailoring activities to each child’s needs and interests.

I have known Marley for many years as neighbors and for occasional babysitting. We ended up hiring Marley to babysit our one year old for half days this past summer and she was absolutely amazing with my son. Marley was prompt, professional and always exploring new ways to help him engage and learn with the world around him. Marley was great about taking my son to the library, playground and doing other age appropriate activities, even when it was too hot to go outside. Marley used her early education curriculum to suggest toys and activities. My son's language and development flourished under Marley's care and we hope to have her help us again in the future! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.

Sherkira $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Sherkira. I’m 21 years old, and I truly love working with children. I currently work at a private childcare center, where I’ve been for 3 years. During that time, I’ve cared for children ranging from 3 months to 4 years old. I grew up with many siblings and often took on the responsibility of helping care for them, so childcare has always come naturally to me. There’s nothing I’m more passionate about than watching children learn, grow, and discover new things. I’m CPR certified, and I take pride in keeping a clean and tidy environment—especially after a fun, messy activity! My schedule is Monday through Friday, starting at 7:30 PM and ending whenever I’m needed.
