Booked by 1 family in Harrison, NJ

My name is Brian, and I have a lifelong love for animals—especially dogs. I’ve always believed that great caregiving comes from patience, empathy, and genuine passion for helping others, whether they walk on two legs or four. Experience with Animals: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older companions who need a gentler touch. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walking routines, grooming, administering medication, and giving plenty of playtime and affection. I also have experience with cats, small animals, and even a few birds.

Hi parents! I have experience teaching, tutoring, and nannying ages 1-14. I have a degree in Psychology focused on developmental and educational coursework from Northeastern University. I volunteered to teach in high school classrooms and tutor ages 9-14 throughout college and then taught in an after school program for ages 11-12.

Most recently, I have worked for a family nannying for an 8 and 11 year old after school. I am a writer and artist and can bring fun, creative projects to your child's life.

Meeka $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Harrison, NJ

Hi, I’m Meeka! I just moved to new york and I’m currently in college and will be graduating this December with a degree in Finance. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and for the past 4 years I’ve gained nannying experience with children from infancy through age 12. I’ve also handled a few overnight stays, so I’m comfortable with longer care when needed. I love building fun, safe, and nurturing environments for kids, and I’m patient and adaptable to each child’s needs. Alongside childcare, I’m also great with pets—I have two dogs of my own and absolutely love cats, so furry family members are always a bonus for me! I look forward to supporting families with reliable care, whether it’s for a few hours or something more regular.

Charlet $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Charlet! I’m originally from Portland and now a student at Fordham University here in NYC. I’ve spent the last five years caring for children from infants to age 16 through babysitting as well as some full-time nannying. Caring for kids comes naturally to me, I love to help create a warm, clean, calm, and fun environment where young people feel safe, encouraged, and excited to explore. I’m confident with daily routines, including cleaning, meals, naps, school pickups/dropoffs, bedtime, and playtime. I value clear, consistent communication with parents and always strive to support whatever rhythm works best for your family. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and truly enjoy forming long-lasting, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’d be happy to provide references, and I’d love to connect with you and your family.
