Hi,
My name is Aimee and I was born and raised in North Jersey.
As a creative, I am a huge advocate for self expression and being yourself. And spending time with children reminds me the importance of that.
I've been working with kids for over ten years and as the oldest of five, caring for children and being attentive to their needs is first nature to me.
I have experience nannying & babysitting the kids of my neighbors, aunts, uncles etc. Also, I've worked as a Substitute nanny, date-night nanny and as a teacher's assistant in daycare centers/preschools.
My favorite part of nannying is when I see a child grow more confident in themselves and their abilities. There's something about seeing a child do something that they thought they couldn't do, it warms my heart :)
With your child, I plan to teach them, care for them, go on plenty of walks with them (parks are epic), visit the library, a museum, have a dance party or two and just support their development and individuality.
That was a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you!
All the best,
Aimee A.

Shekezi1 review $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Kezi, and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around children. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I would treat every child with kindness, attention, and respect. I offer attentive childcare, including supervising children, helping with feeding and mealtimes, diaper changes, maintaining routines, engaging children in fun activities, and keeping their spaces tidy. I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in caring and dependable hands. I enjoy helping children learn, explore, and have fun through age-appropriate activities. This can include reading books, singing songs, playing games, doing arts and crafts, taking walks, and encouraging creativity and development.

Karthy $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m a college student with years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been babysitting for family and family friends since I was 9, and caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, responsible, and very engaging. I love doing crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and helping with homework.
I’m comfortable with bedtime routines, preparing simple meals, and keeping the home tidy after activities. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment so parents can feel completely at ease while they’re away.
I’m especially great with toddlers and elementary-aged kids and I’m happy to care for multiple children at once. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and date nights in NYC and North Jersey, and I respond quickly to messages here.
