Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with nearly five years of experience supporting children and families. I have worked as a Teacher Assistant in a daycare with children ages 18 months to 5 years, helping with daily routines, learning activities, behavior guidance, meals, and creating a safe, fun environment. As the oldest of four siblings, I also helped care for my younger brothers and sister from the time they were born. My youngest sibling is now 8 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children and families through New Jersey’s child welfare system, where I supported parents, monitored child safety, and connected families with resources. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have completed my Master’s in Social Work, along with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) training. I believe in positive reinforcement, kindness, and building trusting relationships with every child. I’m happy to assist with homework, playtime, light meal preparation, bedtime routines, transportation, light housekeeping, and pet care. Families can count on me to be responsible, organized, compassionate, and dedicated to providing safe, nurturing, and reliable care.

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.
