Csilla $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a mom to 2 teenaged boys and have 20+ years teaching experience, mostly at the secondary level. I have significant experience working with children with a variety of special needs and allergy protocols. I am an advocate of limited screen time for children and am happy to read, play board games, and spend time outdoors with them. I have always had a dog and am very comfortable with pets. I am looking for occasional work on weekends and during school breaks.

Tara $50 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced early childhood educator with 5 years of teaching experience in early preschool and preschool classrooms. I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning

Booked by 5 families in Piscataway, NJ

Hi there! My name is Shaniyah, and I've been caring for and teaching kids for over 10 years. I've worked as a nanny, teacher, and childcare provider, and I truly love what I do. I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree, and I'm currently pursuing my second master's because I believe in always learning and growing. I recently graduated from Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts and the New York Film Academy's Acting for Film program. I'm also a proud U. S. Army veteran, which has taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to handle any situation with calm confidence. Families describe me as warm, creative, and trustworthy. I bring patience, positivity, and structure to every home I work in, and I love creating fun, enriching experiences that help kids learn and grow. Working with children has always been one of my greatest joys, and I'd be honored to support your family however I can.

Anbriel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

"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!"
