Hi! My name is Eliana and I am a lover of children and pets. I work from home full time and looking to help out where needed whether it’s taking care of your dog while you’re away or picking up your kiddo from school!

Eliana was very patient and sweet with Soka, she took great care of her and she also took great care of my house. Great communication and very respectful.

$20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a full-time student attending Montclair State University. I am very responsible with kids of all ages, as I am the oldest of my seven siblings. They range from 1 year to 10 years old. I was also a foster kid, so I've taken care of many of my foster siblings as well. I am looking for work during the breaks (summer, winter, and spring) and am also available to work weekends.

Kenya Maplewood
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kenya, but I prefer to be called Ken. I am a graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ, and a proud alumna of the Special Dance Company. I am currently pursuing my education at Union County College in Cranford, majoring in Health Science, with the goal of entering the medical field—specifically pediatrics. I am a very family-oriented person, and spending quality time with loved ones has always been a priority for me. The joy and connection I’ve experienced with family and friends inspired my passion for childcare. I have 3–5 years of childcare experience, and I understand that caring for children requires patience, multitasking, and attention to detail. My priority as a babysitter is to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I strive to support their development through engaging activities and positive guidance. To ensure safety and well-being, I focus on: - Maintaining clear communication with both children and parents. - Keeping a clean and healthy environment to prevent the spread of germs. - Planning both indoor and outdoor activities that promote learning and creativity. - Following consistent daily schedules, including nap times. - Encouraging a warm, supportive atmosphere where children feel valued. Childhood is such an important stage of life, and I am committed to making it both safe and memorable for the children in my care. Thank you!

Booked by 1 family in Roseland, NJ

I’m a 20 year old college student looking mainly for weekend work/ part time to help pay for school. I don’t have much paid experience but I have lots of personal experience. When I was younger my mom was a nanny and I was always her little assistant helping out with the kids she looked after ranging from ages 1-8. I also have a niece that I look after every now and then who just turned 4. Lastly throughout the week I work as a pediatric dental assistant so caring for kids comes naturally! If you have pets I have experience on caring for reptiles, cats and dogs. Cpr/ first aid/BLS certified: ✅ Meals and light housekeeping: ✅ Own transportation:✅

Chrystal Newark
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Chrystal, and I offer child care services. I have about 3 years of experience working with children with autism and various backgrounds in the classroom setting. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and aim to create a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy photography and engaging in creative activities such as arts and crafts, games, etc. I also drive and am happy to help with school pickups and activities as needed. Please note that I’m allergic to cats and have a fear of large dogs, so I prefer pet-free homes or those where pets are secured.
