Hennesy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently an Occupational Therapy (OT) student with a passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I work in a school supporting children with special needs, which has given me valuable experience creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments while adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, dependable, and creative, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I love incorporating arts and crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate learning into the time we spend together. My background in OT has also strengthened my understanding of child development, sensory needs, and positive communication. Outside of work and school, I love art and animals, and I’m always happy to help with pet care if needed. I’m also comfortable assisting with light household tasks, such as tidying up after activities, preparing simple meals and snacks, and helping keep your home organized while caring for your children. My goal is to provide families with reliable, compassionate care while making sure children feel safe, supported, and have fun. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Booked by 1 family in Secaucus, NJ

I am Cornelia , an experienced nanny with great references! I have had the opportunity to care for kids from newborns to school age for the past 16 years, and it has been a pleasure. My skills has sharpened as the years went by, and it has taught me a lot about myself. I love caring for kids because it affords me the opportunity to help contribute towards our next generation, as the first three years of a child’s life is the most crucial phase developmentally.

Yelis $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yelis. I’m currently in Dental Hygiene school and I’m looking for a part-time babysitting position. I have experience caring for a newborn from the time she was born until she was a little over a year old, due to the family relocating. I’ve also had experience working with toddlers. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love keeping them engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, playing, and age-appropriate activities. I am also CPR certified. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, and caring. I’m happy to help with light household chores, errands, and anything else that makes life a little easier for the family!

ilvana $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a loving and responsible mom of two — I have an 11-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter. Over the years, I’ve cared for several children on weekends, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. Families often tell me that even the most energetic or difficult children feel calm and comfortable with me. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, or keeping children engaged in positive activities. Caring for kids is something that comes naturally to me, and I treat every child with the same love and patience as I do my own.
