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.

Jennifer Roselle Park
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I’m Jennifer — part-time nursing student, full-time fun-bringer, and your go-to babysitter with 5+ years of experience wrangling giggles, snacks, and sibling squabbles like a pro. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, but I especially love hanging out with those 6 and up! Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Helping kids learn, grow, and have fun is what got me started and what keeps me going. I’m calm, patient, creative, and known for being the “cool babysitter” (okay, maybe I said that—but still!). I’m happy looking after up to three kiddos at once, and I love activities that keep us all moving and thinking—like outdoor games, puzzles, board games, and crafts. I always stick to the rules you set, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates however you prefer. Bottom line: I want to be someone you can trust and your kids are excited to see walk through the door. Let’s make babysitting awesome together!
