Booked by 7 families in Essex Fells, NJ

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.

Aissatou West Orange
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Aissatou. I am currently an MBA student with 10+ years of experience caregiving for children, pets and the elderly. I am a compassionate, caring and reliable person who can cook, clean, and run errands. My love for caregiving began when I would babysit my neighbor’s children at 17 years old while their single mom would work late shifts. The look of joy that she would give me when she returned to a clean home and children that were cared for was extremely rewarding and gave me a sense of pride. During my summer breaks in college, I would help take care of my elderly neighbor when her primary caregiver was away. I would cook, clean, do her laundry and help administer her medication. The admiration I had for her was so strong that when she was moved to a nursing home, I became a volunteer there. The incredible stories and lessons I learned from the wonderful residents are priceless. I look forward to providing the best care possible!

Booked by 29 families in Essex Fells, NJ

I’m Nikol, a fun, energetic, organized and well certified person who loves both learning and teaching alike! I am CPR, AED & First Aid certified, licensed since she 16 with a clean driving record, am able to swim and have a Bachelor’s degree. I have nannied and babysat children between the ages of newborns to teens for the last 14 years. I love to help out in any way that I can and that includes babysitting. I was a full time nanny up until a few years ago and as of recently, I am doing part time sitting/vacation nannying in addition to my full time job as a flight attendant. I also currently help care for my 4 year old niece & 1 year old nephew on various days. I give my all to the children and families that I connect with and look forward to meeting new kiddos and sharing my fun stories, mediocre singing, crazy dancing and plenty of love with them! I am able to cook quick meals, do simple cleaning tasks, do laundry and run simple errands. If you have any questions regarding my profile, please don't hesitate to send a message my way! I would love to get to know your kiddos :) Thanks for your consideration! POLICIES: **Minimum Hours: I have a minimum 4 hour policy which means that I must be booked for at least 4 hours. If you'd like to book me for less, that is fine as long as I am still being paid for the full 4 hours. --------- I require full payment for the time I am booked regardless of when the parents come home. **Cancellation: If you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start time, I expect 50% of payment agreed upon. If you cancel within 24 hours, I expect to receive 100% of the payment. **Emergencies: I am CPR & first aid certified. In the case of an emergency that I feel I am not equipped to handle (ex: severe allergic reaction, fire, medical emergency, etc..) I follow the following plan: 1. Do what I can to ensure child(rens) safety. 2. Call 911. 3. Call Parents. **Interviews: Initially I prefer phone interviews. If it is a working interview, I charge at my minimum rate of per child.

We had such an amazing experience with Nikol, our vacation nanny! From the moment she met our two daughter, she was patient, kind, and engaging. She made us feel completely at ease, and it was clear our daughter felt safe and happy. She kept our toddler entertained with fun activities while also being attentive to her needs and routine. Our daughter was in such caring and capable hands. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention she gave our little girl and would recommend her to any family looking for trustworthy, nurturing childcare. She truly made our vacation even more special!
