Hello, I'm Eman. I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience, having helped raise several children in my family from infancy through adolescence. The youngest is 7, and the oldest will be graduating college in the next few years (I still can't believe it!). Being closely involved in their lives has given me a strong, intuitive understanding of children at every stage. I also have some professional childcare experience from my time at KinderCare, but I thrive most in one-on-one or small-family settings where I can give children my full attention. I’m patient, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids—especially toddlers. I’m comfortable with diapers, bottle feeding, and nap routines (may need a short adjustment period if caring for infants). Homework help, reading, and bedtime routines are truly my jam. I enjoy preparing meals or snacks for children and don’t mind tidying toys or children’s spaces, but I focus strictly on childcare and not general household help. I’m fluent in multiple languages and am happy to help with language exposure if parents are interested. I respect family routines, boundaries, and parenting styles, and value clear, open communication. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and available for date nights or occasional care during off-hours. I also have experience providing companionship for seniors through listening and quality time. I’m comfortable working in homes with calm, small pets after meeting them, but not large or high-energy animals. Caring for children is more than a job to me—it’s a calling, and I approach every family with responsibility, heart, and genuine care. A little bit about me personally, I studied fashion design and am a dress maker by trade. I love arts and crafts since I was a toddler and am happy to share some of my crafting activities with kids or even parents. I'm trying to be more fit and active and am into indoor rock climbing and orange theory. If anyone has recommendations for good OT coaches, I'm all ears :). Hosting is second nature to me and my family, so recently I started a luxury picnic and party decorating business, which thankfully has been going well. Right now it's the off season so I'm looking to fill the gap with some nannying roles.

“I am absolutely honored to recommend Jayashree as a caregiver. She has been my personal care provider, and from day one, she brought a level of warmth, professionalism, and genuine compassion that is truly rare to find. What sets Jayashree apart is her extraordinary background — over 20 years as a paraprofessional educator. That experience means she doesn't just care for the people in her charge; she understands them. She is attuned to individual needs, communicates with patience and clarity, and adapts effortlessly to whatever a situation requires. Whether it's a child who needs gentle encouragement, a senior who needs steady support, or a family who simply needs someone they can trust — Jayashree shows up fully, every single time. She is reliable, punctual, and deeply professional. I never have to wonder if she'll follow through — she always does, and then some. Her calm, positive energy puts everyone at ease, and her nurturing nature makes those in her care feel seen, safe, and genuinely valued. Beyond personal care, Jayashree is also resourceful and helpful around the household — managing daily tasks, meal preparation, and scheduling with quiet efficiency so that families can focus on what matters most. If you are looking for a caregiver who combines the heart of a dedicated teacher with the skill of a seasoned professional, Jayashree is the one. Your family will be in the very best hands. Recommended without hesitation — she is a true blessing.”
Hello, My name is Vanessa, and I am a high school teacher. I taught language arts for 20 years and am currently in the discipline department at a high school. I have experience with children and pets, and I speak fluent Spanish and English. I have helped take care of my grandmother, so I can assist in taking care of an elderly person. I am organized, disciplined, and caring. I also have two dogs and a bird, so I am experienced in caring for animals.
I am an animal advocate and love them dearly. I am a special education teacher. I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store. I will treat your babies as I treat mine with love and care. I treat my animals as if they were my children. If you would like to schedule a meeting please contact me.[removed]. Please ask me any questions. I am also fingers printed. Thank you for reading my bio, Michelle
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.
