Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child

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

Tracy $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello. My name is Tracy, and I specialize in comprehensive after-school care. Located in northern NJ, I am seeking a long-term position (10-15 hours a week) to support a family throughout the school year and summer months. I’ve spent years being the "go-to" person for busy parents, managing the delicate balance of homework, tutoring, and getting kids to their various sports and activities on time. I believe in maintaining an organized environment and am happy to help with light household tidying to keep things running smoothly. I’m excited to bring my experience to a new family soon! I am happy to share my many references once we determine my suitability for your family.

Iman $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Booked by 29 families in Totowa, 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 I was 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!”
