Marianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I have worked in childcare for the last 3 years. Throughout my experience I have learned to supervise children effectively to foster a safe and nurturing atmosphere while promoting developmental growth. Supported parents with guidance and resources to enhance their parenting skills and strengthen family dynamics. As a lifelong animal lover and responsible caregiver, I offer dependable, loving, and personalized pet sitting services. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or just a walk and some playtime, I treat every pet like my own with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats with all kinds of personalities. I understand how important it is to maintain routines.

Tequyra $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Rosmy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rosmy, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have experience working with both children on the autism spectrum and neurotypical children, so I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, responsible, and energetic, and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or keeping a consistent routine, I always make sure children feel cared for and supported. Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and committed to their child’s well-being while making sure they have a great time. I look forward to getting to know your family!
