Dominion 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Dominion, and I’m a biology graduate from the college of mount Saint Vincent, NY. I used to work as a microbiologist and now preparing for my masters program. I offer reliable child care, and household services. I have a passion for babysitting and have been caring for children—from newborns to preteens, including all my little cousins during summer vacations. My experience includes school pickups, engaging activities like crafts, tutoring, and even managing dance lessons. In addition to babysitting, I could provide household support, including cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for my grandparents, so I'm comfortable with senior care, whether it’s preparing meals, or helping with daily tasks. My hobbies include listening to music, YouTube, shopping, working in a laboratory and reading leisurely. Looking forward to meeting you!

“When my mother-in-law was unexpectedly unavailable, I reached out to Dominion and she saved the day! She arrived on time and instantly connected with my 6-month-old, which is no easy feat considering that I work from home and my daughter is super attached to me. I was instantly comforted by my daughter's smile when Dominion reached for her and by Dominion's innate ability to soothe her when she did get a bit fussy later in the day. She understood my daughter's cues, and we had a chance to laugh about them together after I had finished a few meetings. She also treated my home with great respect and showed a genuine interest in getting to know my family. I know I will continuously reach out to her when needed. Thank you, Dominion!”

Jamora $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jamora, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, caregiving has always been one of my greatest passions. I’ve worked in daycares and childcare settings since I was 16 years old, and throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. I’m CPR/AED certified, trained in anaphylaxis response, and have completed specialized training in infant care, special education, and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. What makes me a great caregiver is not just my experience, but my genuine love for helping others feel safe, supported, and valued. I’m known for my patience, nurturing personality, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and warmth to every environment I step into, whether I’m caring for kids, seniors, pets, or assisting with household tasks. I believe every person deserves care that is thoughtful and tailored to their needs, and I take pride in being that dependable, compassionate presence in their lives.

Booked by 147 families in Asbury Park, NJ

Hi! I'm Moni. I work in a flexible freelance role, and occasionally babysit and help with organizing spaces on the side when I'm free. I've always had a nuturing side from a young age from helping out my family with their kiddos and for many pets. I'm comfortable around all creatures- including farm animals and reptiles:) I have plenty experience caring for newborns to teens, and always encourage exploring their creativity, learning abilities, and talents in whatever it may be. I was a jazz/tap dancer at a younger age so I love dance. Plus hiking and cycling, DIY, gardening, music, cooking, theatre, painting, and organizing spaces. In my free time I volunteer at different organizations for youth and animals, and go to as many museums and road trips as I can. Note: I’m open to lower hourly/flat rate for pet/animal care, and able to help walk/feed/do check-ins/companion time for pets.

Amanda $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated educator and parent with 17 years of Elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Over nearly two decades, I have guided children of all ages through their academic, social, and emotional development. My background in school counseling equips me with a deeply empathetic, patient approach, allowing me to connect with children on their level, foster emotional resilience, and tailor activities to their unique learning styles. As a parent of two children of my own, I bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting instincts to every family I support. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand off your little ones, as well as the importance of maintaining a safe, calm, and joyful household rhythm. Whether guiding homework, leading creative projects, or facilitating positive play, my goal is to create a warm environment where your child feels heard, confident, and engaged. I am also a big cat lover with three of my own, as well as a snake and hamster as pets! I look forward to partnering with your family!
