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.

Alix $20 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with infants ages 6-weeks to 8 months during the summers and winters that I had off from school. I have also been an intern and student teacher at an elementary school. I have multiple pets of my own including both dogs and cats. I have been taking care of cleaning my house and cooking food for many years and am a huge fan of clean, healthy, and nutritious eating. I am an extremely creative person with a passion for arts while I also love going on walks and trips to the beach. As I have experience with infants I have a knack for exposing children to different environments, tactile exposure, foods, and textures. Due to my background in education I also am able to incorporate learning into almost anything. I have been also always been able to create strong rapport and bonds with children from infancy to elementary grades.

Hello everyone, ********Thank you for considering me for a booking request. However, I must request that you refrain from submitting a booking until you have had the opportunity to communicate with me. As a substitute teacher, I am currently unable to accommodate short-notice bookings.********* In my free time, I enjoy nature walks with my family, baking, circuit-based crafts, solving puzzles and Sudoku, making silly songs with my kids, and reading. These activities allow me to keep kids entertained without screens. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in biology from Montclair State University. Plus, I’ve been teaching online for over five years, and I’ve also worked as a professional nanny and in daycare centers. I am delighted to provide childcare and nurturing for families. I can drive children to parks, museums, ice skating arenas, and sports practices at the YMCA, JCC, and various facilities. I am highly engaging with children of all ages, even when managing multiple children.

With over 7 years of experience, I have worked as both an Au Pair and a full- time nanny, providing exceptional care to children ranging from 4 weeks to 14 years old. As a vaccinated nanny, I am committed to ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I truly enjoy working with children, supporting their growth.I love engaging in activities such as outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, baking, and reading, always striving to make each day memorable and enjoyable for the kids I care for.

Outside of work I enjoy reading, yoga, exploring new dining spots, sightseeing, and visiting places with waterfalls and beaches.

Booked by 2 families in Butler, NJ

Hi! My name is Shimaine, but you can call me Shi (pronounced like “shy”). I’m a loving, fun, and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages. My journey started in middle school and high school, babysitting for families in my community. During undergrad, I worked for an on-call nanny agency, gaining even more hands-on experience with children of all ages. I later worked as a CNA and direct care provider, assisting individuals with daily living tasks, light housekeeping, and meal prep. When it comes to kids, I’m all about keeping them entertained and engaged. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or coming up with creative ways to make daily routines more fun. I understand that every child is different, and I know how to connect with them on their level. Currently, I’m a Registered Behavior Technician and working toward my Behavior Analyst certification, so I have plenty of experience with structure, positive reinforcement, and making learning fun. As a dog owner, I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help in pet-friendly homes. I have a reliable vehicle, CPR certification, and a strong commitment to making life easier for families. Looking forward to helping out however I can!

“I've worked with and highly recommend Shi as a babysitter! As an RBT, they have exceptional experience working with children, including those with diverse needs. Their patience, creativity, and ability to keep kids engaged make them a fantastic caregiver. Parents can trust that their children are in safe, capable, and caring hands!”
