Lyudmila $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lyudmila. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person with a lifetime of experience caring for children as a mother of two. I’m looking for part-time childcare work and can be especially helpful with school-age children. I can pick children up from school and bring them home, or handle both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up during the week. After school, I can prepare or warm up their meals, make sure they eat, help with homework, read books, play games, talk with them, and take them to the playground or for a walk. I’m happy to keep children company, keep them engaged, and make sure they are safe and comfortable until their parents come home. I’m patient, attentive, warm, and reliable. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children. I am also a fluent Russian speaker and would be happy to speak Russian with your child if you would like. I would be happy to become a dependable and caring person your family can count on. Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Людмила. Я заботливый, ответственный и надежный человек, у меня большой жизненный опыт общения и ухода за детьми — я мама двоих детей. Я ищу работу по уходу за детьми на неполный рабочий день и особенно хорошо могу помочь семьям с детьми школьного возраста. Могу забирать ребенка из школы и приводить домой, а также при необходимости отводить утром в школу и забирать после школы в течение недели. После школы я могу разогреть или приготовить ребенку еду, проследить, чтобы он поел, помочь с домашним заданием, почитать книжки, поиграть, поговорить с ребенком, погулять или сходить на площадку. Я могу спокойно и с вниманием заниматься ребенком до прихода родителей. Я терпеливая, внимательная, добрая и надежная. Я понимаю, как важно родителям иметь человека, которому они могут доверять своего ребенка. Я также свободно говорю по-русски и могу разговаривать с ребенком на русском языке, если родители этого хотят. Буду рада стать надежным и заботливым человеком, на которого ваша семья сможет рассчитывать.

Nicole $21 per hour for 1 child

Experienced and reliable 21-year-old babysitter with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to babysitter for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for children of all ages. I officially started babysitting at 16 and have since worked extensively with pre-school and elementary-aged kids, providing attentive, engaging, and nurturing care. Whether helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I look after. Currently a senior at Adelphi University, I will be starting dental school at the end of the summer. I have my own car for reliable transportation, making pick-ups, drop-offs, and last-minute scheduling easy. I’m fluent in both English and Russian and also comfortable around pets, as I have two dogs of my own. My experience, patience, and genuine love for working with children make me a dependable choice for any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter.

Hello everyone. My name is Camira and I’ve been around babies and animals my whole life. I’ve also worked in both a daycare and elementary school as a teachers aid. I love to connect with children through play, music, and laughter. I also enjoy being able to create safe and loving environments for them as well. I’m also a huge cat lover.

Rime $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reem, and I am an experienced childcare provider with a background in nursing and education. I come from a big family and have always been around children, including helping care for my siblings’ children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and have experience working as a School Nurse in Morocco and as a Teaching Assistant in the UK, supporting children of different ages. I am patient, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I can help with playtime, educational activities, reading, homework support, meal preparation, daily routines, and providing attentive care. I am currently preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam, the licensing exam required to become a registered nurse in the United States, and I am looking for a part-time babysitting or nanny position caring for one or two children in Bayonne, Jersey City, Newport, Hoboken, or nearby areas accessible by public transportation. I speak three languages: English, French, and Arabic. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, caring childcare.
