Daniela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Daniela and I am a professional, high-energy nanny with 3 years of paid experience caring for children of all ages. While I enjoy working with all stages of childhood, I have a special heart for toddlers. I love their curiosity and find great joy in creating fun, educational activities that help them reach their milestones. As a native Spanish speaker, I take pride in introducing children to a second language through songs and play-most of my previous kiddos were counting in Spanish within weeks! My goal is to provide parents with total peace of mind, knowing their little ones are in a safe, patient, and nurturing environment. I am highly organized, pet-friendly, a non-smoker. I look forward to meeting your family!

Jordan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name's Jordan! Before I joined the corporate world, I spent 7 years coaching children from ages 4-18 in competitive cheerleading. I also doubled as their camp counselor for 4 of those summers. I'm hoping to help out parents in need of a date night, extra hours at work, time to themselves, etc. There aren't many kids in finance! So I thought this would be a good way to reconnect with them, while helping families out. I can also care for your pets if needed - assuming they're okay with new people. I am prepared to keep your children entertained with whichever activity you prefer! Whether that be helping with their homework, reading to/with them, playing games, etc. I can take them to the park, to school, whatever you need!

Booked by 1 family in Glen Ridge, NJ

Hello, I’m Christopher, and I look forward to the opportunity to tutor. I’m passionate about helping others succeed academically. I tutor in math, science, and engineering, and I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable steps. I have many hobbies, including hiking, running, fixing cars, and working in my father’s construction company to help improve productivity. I also enjoy having conversations with interesting people because it gives me a chance to learn something new from different perspectives. I consider myself to be an active individual whenever I’m not studying or working, as the benefits it brings know no bounds.

Alexa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Alexa, a nurturing, playful, and dependable caregiver with years of hands-on childcare experience. From daycares, teaching, babysitting and now a nanny for a private family of two years my experience is pretty well-rounded and has given me the skills to adapt to each child’s unique needs with ease and care. I love creating safe, engaging environments where kids can play, learn, and grow with care. From imaginative play and outdoor adventures I’m all about giving children my full attention and making every day both fun and structured. Families describe me as reliable, and genuinely connected to the little ones I care for. I bring patience, creativity, and a big heart to everything I do and your child’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority!
