Jada $24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Haledon, NJ

Working with children has always been close to my heart. Through years of experience in nonprofit programs and children’s ministry at my local church, I’ve learned how meaningful it is to create a space where children feel safe, included, and cared for. As a head camp counselor, I had the chance to create fun, enriching experiences for the children in my care. My studies in child advocacy and policy have also deepened my understanding of children’s needs and well-being. I’m warm, patient, playful, and attentive, and I love finding ways to make children laugh, learn, and feel valued. I know how much a caring mentor can mean in a child’s life, and I hope to be that person for the children I work with.

Hi families! 😊 My name is Zulay, I’m 21 years old and I’m currently working as a nanny.
