Zahar $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Zahar, a registered nurse based in Brooklyn with a background in childcare, school nursing, pediatric psychiatry, and elder care. I’m also pursuing my doctorate in psychiatric nursing. I bring patience, warmth, and a calm approach to caregiving. My experience has taught me how to support different personalities and needs, help children through big feelings, and stay attentive to their safety and well-being. I enjoy creating a comfortable environment where children feel heard and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime routines while following your family’s preferences. I also love cooking! Clear communication and respecting your household’s routines are important to me. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, and backup care around my nursing schedule. I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help!

Rosmy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rosmy, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have experience working with both children on the autism spectrum and neurotypical children, so I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, responsible, and energetic, and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or keeping a consistent routine, I always make sure children feel cared for and supported. Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and committed to their child’s well-being while making sure they have a great time. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Tequyra $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a full-time student attending Montclair State University. I am very responsible with kids of all ages, as I am the oldest of my seven siblings. They range from 1 year to 10 years old. I was also a foster kid, so I've taken care of many of my foster siblings as well. I am looking for work during the breaks (summer, winter, and spring) and am also available to work weekends.

Jada $24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ho Ho Kus, 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.
