Booked by 1 family in Kenvil, NJ

I’m a 20 year old college student looking mainly for weekend work/ part time to help pay for school. I don’t have much paid experience but I have lots of personal experience. When I was younger my mom was a nanny and I was always her little assistant helping out with the kids she looked after ranging from ages 1-8. I also have a niece that I look after every now and then who just turned 4. Lastly throughout the week I work as a pediatric dental assistant so caring for kids comes naturally! If you have pets I have experience on caring for reptiles, cats and dogs. Cpr/ first aid/BLS certified: ✅ Meals and light housekeeping: ✅ Own transportation:✅

Myra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Myra, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience helping raise my younger siblings from infancy through childhood. I’m very comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime, homework help, and supervising multiple children. I’m patient, calm, and safety-focused, and I do my best to create a positive, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also organized, attentive, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take that responsibility seriously while making sure children feel happy, engaged, and safe

Shekezi $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kezi, and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around children. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I would treat every child with kindness, attention, and respect. I offer attentive childcare, including supervising children, helping with feeding and mealtimes, diaper changes, maintaining routines, engaging children in fun activities, and keeping their spaces tidy. I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in caring and dependable hands. I enjoy helping children learn, explore, and have fun through age-appropriate activities. This can include reading books, singing songs, playing games, doing arts and crafts, taking walks, and encouraging creativity and development.

Maggie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Maggie and I’m excited to apply for the caregiver position. I bring with me a strong sense of responsibility, deep compassion, and a genuine love for helping others. I’ve always believed that caregiving is not just a job—it’s a commitment of the heart. I take pride in being reliable and trustworthy, showing up consistently for the people, children, pets or homes I care for, both emotionally and physically. Whether it's assisting with daily tasks, providing companionship, chasing a toddler or simply being a calming presence, I give my full attention and respect to the individual’s needs. My honesty and loyalty are values I live by. Families who have trusted me with their loved one, thier homes and or fur babies have always appreciated my open communication, integrity, and long-term dedication. each person, child, pet and home I care for as if they were my own family—with kindness, dignity, and love. Being a caregiver is more than a role to me—it’s a calling. And I am committed to making a positive, meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve. Thank you for considering me. I would be honored to bring my heart and skills into your home. Sincerely Maggie
