Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child

I am an animal advocate and love them dearly. I am a special education teacher. I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store. I will treat your babies as I treat mine with love and care. I treat my animals as if they were my children. If you would like to schedule a meeting please contact me.[removed]. Please ask me any questions. I am also fingers printed. Thank you for reading my bio, Michelle

Morgan $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15. I have experience babysitting, working in a daycare, and working as a 1:1 aide in a school setting. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and genuinely love working with kids. I enjoy keeping children engaged through play, activities, outings, and creating a fun and comfortable environment for them. I’m looking forward to getting to know your family and providing your children with the care and attention they deserve!

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.

Booked by 7 families in Mount Tabor, NJ

Hi my name is Charity but I go by Ms Harmony. I have over 20 years of experience working with young children. I was an infant and toddler preschool teacher for 15 years and a professional Super Nanny for 10years. I majored in Early Childhood Education and Child Development and became a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Peer Breastfeeding Support Counselor and a Professionally Certified Parenting Coach. Caring for young children and supporting parents is my passion and it brings so much joy into my life. I have a very special gift for comforting and connecting with newborns, infants and toddlers. I am very patient and can handle a crying, frustrated or difficult baby with the ability to respond to their needs in an affectionate and nurturing way. Keeping children safe is so important to me that I became a certified instructor through the American Red Cross to use and teach Adult, Child and Infant CPR/AED and First Aid to new parents and caregivers. Please feel free to contact me if you think we would be a good match. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm Regards, Ms Harmony

Kenya $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kenya, but I prefer to be called Ken. I am a graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ, and a proud alumna of the Special Dance Company. I am currently pursuing my education at Union County College in Cranford, majoring in Health Science, with the goal of entering the medical field—specifically pediatrics. I am a very family-oriented person, and spending quality time with loved ones has always been a priority for me. The joy and connection I’ve experienced with family and friends inspired my passion for childcare. I have 3–5 years of childcare experience, and I understand that caring for children requires patience, multitasking, and attention to detail. My priority as a babysitter is to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I strive to support their development through engaging activities and positive guidance. To ensure safety and well-being, I focus on: - Maintaining clear communication with both children and parents. - Keeping a clean and healthy environment to prevent the spread of germs. - Planning both indoor and outdoor activities that promote learning and creativity. - Following consistent daily schedules, including nap times. - Encouraging a warm, supportive atmosphere where children feel valued. Childhood is such an important stage of life, and I am committed to making it both safe and memorable for the children in my care. Thank you!
