Camira $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone. My name is Camira and I’ve been around babies and animals my whole life. I’ve also worked in both a daycare and elementary school as a teachers aid. I love to connect with children through play, music, and laughter. I also enjoy being able to create safe and loving environments for them as well. I’m also a huge cat lover. I recently rescued two kittens, I’ve fostered two kittens, and grew up with my first cat Lucky. I’d love to add to your village and ease your mind during busy schedules.

Rime $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reem, and I am an experienced childcare provider with a background in nursing and education. I come from a big family and have always been around children, including helping care for my siblings’ children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and have experience working as a School Nurse in Morocco and as a Teaching Assistant in the UK, supporting children of different ages. I am patient, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I can help with playtime, educational activities, reading, homework support, meal preparation, daily routines, and providing attentive care. I am currently preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam, the licensing exam required to become a registered nurse in the United States, and I am looking for a part-time babysitting or nanny position caring for one or two children in Bayonne, Jersey City, Newport, Hoboken, or nearby areas accessible by public transportation. I speak three languages: English, French, and Arabic. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, caring childcare.

Tameah $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oceanport, NJ

As a dedicated nanny, my primary goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I am actively working with 2 babies but I have several years of experience working with many age groups, which has equipped me with the skills to handle their diverse needs, from infants to older children. I am comfortable working in homes with pets. My commitment extends beyond basic childcare; I am eager to assist with household tasks and be a helpful part of the family. I pride myself on preparing healthy meals, organizing fun and educational activities, and assisting with homework to support their development. Safety is my top priority, and I hold CPR and First Aid certifications to ensure I can respond effectively in emergencies. I thrive on building strong relationships with both the children and their families, fostering creativity, and encouraging a love for learning.

Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Beck (she/they) and I am sitter/caregiver with 10+ years of experience. I have been a nanny/sitter in the city for over dozens of families for kids ages newborn-13 years old (including experience with twins and triplets!). I am also comfortable being a caregiver for seniors and children/adults with different abilities and special needs as I have cared for both. My prior responsibilities include driving, creative outlets (music and dance as I have a background in those), cooking, house work/cleaning, and running errands. I am also comfortable with any type of pet you may have and offer pet/house sitting as well! I look forward to meeting you and your family!
