Booked by 3 families in Red Bank, NJ

I am a pre-med biology graduate from Morgan State University and a certified medical assistant. These studies have strengthened my understanding of health and safety, which is crucial to being a competent caregiver. As I continue my path of education, I hope to become a pediatrician who expresses my genuine compassion for caring for kids, not just physically but emotionally as well. As one of the oldest kids in my family, I have been accustomed to babysitting for quite some time. From babysitting my newborn nieces and nephews overnight to watching my cousins for almost a week. I also have experience in animal sitting for 2 years, whether that be dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Caregiving has been a pivotal part of my life since I was younger, growing up in my household. Having to assist my younger brother and sister with homework, cooking them dinner, and being a beacon of knowledge, care, and love for them. I love caregiving because I enjoy being a dependable person that people can count on. It gives me a sense of purpose because I know that I am playing an essential role in their life. Constantly showing up and being present, supporting their development, reminds me that even little, everyday actions such as these are the ones that make a difference and create a village for kids to be nurtured and grow healthily.

Giana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have five years of professional childcare experience as a Teaching Assistant at You’re Adorable Nursery School in the Bronx. In this role, I cared for young children, organized interactive story times and learning activities, welcomed prospective families, and trained new employees to maintain a high standard of care. I was also trusted to babysit the nursery school owner’s three daughters outside of work. Additionally, I regularly care for my four nieces and nephews, giving me continued hands-on experience with children of different ages. I’m patient, nurturing, responsible, and attentive. I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with meals and routines, and keeping children safe and engaged. I’m also dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. My professional experience and close involvement with my nieces and nephews have made childcare something that comes very naturally to me.

My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.
