Booked by 1 family in Roosevelt, NJ

Hi Everyone! I am Abigail, 20 year old Au Pair from South Africa. I spent almost 2 years teaching at a daycare centre as well as tutoring and babysitting occasionally. I love spending time with kids and can do anything from cooking to helping with homework, etc. I am currently an Au Pair for a lovely family with three little boys from ages 2 years to 8 years old. I am also comfortable petsitting cats and dogs and house sitting.

“Abigail is currently our superstar Au Pair and has been living with us for the last few months. She predominantly cares for our 2 year old son, but also helps with our older two boys when they return from school (ages 5 and 8). She is wonderful with the boys and she has built an incredible relationship with all 3 of them. She's also very patient and her teaching experience really helps them with their learning and homework needs. She creates a warm, welcoming and enriching environment that ensures the kids have an optimal opportunity to thrive. She's highly reliable and always goes above and beyond our needs. She has a lot of free time in the evenings and over weekends, so I'll highly recommend her as a babysitter for any family.”

Hi! My name is Jackie and I have my teaching degree from SUNY Cortland and am certified in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education. I'm currently pursuing my masters in Early Childhood Literacy from LIU. I'm looking for a fulfilling role as a nanny and to help children grow and prosper! I am very active and love to do activities such as crafts, sports, games, and whatever else their interests are. I have many years of experience with kids from having worked in schools, a daycare, and babysitting from a young age. My most recent role was in a primary school so my heart loves the little ones, but I really enjoy all ages! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out :)
