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.

Booked by 1 family in Staten Island, NY

I am currently continuing my education, with an interest in healthcare policy and management. My background has helped me build strong communication and responsibility skills that I apply when working with others. I have almost two years of experience working with elementary school children through an after-school program. In this role, I helped supervise, support activities, and create a safe and positive environment for kids. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid, which allows me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations. In addition, I have experience caring for younger relatives and am comfortable and willing to work with younger children. I enjoy caregiving because I like being someone others can rely on. I find it rewarding to help children feel safe, supported, and comfortable, while also making sure they have fun. Something personal about me is that I am patient, responsible, and attentive. I take my role seriously, but I also know how to connect with kids in a fun and caring way.
