Booked by 2 families in Cedar Grove, NJ

Hi! My name is Shimaine, but you can call me Shi (pronounced like “shy”). I’m a loving, fun, and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages. My journey started in middle school and high school, babysitting for families in my community. During undergrad, I worked for an on-call nanny agency, gaining even more hands-on experience with children of all ages. I later worked as a CNA and direct care provider, assisting individuals with daily living tasks, light housekeeping, and meal prep. When it comes to kids, I’m all about keeping them entertained and engaged. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or coming up with creative ways to make daily routines more fun. I understand that every child is different, and I know how to connect with them on their level. Currently, I’m a Registered Behavior Technician and working toward my Behavior Analyst certification, so I have plenty of experience with structure, positive reinforcement, and making learning fun. As a dog owner, I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help in pet-friendly homes. I have a reliable vehicle, CPR certification, and a strong commitment to making life easier for families. Looking forward to helping out however I can!

I've worked with and highly recommend Shi as a babysitter! As an RBT, they have exceptional experience working with children, including those with diverse needs. Their patience, creativity, and ability to keep kids engaged make them a fantastic caregiver. Parents can trust that their children are in safe, capable, and caring hands!

Booked by 5 families in Cedar Grove, NJ

Hi! I'm a mom of 2 children (both mid 20’s), from Eastern Europe and have been a nanny/household manager/chauffeur for over 25 years on and off. I enjoy being outdoors, singing songs and truly enjoy working with small children (I miss when mine were that age!). Most of my friends refer to me as the child whisperer because somehow I'm always able to make children laugh and smile. I look forward to finding new families to work with and can guarantee you that I will care for your children as if they were my own, as I do with all of the kids I care for. I’m currently looking for a family, preferably for afterschool care and am able to drive (my license is clean and I’ve been a driver for over 20 years). I am a great cook and do not mind cooking for your children. I also don't mind running simple errands and will do very light housework (picking up after kids/laundry). I can drive children in both my car or a parent’s car and am CPR certified. Policies: *I have a 4 hour work minimum policy which means that I must be booked and paid for at least 4 hours. I require full payment for the time I am booked regardless of when you are home. **Cancellation: If you cancel within 48 hours of scheduled start time I require 50% payment, 24 hours I require full payment. Please understand that my time is valuable and it's hard to book last minute work. Thank you!

Daniela is absolutely wonderful and very reliable! My son Josiah is 5 now and she has taken care of him multiple times since birth. She communicates with me effectively throughout the day and would ease my anxiety as a first time mom! She always engaged in educational activities, provided loving care, and managed Josiah’s routine with ease, and even though she wasn’t with us daily, every time she stepped in she was able to pick right up from where she left off. If she wasn’t already working full time, I would have snatched her up immediately! Your kids will love her and so will you!

I’m a 22-year-old who loves working with kids and animals. I have experience caring for children of different ages and always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy helping kids learn through play and creativity. I also have hands-on experience with dogs, including walking, feeding, and basic care, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my positive energy, reliability, and love for kids and animals to your team.
