Karolynne 2 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in East Orange, NJ

Hi! My name is Karolynne born and raised in Jersey City with a Honduran background. I am fluent in both english and spanish. Offering services for Childcare, Senior care and household services. With children I enjoy many activities and keeping them busy and entertained but also assist them in learning while having fun and being safe. I love to get creative with activities during the childcare. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, assisting with homework and going to the park. I tutored during my high school and college years. I love cooking and baking and a hobby is trying new recipes. For Senior Care I can provide driving and cooking assistance. I enjoy senior care because I love long conversations and keeping seniors company. For Household Services, I can cook, assist with cleaning and laundry. I have a very bubbly personality and enjoy being around children and people!

“Karolynne was a God send on late notice (less than 24 hours!) to provide childcare assistance to my husband with our 4 year old and 1.5 year old as we were in town (and I was out for 2 days) at a conference. The kids warmed up to her almost immediately including our 1.5 year old who is typically shy, and she was a dream to work with - going the extra mile to tidy up when my husband was prepping food or when she had a free moment. With her help we were able to get the kids out to a nearby playground and spend the days with enriching activities. We could not ask for someone better and wished we could bring her back home with us to be our permanent nanny. We are so grateful to have found her and will be keeping in touch for future visits!”

Clara $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a passion for helping others. I am a proud mother of four wonderful children, who are now between the ages of 19 and 42, and a loving grandmother. My experience raising a large family has taught me compassion, responsibility, organization, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to my personal caregiving experience, I have worked as a teacher’s aide supporting children with special needs, where I developed strong communication, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with more families. I enjoy helping with daily routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and providing attentive, respectful care. Families describe me as trustworthy, calm, reliable, and compassionate. My goal is to make your loved one feel comfortable, valued, and cared for while giving your family peace of mind.
