Hi! I am a student at Caldwell University. I am a playful, funny and caring- but also a hard worker who will be dedicated to the children's well being. I worked as a babysitter all throughout high school. I work well with younger children and infants as well as all different types of pets. I worked as a sitter for multiple families in Hoboken throughout high school. While working in Hoboken, I did things such as housekeeping, meal prep, dishes, kids wash, etc. in order to help out around the house. While attending college I worked with families in Chatham, Livingston and Nutley. In addition, I do have a car to take the children to appointments or activities if needed. I am also fully vaccinated.

Hey there! 🌟 I’m Nazia, and caring for children has been a passion of mine since I was 9 years old. Over the past decade, I’ve had the joy of looking after kids of all ages—from newborns to teenagers (0–13 years old)—including children with ASD, ADHD, and other special needs. Now at 20, I’ve expanded my experience even further by working professionally as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children with developmental challenges through applied behavior analysis. I’m also certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), First Aid, and CPR, so your child’s safety is always a top priority in my care. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, or simply being a calm and caring presence, I’m committed to creating a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where kids can thrive. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my heart, skills, and experience to your family! Please Check my availability or ask if unsure!

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 7am-5/6pm M-Th. Friday mornings and an occasional evening for date nights, as nights and weekends is dedicated to my child/family. A little about me. My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.
