Hello! I’m Donagay, a caring, motivated, responsible, and highly organized individual. My childcare experience expands across all age groups(infants-preteens). I enjoy catering to the needs of the child/children and the family at large. I love helping kids build their literacy through reading books, imagination play, art and crafts among many others. To add, I take pleasure in taking the kids to parks, pool, library, ice-cream run, after school activities etc. I have also helped with light housekeeping, homework, meal prep, laundry and just about everything. Investing in the next generation is extremely important to me and I enjoy being apart of a child's life to help to nurture and instill core values. I am hoping to be of help to you soon. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you so much!

I am originally from the beautiful island of St.Lucia , and I enjoy visiting whenever the time allows. I enjoy the great outdoors, working in my garden and planting new plants and seeds; personally I believe it is important to take advantage of the fresh air. I have two children who have recently graduated from college. I am also a creative person, this led me to attend Penn Foster to pursue a certification in Child Development, although I had to defer due to personal reasons. However, as a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. Most recently, I have cared for a 4 year old which included watching him and preparing minor snacks/light housekeeping. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! I am currently looking for jobs within the areas of Maplewood,South Orange, and Union vicinity.

Hi, I’m Mel! 👋🏼 I’m currently looking for long-term nanny or babysitting positions within 8 miles of Linden (excluding Staten Island). I’m seeking a consistent schedule that totals at least $400/week. If you’re interested, please reach out at least ONE month in advance so my current family has time to find a new caregiver. 😊 ABOUT ME: • 28 years old • Certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR + First Aid + AED through New Life CPR • Fluent in Portuguese, conversational in Spanish • Reliable, punctual, creative, and communicative • Passionate about creating enriching, memorable experiences for kids • Big fan of arts & crafts, science experiments, and puppet shows! 🧸 Experience: • Mostly with ages 2–7, some experience with infants and as a mom helper • Experience with 3 sets of twins • Over 7 years of driving children to/from school, events, and errands • Currently caring for twin 5-year-olds for 4.5 years 💰 RATES: 💡 Minimum commitment: At least $400/week (applies to part-time hours). Hourly rates below apply based on location and duties. 🍼 Babysitting (monitoring, engaging, prepping easy meals, bedtime, walks) • Within 4 miles of Linden: $25/hr (up to 2 kids) • 5 to 8 miles from Linden: $27/hr (up to 2 kids) • + $2/hr for each additional child 🧼 Nannying (includes tasks like laundry, fresh/cooked meals, bathing, schoolwork, planning activities, potty training) • Within 4 miles of Linden: $30/hr (up to 2 kids) • 5 to 8 miles from Linden: $35/hr (up to 2 kids) • + $2/hr for each additional child 🚗💨 If I’m driving your children using my car, gas compensation is required. 📎 NOTES: • References are available upon serious inquiry. Since I’m currently employed, I ask that families reach out only if they are genuinely interested and considering moving forward. I kindly request at least one month’s notice before leaving my current family so they have time to find a new caregiver. • If you’d like to run a background or vehicle check, that’s totally fine! However, please note that the cost is the responsibility of the family. These checks are only valid for a limited time, and as a caregiver, I can’t be expected to purchase a new one every few months for each potential job.
