With over eight years of experience in childcare, teaching, and tutoring, I am passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and understand the importance of patience, creativity, and individualized care. I am fluent in both English and Chinese, allowing me to introduce children to a bilingual learning experience if desired. My background in education has equipped me with the skills to help with homework, tutoring, and creating fun, educational activities tailored to each child’s needs. Beyond teaching, I am also skilled in meal preparation, light housekeeping, and maintaining a structured yet fun daily routine. I believe in fostering positive relationships with both children and parents, ensuring open communication and trust. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and own a reliable car, making transportation safe and convenient. I am also comfortable with pets, adding to my ability to seamlessly integrate into any family setting. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable, and caring nanny who truly loves working with children. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your little ones with love and respect while ensuring their development and safety, I would love to be part of your family!

Hello! I recently moved out of New York City leaving my job in childcare (ages prek-8th) of 3 years. Now I am back in school, training to become a Pilates teacher and generally have a flexible schedule. I loved working with the kids, and the emotional reward of impacting their small lives. In addition to my professional experience in childcare, I also have always had young kids in my family to look after. I want to be a mom myself one day, but until then, I will pour my love, nurture, and attention to others. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello! My name is Olivia and I'm from Long Valley, NJ. I am a creative, outgoing, and adventurous individual. I have about 2 years experience in childcare working in Daycares and have experience with babysitting. I have primarily worked with children aged 5 months to 4 years old and I absolutely love it. I love teaching children new things and watching them grow. I believe one of the most important things in childcare is setting a good bond and trust with the family and child so they know they are in good care. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hello! I am a certified New Jersey public school elementary teacher. I have been teaching ESL for the past three years to grades K-5. I taught English in Spain for 2 years to children ranging from 3 years old to 12 years old. I would love to share my enthusiasm of the Spanish language with the children as it was also my major in college. I worked at a preschool prior to Covid and enjoyed reading stories to the children, making crafts, and having dance breaks with the class. During Covid, I worked as a nanny for a wonderful family who worked remotely from home and I was able to see their child grow from a 6 month old to a toddler. I was responsible for feeding, changing, engaging, walking, and nap time during the two years we were together. Working with children is very rewarding because I learn so much from them and enjoy watching them grow. As a teacher, I am off for the summer and miss working with children and would love to find a family to work with.

My nickname is Z, and I am excited to get to know your family. I love going from planning field trips, fun walks, to the next song we sing, next game we play (made up, card, or board game), all the while, helping your child's inner architect map out an enriching and lifelong internal plan; thereby helping to create an incredible asset to our future. Educated and Montessori trained. I feel that teaching and working with children is my vocation, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to help mould our future for the better. I owned my own kindergarten from 2007 to 2013, and taught up to 26 children per scholastic school year, trained up to three trainees, and had one assistant teacher under my direction. I am: CERT (Community Emergency Response Team - Triage/Search and Rescue) CMAP (CERT Mutual Aid Program- FEMA coordination and CERT leadership) CPA (Community Police Academy) I am a huge rescue/animal lover. My native languages are Swiss German and English (and different dialects within those languages). I am proficient in German and Spanish. I look forward to finding a great position, which allows me to nurture, foster, cultivate, and guide children to become intelligent, caring, compassionate, kind , and radiating bundles of happiness beings. My philosophy: We must nurture the true spirit of the child, in order to unveil their true potential, thus leading to a more peaceful and prosperous world. I do not like to be considered or referred to as a nanny or babysitter, as I facilitate a lot more than this. No offense to babysitters/Nannies, I just feel that, that role diminishes what I personally do and offer for a child/family. Communication is of the utmost important, so please let’s always have an open dialogue, for the most harmonious outcome. Serious inquiries only. Thank you kindly. Z

Jeyda V.
- 3 years paid experience

My name is Jeyda, and I’m so grateful that you’re taking the time to learn a little about me. I’ve always felt like caregiving is a calling — not just something I do, but something that’s a part of who I am. I grew up in a big, close-knit family where helping with the little ones came naturally. I was the cousin who could always be found rocking a baby to sleep, calming a tantrum, or organizing games in the living room. Over the years, I realized how much joy it brings me to be someone a child feels safe with — someone they can laugh with, lean on, and trust. That love for caregiving turned into real experience when I began babysitting for families in my community and later worked at a preschool called The Learning Experience. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and older kids, and I’ve also had the chance to support children on the autism spectrum — which taught me a lot about patience, communication, and the beauty of seeing the world through different perspectives. What matters most to me as a caregiver is building a connection. I want every child I care for to feel heard, valued, and genuinely loved. I believe in gentle guidance, open communication, and lots of encouragement. Whether we’re singing songs during snack time, exploring outside, or navigating big feelings together, I’m there to support not only the child, but you as a family too. Right now, I’m studying to become a labor and delivery nurse — a path that reflects how deeply I care about people, especially in their most important and vulnerable moments. I’m also certified in CPR and First Aid for both infants and adults, so safety is always a priority in everything I do. At the end of the day, I don’t just want to be another set of hands — I want to be someone who makes your child feel special, safe, and celebrated. If I sound like someone who could be a good fit for your home, I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family better”.
