Regina Y., Nanny in South Amboy, NJ 08879 with 19 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Regina, and I’m a 34-year-old mother to a wonderful 9-year-old boy. I live in Staten Island and am currently focused on offering reliable, compassionate, and experienced childcare within the borough. I’m a licensed cosmetologist, a dedicated homeschooling mom, and a certified provider of Basic Life Support (BLS) through the American Heart Association. I speak both English and Russian fluently, and I was born and raised in the U.S. Childcare has been a consistent part of my life for about 19 years. Ive babysat since I was about 16 years old.Prior to having my son, I cared for two young girls over several years—one from the age of 3 to 8, and another around age 9 or 10 for a year. I’ve also helped care for my younger sister, who is now 18. Recently Ive watch a sibling pair aged 1 and 5 . Currently watching a sweet 8 month old boy and occasional date nights for a 10 month old. I am patient, kind, attentive, and deeply compassionate—traits that make me a natural caregiver. I genuinely enjoy being around children, and I aim to create a safe, warm, and engaging environment. Your child’s well-being would be my top priority, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines you prefer, and although I don’t have formal special needs experience, I’m a fast learner and very adaptable. I have my own transportation and am currently available for local work within Staten Island only. I do not bring my child to work—when I’m caring for your child(ren), my full focus is on them. I’m looking for a part-time position with a minimum of 4 hours per shift, ideally 3–5 days per week. My schedule is flexible around homeschooling and extracurriculars. I’m open to caring for up to 2 children (possibly 3, depending on ages), and I’d be happy to coordinate potential playdates if that’s something you’re interested in. Rates: • $20-$25/hour for one child depending on age • Additional $5/hour for each extra child or additional duties I’d love the opportunity to speak with you further and answer any questions. Meeting in person or having a quick phone interview is the best way to see if we’re a good fit. As a fellow parent, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, nurturing, and reliable. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your children with love and care—you’ve found the right person. Warmly, Regina

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).

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.
