Hi! My name is Melanie, and Iβm a recent college graduate who will be starting Rutgers Law School part time starting this August. I currently work full-time at a law firm and am excited to connect with a family seeking weekend or weekday evening childcare support.I come from a large family with six siblings, so caring for children has always been second nature to me. I also have over six years of paid babysitting experience, along with three years of experience as a nanny during college. I have a reliable car and am comfortable providing transportation to and from activities, helping with tutoring, and assisting with light housekeeping as needed.Iβm passionate about working with children and love having the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives while learning from them as well. Outside of work, I enjoy running, reading, singing, and scrapbooking. Iβm also excited to be engaged and will be getting married this May!

Hi! My name is Adriana and I'm 21 years old. I've been working with children for over four years through daycare, nannying, and helping care for family friends. I've had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and personalities, as well as with children with ADHD/ADD and ASD. My caregiving style is a balance of gentle parenting and firm guidance when necessary. While I never raise my voice, I am still able to make sure children know they are heard and understood while also being safe through calm, but effective communication.I love encouraging creativity and imagination through play and crafts, and I especially enjoy working with families who prioritize little to no screen time, and love the outdoors! I'm always happy to get on the child's level and engage with their imagination. In addition to basic childcare, I have experience being a household manager and am always willing to work out an agreement that works for each specific household!

I'm a 34-year-old educator and caregiver with 15 years of experience teaching ESL to children and adults, both in Brazil and here in the US. Before stepping into classrooms, I worked as a sitter in Brazil caring for children from infants through elementary school age, which gave me a grounded, hands-on foundation in child development across every stage.What truly shaped me as a caregiver is being the proud mom of an incredible 8-year-old son on the spectrum. He has taught me more about patience, adaptability, unconditional love, and creative problem-solving than any degree ever could. That's also why I keep my hours focused on mornings, so that every afternoon I can show up fully for him. π₯°
