A little bit about me

Hi!
I’m 23, I live in Belleville New Jersey!
I currently work in The Newark Public School District.
My education has been focused on early childhood development, but pursuing the studies of communication sciences and disorders.

I began my journey into child care in 2016, when I got a lead teacher position in a Pre-K room.
I directed my classroom for 5years, each year with groups of 12-15 (4/5yr olds)

Over the course of that time I babysat in between.

When the pandemic began I was a nanny for a family of three children.

Now, I work in a classroom with special needs students.
I am looking for part time work for this summer as the school year ends.

I believe in structure and intentional teaching moments.
I’ll lead by example with kindness.

I think you’ll enjoy working with me, and I’m truly looking forward to working in someone’s home again and loving their children.

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in New Jersey

Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in New Jersey for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.

We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.

What Is a Short-Term Nanny?

A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.

Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in New Jersey

A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.

Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions

Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:

  • Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
  • How quickly could you start?
  • Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
  • How would you get to know our routines quickly?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?

At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
