Hi! My name is Azra, and I’m a college student in New York City. I’m a dependable, patient, and friendly caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or simply keeping kids engaged, I’m happy to help make your family’s day a little easier. I’ve worked in customer service for several years, which has taught me responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm under pressure. I’m comfortable helping with meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, and keeping routines organized. I’m also happy to assist with homework and creative activities, especially drawing, painting, and other arts and crafts. I’m currently attending college while working, so I understand the importance of being reliable, punctual, and respectful of every family’s unique routine. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and have fun.

Hello! My name is Sila, I am 29 years old. I completed a degree in Preschool Education in my country, and after graduating I came to the United States through the Au Pair program to care for children. My favorite age group is infants, babies and toddlers, and I have extensive experience with them. I was an Au Pair for a baby from 2 months to 15 months old and his 2-year-old sister for a year, but I was taking care of the newborn and the responsibility was on me all day-full time. Morning and night routines, preparing meals, giving him baths, taking him outside, transferring to solid foods, helping with motor skill, burping him, feeding on schedule and creating a calm environment for his growth -everything was my responsibility. We enjoyed going to the park, doing puzzles, visiting the library, making rock and leaf collections, reading picture books together, playing with sensory toys, and encouraging crawling and walking. After my Au Pair year, I cared for an 18-month-old toddler for 1.5 years, until she started school. I gained experience with potty training, sleep training, preparing a variety of different meals, doing activities with her, and participating in various events. Also we enjoyed playing with princess toys and Barbies, going to the park, having playdates at the library, baking cookies, coloring, and playing with playdough. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 5 months to 14 months old. My responsibilities included preparing bottles and healthy meals, introducing solid foods, maintaining feeding and nap schedules, diaper changes, baths, developmental play, outdoor walks, and supporting important milestones such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also worked part-time or one time job for a lot of families, and in my home country I worked in both a kindergarten and a daycare. I love cooking and can prepare different kinds of healthy meals for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training( American Red Cross), and I have a valid driver's license. I can provide references from my Au Pair family and the most recent family I worked for. I am fully vaccinated (Flu, Tdap, and COVID vaccines). I am also happy to help with light housework and to support mothers. I don't smoke, and I love animals.

I’ve been involved with child care and educational extracurriculars since high school, from camp counseling to coaching robotics. I’m currently studying Interactive Media Arts at NYU, with additional coursework in Studio Art, Journalism, and Computer Science, blending my love for inquiry, storytelling, and media arts. Along the way, I’ve tutored math and am comfortable adding language arts, science, and history subjects to my repertoire. When I babysit, my goal is to ensure children have fun in immersing experience. This builds everyday learning--whether through imaginative play or tackling a skill they thought was out of reach. I love art projects and hands-on activities, and I’ve even got some colorful materials ready for crafting adventures! Plus, I’m always up for getting on the floor to explore toys and trinkets with as much enthusiasm as they do. I’m also a pet lover, comfortable with cats and a proud dog mom to a Chihuahua mix. Whether it’s an afternoon of creativity or helping with homework, I strive to create a positive, engaging experience for every child I work with.
