Hello! - My name is Sharice, most call me Sha, and I'm currently a sophomore at the School of Visual Arts. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for kids since I was 10 years old! Most of my experience has come from babysitting younger family members as I grew up in a big family and am the 4th oldest of 14 cousins! My responsibilities have included crafts, entertainment, pick-up and drop-off, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own 95 year-old grandma and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook and do many other tasks. Though I was raised in a pet-allergic household, I have been blessed without the allergy and am in love with furry friends!
Hi, I'm Julia! I'm originally from Los Angeles and currently a sophomore at Indiana University studying Sport Marketing and Management with a minor in Business. I am highly organized, active, and responsible. During high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering, which instilled in me a strong sense of care, safety, and attention to detail. I offer dedicated child care, basic pet care, and general household assistance, including organizing and running errands. I have one year of formal babysitting experience, primarily working with active toddlers and school-aged children, ensuring they stay engaged and follow their daily routines safely.love keeping kids active! Because of my background playing tennis, I really enjoy getting kids outside for sports, games, and physical activities. I also love helping them with creative projects and reading. As a current college student, I am well-equipped to provide homework help and tutoring across various subjects. I am also great at teaching basic tennis skills to keep kids moving and having fun! While in high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering. This extensive experience gave me a strong foundation in health, safety, and first-aid principles, making me highly attentive to physical well-being. I also am CPR certified. I am an animal lover and am very comfortable interacting with and caring for standard household pets, including most breeds of dogs and cats, as I have dogs of my own. I am happy to handle neighborhood walks, manage feeding schedules, and provide plenty of energetic playtime. I am completely comfortable around large dogs and pets that shed.
Hi! My name's Jordan! Before I joined the corporate world, I spent 7 years coaching children from ages 4-18 in competitive cheerleading. I also doubled as their camp counselor for 4 of those summers. I'm hoping to help out parents in need of a date night, extra hours at work, time to themselves, etc. There aren't many kids in finance! So I thought this would be a good way to reconnect with them, while helping families out. I can also care for your pets if needed - assuming they're okay with new people. I am prepared to keep your children entertained with whichever activity you prefer! Whether that be helping with their homework, reading to/with them, playing games, etc. I can take them to the park, to school, whatever you need!
Hi! I’m an NYU dental student passionate about pediatric dentistry, with valuable experience working closely with children. I’ve worked as a dental assistant in Boston University’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs, where I developed patience, compassion, and strong caregiving skills. I’m CPR certified for infants and adults, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. As a caregiver, I’m nurturing, reliable, and attentive, creating a warm and calm environment where kids feel happy and comfortable. I also enjoy engaging children with creative activities and games that promote learning and fun. Additionally, I have a year of volunteer experience at an animal shelter in Boston, giving me particular expertise in pet care—especially with cats—so I’m happy to help with your furry family members too. I would love to provide loving, responsible babysitting tailored to your family’s needs!
Hi! I’m Betsy. I’m a preschool teacher on the UWS and I have 2 children of my own (ages 10 and 12). My background is in theater and I love being silly, storytelling, and arts and crafts! I also love being outdoors and finding fun new adventures! I love animals and I have a Pomeranian named Rusty, who is diabetic. I’m comfortable caring for children and animals who may need special care.
