Most recently, I have worked for a family nannying for an 8 and 11 year old after school. I am a writer and artist and can bring fun, creative projects to your child's life.

Hi! I am a 26 year old Psychology graduate and have worked with kids since 2015. I love working with kids and playing with them while being vigilant and making sure they’re safe. I am bubbly and energetic which helps keep up with the kids energy as well as household chores. I have worked with kids with special needs as well as kids at a camp and in a day care which gives me a versatile amount of experience with varying ages of kids.

Hi! I’m Maddie, a 22 year old recent college graduate who just started working full time as a paralegal in Manhattan. I’m looking for some extra work with flexible scheduling and really miss my many previous jobs working with children, so I figured this would be the perfect fit!

Hii! I am Helia, and I am a student at Pratt Institute. I love children, and growing up I helped out a lot with taking care of family friends' kids, which included watching over them and playing and crafting with them. I also have a lot of experience working at children's language classes as a teacher's assistant. I have worked for both summer camps and weekly few-hour classes. These jobs mainly include assisting with outdoor activities, feeding the children, and making sure they are all safe throughout the day. The ages of the children usually vary between 6 and 14. I also have some experience volunteering at a kindergarten for a summer, where I had similar tasks to the language classes, except these children were between the ages of 3 and 6. I offer pet care as well, which I have a lot of experience in due to growing up as a pet owner myself. I have a cat and a dog, so I am comfortable with both. I am also fluent in both Hungarian and Farsi, so I am comfortable working with those languages. I also speak elementary German, Korean and Japanese.
