Hi- My name is Taisha and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter, as the oldest of my family I have been watching my siblings and cousins as well as newborns, infants and toddlers, since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included drop off and pick up/from school, crafts, tutoring, and teaching. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents I can cook, accompany them to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to dogs.
“Taisha is reliable, punctual, and professional. I was worried that my dad would not be comfortable having someone other than myself help him during the day, but he had the best things to say.”
I am a current MBA student and graduate of Georgetown University who loves children and has vast experience in childcare returning to babysitting while out of the job market. I have tutored kids from first to seventh grade, been a preschool assistant teacher and babysat for many families over the years. My duties have included school pick up and drop-off, meal preparation and planning fun activities for the kids. I am a big fan of getting outside and doing something active or creative. With a cognitive science degree focusing on child development, I am confident I will be a terrific complement to your family. I look forward to hearing from you!
I grew up in New York City with a younger brother in an arts driven, multicultural family. My passions are language, grounding in nature, traveling, epicurean adventures, cooking, wellness and the arts. Along with my work in childcare, I am a published fine artist working in photography. I believe kids can teach us a lot with their curiosity, wisdom and free spirits. I always learn something new about myself in the company of children and I’ve worked with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I find them totally inspiring for my own creative work. I am also a big believer in families and have been offering them support through nurture, protection and care for nearly two decades. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and ability to support families through Doula studies. I seek connection with compassionate and kind families who value the contribution of caregivers~ those who know the work of care is a beautiful act of service that upholds the wellbeing of our collective. *Please be honest in your post or when we speak whether you have a sick child. A sick child rate is available, discussed and agreed upon at hire.
“Nora helped me out when I needed it most. She was very reliable and I felt like my kids were in good hands. I plan to ask her for her services in the future. My kids really enjoyed spending time with Nora.”

Hi! I’m Kristin! I’m in my twenties and originally from CT, but I’ve been living in NYC since graduating from college. I work in marketing, but I’ve always loved working with children and I’d love to support your family! I’m available most weeknights and weekends. I have over 10 years of childcare experience caring for children of all ages and backgrounds. I’m energetic, engaging, and love creating fun, age-appropriate enrichment activities, while also being attentive to specific routines and preferences. For infants and toddlers, I am experienced in bottle and meal preparation/feeding, diaper changes, potty training, bath and bedtime routines, and following set schedules. For older children, I have a background in tutoring students from elementary school through college, so I’m happy to help with academic work. I’m also fluent in Spanish and ASL. I have experience caring for children with disabilities and specialized needs. I’m happy to work closely with your family to ensure consistency with therapies, behavioral strategies, sensory needs, medication schedules, and other care plans. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and positive environment for your children. I’m also comfortable with travel, public transportation, overnights and caring for multiple children, including twins and triplets. I also have a valid driver’s license and clean driving record if transportation is needed. While the safety of your family is my top priority, I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, pet care, errands, and other family needs. I will ensure your home is clean and I will respect any house rules you have in place. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family! I’m happy to provide references, schedule an introductory call, or arrange a trial visit to ensure we are a great fit!
