Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨

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!
