Hi! My name is Hanna, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children and I hope to be an elementary school social worker one day. I’m currently a college student studying Forensic Psychology at John Jay College, and I’ve spent the past few years supporting kids in both classroom and program settings. I’ve worked one-on-one with first graders, led small group activities in after-school programs, and even helped coordinate summer activities for children with autism and learning differences. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a lot of patience, energy, and creativity to every job. I’ve also taken care of toddlers in the past and love helping little ones learn, play, and feel safe. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply keeping things calm and fun at home, I’m here to support your family however I can!
“Hanna babysat our little one at our Airbnb while we went to a play. Our kiddo had a lot of fun and she sent us regular updates too. My kiddo clearly had a good time and I was happy to have her help! ”

Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm currently a student at Hunter College. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience with children of different ages, from toddlers to older kids. I enjoy keeping them engaged through fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I'm comfortable with following routines, and making sure kids are safe and happy. I love animals and have experience caring for dogs, I can walk, feed, play, and give them lots of attention. I can also help around the house with light cleaning, laundry, errands, and organization. I'm responsible, dependable, and easy to get along with, and I always try to create a positive and supportive environment wherever I work.
“Melissa was wonderful. My daughter (4) loved playing with her and keeps asking her to come back. Highly recommend!”
