Booked by 1 family in College Point, NY

Hello, I’m Christopher, and I look forward to the opportunity to tutor. I’m passionate about helping others succeed academically. I tutor in math, science, and engineering, and I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable steps. I have many hobbies, including hiking, running, fixing cars, and working in my father’s construction company to help improve productivity. I also enjoy having conversations with interesting people because it gives me a chance to learn something new from different perspectives. I consider myself to be an active individual whenever I’m not studying or working, as the benefits it brings know no bounds.

Ariana $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in College Point, NY

Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m a responsible and energetic caregiver with years of hands-on experience working with kids in a variety of settings. I’ve spent summers at a relaxed arts and crafts camp for children ages 7–13, leading creative projects, outdoor games, and group activities. I’ve also coached youth soccer for kids ages 3–12, focusing on teamwork, fun, and skill-building. During high school, I worked as a certified lifeguard for four years, which taught me strong safety awareness and emergency readiness — qualities I bring to every caregiving role. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve regularly cared for younger family members and love connecting with kids through creativity, sports, and play. I’m currently finishing my degree at Barnard College of Columbia University, where I’ve continued to nurture my love for learning and teaching. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or just being a calm and supportive presence, I aim to make kids feel safe, seen, and engaged. Above all, I strive to be as helpful as possible to the families I work with. I’m dependable, patient, and always ready to support in whatever way I can.

Elizabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and easygoing caregiver and family assistant. I graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Psychology, and I’ll be starting my Master’s in Social Work at NYU in the Fall of 2027, where I’m interested in working with children and families. For the past six years, I worked closely with one family and became a big part of their day-to-day life. I was very invested in their day-to-day life but as the needs of the family and my own goals have changed, I am looking to find part-time work until I start studying full time next year. Ultimately I hope to be a reliable resource for any family needing occasional/part-time help.

Booked by 1 family in College Point, NY

I am Cornelia , an experienced nanny with great references! I have had the opportunity to care for kids from newborns to school age for the past 16 years, and it has been a pleasure. My skills has sharpened as the years went by, and it has taught me a lot about myself. I love caring for kids because it affords me the opportunity to help contribute towards our next generation, as the first three years of a child’s life is the most crucial phase developmentally.
