Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a certified educator with a strong background in Montessori education, early childhood and elementary education, special education, general education, and family support. I hold dual certification in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education, with training and experience supporting children across both general and special education settings. My background includes working in Montessori school environments, supporting student programming, partnering closely with families, and serving as a trusted point of communication between parents, children, teachers, and school leadership. What makes me stand out is the combination of warmth, structure, and professionalism I bring into a home. I understand child development, routines, emotional regulation, independence-building, and the importance of meeting each child where they are. I’m calm, patient, highly organized, and intentional about creating an environment where children feel safe, respected, and engaged. I also love language learning and cultural curiosity. I have studied Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and music, and I enjoy incorporating songs, conversation, reading, creative play, and age-appropriate learning into my time with children when families are interested. Professionally, I’ve worked closely with busy families, school communities, and executive leadership, so I understand the importance of trust, discretion, reliability, and clear communication. I’m especially comfortable with school-aged children and can support homework, reading, routines, creative activities, after-school transitions, bedtime, snacks/meals, and child-related tidying. I’m available for flexible evening and weekend babysitting, including date nights, occasional care, homework support, and family coverage. My goal is to provide care that feels warm, thoughtful, and dependable — so parents can feel fully at ease and children can feel genuinely cared for.
Hi! I’m Nathaly, a warm and caring nanny with over 5 years of experience creating safe, fun, and loving environments for children. As an online college student soon to graduate, I have a flexible schedule and a passion for helping families thrive. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m skilled in household tasks like meal prep, light cleaning, and organizing, so you can relax knowing everything is taken care of. I’m CPR/AED certified, so you can always feel confident that your little ones are in safe hands. Plus, I absolutely adore pets and would love to care for your furry friends too!
Hi, my name is Marguerita! I’m a Brooklyn nanny with over 30 years of experience in caring for children of various ages. As of recently, I earned my CNA license and became CPR certified. I’ve also expanded my child-care knowledge through participation in several nanny and speech therapy workshops over the last couple of years. I enjoy facilitating indoor and outdoor activities, providing homework help (when able), and cooking. I look forward to working with you and your kids!
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.
Hello! My name is Jasmine, and I’m currently a Psychology student. Although I’m a college student, I have a flexible schedule and can frequently accommodate families needs. I love working with children and supporting their growth in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to 5 years old. Growing up in a large family, I was always surrounded by babies and young children, which helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a genuine love for childcare. I also enjoy creating engaging activities that encourage learning, development, and play. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m a big animal lover and comfortable caring for pets. I have both a dog and a cat and have over 8 years of experience helping care for animals. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, dependable, and always strive to create a positive experience for both children and parents.
