Hello! My name is Mary, and I am a preschool special education teacher currently working in Queens, NY. I am offering childcare services along with light housekeeping, including cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, and preparing simple snacks. I have a strong passion for teaching children and have been in the field of early childhood education for sixteen years. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, teenagers, and young adults, with the majority of my experience focused on children ages 2–5. My responsibilities as a teacher include lesson planning, creating hands-on crafts, and reading age-appropriate storybooks. I am comfortable working in homes with small dogs; however, I am not accustomed to working with other pets, such as cats, hamsters, or large dogs
Hi! My name is Cindy, and I am a dedicated and nurturing sitter with over 8 years of experience caring for children of various ages. I have a passion for creating a safe and engaging environment where kids can thrive while having fun. My experience ranges from babysitting toddlers to helping with homework for school-age children. I'm excited to bring my enthusiasm and care to your family!
I am a highly dependable and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in supporting individuals of all ages, from children to seniors, and even pets. My professional experience includes roles as a Certified Nursing Assistant, Patient Sitter, and Direct Support Professional, where I developed skills in providing attentive care, ensuring safety, and creating nurturing environments. Personally, I have years of experience caring for children, assisting elderly family members, and looking after pets, which has deepened my love for caregiving in all its forms. I hold certifications in Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) and Preventing and Managing Crisis Solutions (PMCS). I am also pursuing advanced education, including a BBA in Business Marketing and a Post-Baccalaureate in Pre-Med, which reflect my dedication to growth and learning. I genuinely love working with children, fostering their creativity, and supporting their development in safe, engaging environments. My time spent with seniors has taught me patience and empathy, while my experience with pets has made me attentive and caring to all living beings. Caregiving isn’t just a job for me—it’s my passion, and I take pride in creating positive experiences for those I care for.
Media Professional Turned Early Childhood Educator | Thoughtful, Creative, and Engaging Caregiver Hi! I’m Hana—a media professional turned early childhood educator with over five years of childcare experience, from preschools to private families and social services. I’ve always been passionate about uplifting children, creating meaningful learning moments, and fostering a sense of curiosity and confidence in every child I work with. After several years at HBO, I decided to shift gears and step into the classroom. My goal? To gain firsthand experience in child development, bringing what I learn into the future of educational media and technology for good. But at my core, I simply love spending time with kids—encouraging their creativity, answering their big questions, and supporting their unique ways of learning and growing. As a sitter, I bring warmth, patience, and a deep respect for child and family.
