Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a college student pursuing a career as a paramedic. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter for nearly four years, and I truly love caring for children. I enjoy doing crafts, baking, and going on little adventures that make learning fun and engaging. Creating a safe, positive, and happy environment for kids is very important to me. I’m also a big animal lover and have three pets of my own!
“Sam has worked with our family for several years and has been truly wonderful. She’s helped care for our two children since they were very young and our kids absolutely love her. She is always dependable and such a kind person. Our kids are always out on fun activities around the city with Sam, and they love spending time with her. Even as our kids have grown, she’s still an active part of our lives. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to any family.”

Hi! I’m Kemberly, and I’ve been working with children since 2018 from sweet, curious infants to independent teens — and I truly love what I do. I spent several years working with the Department of Education as a self-contained classroom teacher during the school year, and as a lead teacher in Summer Rising and after-school programs. While I’ve recently transitioned out of the DOE, I carry those years of experience, structure, and creativity into every caregiving role I take on. Outside of the classroom, I’ve also worked as a nanny, including caring for infants, and as a Behavioral Technician providing one-on-one support to children on the autism spectrum. Whether I’m soothing a baby, helping with homework, or planning fun, enriching activities, my goal is always to create a warm, safe, and engaging space where every child feels seen and supported.
“We couldn’t be happier with Kemberly! Matias clicked with her the moment he saw her — it was such a sweet and instant connection. She was absolutely lovely, warm, and attentive. On top of that, she left our apartment super organized, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend her!”

Hi everyone- My name is Eleni and I’m a recent graduate from Syracuse University. I am offering childcare, household services, and dog care. I’ve been babysitting children 2 years old to 15 years old for over two years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects) crafts, and helped with Spanish lessons. This last year while working my full time job I’ve assisted two families on the weekends during date night, or in the evenings on weekdays. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please reach out! I have also dog-sited and house-sited before. 😊 •I can provide references! Please note the following: I am more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if i apply for it.
“Last week, I booked Eleni to watch my 10 year old son and we were both immediately taken by her warmth and friendliness. She arrived early and was enthusiastic about who my child is and all of the things he's interested in. Eleni was a perfect solution to a last minute child care on a friday night. We will be happy to book again in the future :)”

Hi! I’m Teonnie, a college student. I’m great with kids of all ages, especially school-age, and can help with homework, reading, and fun activities. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for kids in my family and with friends, and I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your family. CPR certification is planned, and I’d love to help!
“Teonnie was an amazing babysitter. She arrived early, was very accommodating, and extremely responsible. Jaxon felt comfortable with her right away and genuinely loved playing with her. She made him feel safe and happy, which in turn made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She was dependable and reliable, and I would absolutely recommend her to any family.”
