Christel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Christel. I'm a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Over the past few years, I've gained hands-on experience helping care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children ranging from 7 months to 10 years old. From keeping little ones entertained with activities, helping with daily routines, and caring for them independently when needed, I always strive to create a safe and fun environment. I'm dependable, attentive, and love building positive relationships with both children and their families.

Tracy-Lee $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been in education for over 10 plus years and currently work at a middle school in Brooklyn. I also manage the after-school program, hence my availability only on weekends and holidays. CPR certified every 2 years, as this is a requirement of Department of Education. Parents, nothing surprises or scares me. I am not afraid of vomit or diarrhea nor a bug if your little one brings me one as a gift. Just dropped my baby off at college, so you can say I am looking for another baby to love and care for.
