I am a thoughtful, calm, and adaptable individual with a genuine passion for working with young children. For two years, I worked at an Early Learning Center at a private school in NYC, with a focus on early childhood ages 2-5. My background also includes an internship at Headstart and experience at a pediatric dental office, providing me a well-rounded foundation in child-focused environments. I am currently pursuing my MSW at NYU with the goal of becoming an elementary school social worker. My key strengths include (as a native NYer!) are patience, communication, and creative problem solving. I am also a huge dog lover.

“I've worked with Ashley and would definitely recommend her. She's dependable, communicative, and works well with children of all ages. She’s patient, kind, and hardworking, and she does a great job building positive relationships with both children and families. She also has a strong background in Montessori education and is a great resource for parents. Any family would be lucky to have her as a caregiver.”

Regarding pet care, I am incredibly passionate about loving and caring for our pets who give us love unconditionally. I recently lost my childhood dog of 17 years to kidney disease, and know exactly what it feels like to want to give your pet the world.

Hi My name is Maisie, I'm 29 and a culinary school graduate. I hope you can look past my lack of reviews I've yet to book any jobs here, I'd be happy to provide personal references. I have a nephew who's nearly five and a niece who's nearly three. Since becoming an aunt I've spent quite a bit of time providing my sister with the extra help she's needed. Aside from the usual hands on auntie time, I moved in with my sister for the month after my niece was born to help out. Additionally, when she was 9 months old, I spent a week alone with her as I transitioned her from breast feeding to formula. I have experience bathing, feeding, and changing their diapers. I feel comfortable in the kitchen and can help with meals. I'm very health conscious, and can provide nutritious meals. I don't have a car of my own, however, I can drive. I'm also a huge lover of dogs and have some experience with dog sitting/walking. A little fun fact about me, I actually grew up in brooklyn. I was raised to love and appreciate all the beauty and culture this wonderful city has to offer. I'd love to help pass that on to your kids with walks around the city, museum visits, and park days.
Hi- I’m Michaela. I’m 29. I’ve been working with kids since I was 16, and over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with children and teens ages 3 to 19 in all kinds of settings. I’ve worked as a teacher, in early intervention, in elementary schools, and as a school social worker, including with autistic children. No matter the role, my focus has always been on creating a supportive and engaging environment where kids feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow. Right now, I’m pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at LIU because I want to deepen my understanding of child and family well-being. I do this work because I love it—helping kids thrive is incredibly important to me, and I bring patience, experience, and a genuine passion for working with children to everything I do.
