Booked by 1 family in Little Neck, NY

Hi- My name is Mercedes. I have a Master Degree in Early Childhood. As a toddler teacher, I spend my days singing silly songs, reading animated storybooks, building block towers, and turning everyday moments into fun learning adventures. I’m very familiar with routines (and how important they are!), whether it’s snack time, clean-up time, or winding down for bed. My personality is warm, patient, and playful. I’m the kind of caregiver who will happily sit on the floor to play, love story time, and celebrate even the smallest accomplishments. At the same time, I’m calm, dependable, and confident when handling big feelings or tricky moments. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, planning engaging activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. Most importantly, I treat every child like they are my own.

“Mercedes was great! She was timely and responsive and everything is alive still! Would hire again. ”

Hana $30 per hour for 1 child

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.
