Hi! My name is Cris I am from the Dominican Republic and I am based in Brooklyn. I have a BA in Anthropology + Social Practice. I have 4 years of experience in education: 2 years working in elementary after school programs as a creative writing teacher + 2 years as a full time middle school humanities teacher. Every summer for the last two years I have worked part time in a daycare, primarily caring for infants and toddlers. I currently work as an ELA teacher at an arts high school. I am passionate about community organization, art, literature, and learning. While enrolled in a research program in Costa Rica I worked in a small rural primary school as a teacher’s aid and English + Social Sciences instructor. I mostly worked with children ages 3-12 as well as children with special needs and disabilities. During this time I helped the school community organize fun and unique activities for the students and worked directly with parents to assist in their children's progress. Since then I have been part-time babysitting here in the states. My time working with children has taught me how to encourage, support, and provide a sense of safety and care. Overseeing both large and small classrooms has made me well equipped to handle and diffuse high stress situations with patience and caution. I would describe myself as a high energy, compassionate, patient sitter with a big heart. I enjoy teaching and reading to children, working on arts and crafts projects, and engaging their creativity. I am bi-lingual, I speak fluent English and Spanish. I am also happy to help with pet-care and domestic tasks such as laundry, light cleaning, errands, cooking meals, etc.

Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm currently a student at Hunter College. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience with children of different ages, from toddlers to older kids. I enjoy keeping them engaged through fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I'm comfortable with following routines, and making sure kids are safe and happy. I love animals and have experience caring for dogs, I can walk, feed, play, and give them lots of attention. I can also help around the house with light cleaning, laundry, errands, and organization. I'm responsible, dependable, and easy to get along with, and I always try to create a positive and supportive environment wherever I work.
“Melissa was wonderful. My daughter (4) loved playing with her and keeps asking her to come back. Highly recommend!”
Hi! My name is Hanna, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children and I hope to be an elementary school social worker one day. I’m currently a college student studying Forensic Psychology at John Jay College, and I’ve spent the past few years supporting kids in both classroom and program settings. I’ve worked one-on-one with first graders, led small group activities in after-school programs, and even helped coordinate summer activities for children with autism and learning differences. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a lot of patience, energy, and creativity to every job. I’ve also taken care of toddlers in the past and love helping little ones learn, play, and feel safe. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply keeping things calm and fun at home, I’m here to support your family however I can!
“Hanna babysat our little one at our Airbnb while we went to a play. Our kiddo had a lot of fun and she sent us regular updates too. My kiddo clearly had a good time and I was happy to have her help! ”
Hi! My name is Jasmine and I am offering child care services. I’m patient, trustworthy, reliable, caring, communicative, kind & energetic! Currently working in education and I have been working in schools and with children (toddlers and elementary to high school aged kids) for the past 11 years. Along with babysitting, I am able help out with homework, clean, cook and run any errands. I also grew up playing sports so if you’re kiddo needs any basketball lessons in particular, I would love to help! I am able to interact and engage with children by reading books, watching movies, going outdoors (parks & playgrounds, museums, libraries, or any other activity of your choice), playing games at home, and engaging in more educational activities as well. I require some type of video call before the start date to ensure safety on all ends. I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well. I have no allergies to pets and welcome all furry friends with open arms! I can assure that your children will be safe in my care. Thank you😊
“Jasmine cared for three of our children for three hours and handled three separate pickups smoothly. She was energetic, positive, and an excellent communicator. As a school psychologist, she made me feel confident that she would be capable of handling challenging behavior if it arose. She was a joy to have around, and I will definitely hire her again.”
