Hennesy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently an Occupational Therapy (OT) student with a passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I worked in a school supporting children with special needs, which has given me valuable experience creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments while adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, dependable, and creative, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I love incorporating arts and crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate learning into the time we spend together. My background in OT has also strengthened my understanding of child development, sensory needs, and positive communication. Outside of work and school, I love art and animals, and I’m always happy to help with pet care if needed. I’m also comfortable assisting with light household tasks, such as tidying up after activities, preparing simple meals and snacks, and helping keep your home organized while caring for your children. My goal is to provide families with reliable, compassionate care while making sure children feel safe, supported, and have fun. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Booked by 1 family in New Rochelle, NY

Hi I'm Daché! I'm from the Bronx and attend at Lehman College. I offer child care and have limited availability while school is in session. What qualifies me as a great caregiver for children is that I have years of experience working in various settings (schools, camps, daycare programs) with children between the ages of 6mo-4 years. I also have personality traits that are congruent with providing great care like patience, compassion, attentiveness, and creativity. I am not currently certified in CPR but I am willing to redo it. I have also completed over 40 hours of trainings related to caring for children 0-5 years old and am happy to provide proof and references for past jobs. I am comfortable working with both dogs and cats in the home, and I can also perform light cleaning, run errands, meal prep for the child/children, etc.

Leysha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leysha, and I’m currently taking a gap year while pursuing opportunities in childcare. As the oldest sibling in a single-parent household, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for children, helping with everyday routines, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m comfortable preparing simple meals, helping with light household tasks, school pick-ups, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I also love animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and have a flexible schedule. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and provide reliable, caring support whenever needed!

Amber $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a working professional with a full-time role in analytics at a major book publisher, along with a strong background in both childcare and pet care. I grew up with a mom who was an in-home nanny, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. From a young age, I was around children of all ages, from newborns through middle school. For the past six years, I also worked as an art teacher before my recent move to the area, primarily working with kids ages 4–11. My experience also includes youth camp counseling, Girl Scouts, and tutoring, giving me a wide range of experience working with children in both educational and recreational settings. I am Adult and Pediatric CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross, and I take safety, responsibility, and creating a comfortable environment for kids very seriously. I also have extensive experience with pets. I grew up with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, from small terriers to Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’ve provided in-home pet care, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I love getting to know each pet’s individual routine and personality. Overall, I’m dependable, caring, and experienced, and I love being someone families can feel comfortable trusting with their children and pets.
