8 things every child needs to hear: 1. I love you no matter what. 2. I am proud of you. 3. I'm sorry. 4. I forgive you. 5. I am listening to you. 6. This is your responsibility. 7. You can do it! 8. I understand you. Hi! My name is Lizzy. I have worked as a Special Education Aide in the classroom at Palo Alto Unified School District, a Teacher's Assistant at Bridge the Gap College Prep, and a summer school Math teacher in the Marin City School District. I also worked in the nursery at Redeemer Presbyterian. I studied Leadership and Management at NYU and I am looking to babysit once a weekend (recurring), either Saturday or Sunday, for around four hours (flexible). I would describe myself as empathetic, energetic, and creative. Hope to speak with you soon! :)
Hi, I’m Andri! I’ve lived in NYC for 9 years and have over 10 years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve worked with many private families throughout NYC and have experience with both daytime and evening care. I’m kind, caring, dependable, and energetic. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through outdoor activities, games, arts and crafts, reading, and age-appropriate activities. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and helping families keep their children’s routines organized. Childcare has been a big part of my life since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, communicate with, and feel comfortable having in their home. I’m currently looking for occasional, part-time and I’m happy to help with date nights, weekends, evenings, and other childcare needs.
Hi my name is Tamara, I am going to Mandl college to become a Surgical technologist. I work in a daycare for the past 4 years and have worked in UPK as a teachers assistant for 3 years. I love being outdoors, playing sports and I also enjoy reading books. I am CPR and first aid certified. Fully vaccinated and boosted as well.
“Tamara was the perfect help to our move! Her and her friend, Grace made our move so much better and I could not recommend them enough. They moved things into our 5th floor walk up with ease and handled our belongings so nicely. They also organized our uhaul so efficiently and we were so impressed! They were kind, understanding, and SO SO helpful. They were also early to the job both days! I recommend Tamara and Grace for anything you may need. They are the BEST!”

Hello there! I’m Monifa, but you can call me Em. Thank you for stopping by my profile to learn more. I am a veteran at child care hoping to meet and help more families on the app. I’m a creative, fun, flexible, resourceful and entertaining former school professional, hospitality and operational expert in Brooklyn with over 15 years of experience with babysitting, summer camp, daycare, elementary and secondary education as a youth mentor, academic advisor, exceptional learner advocate, international trip chaperone, teacher, school leadership administrator and parent-advocate partner. You name it, and I’ve probably done it ☺️. I enjoy creating fun, loving and learning opportunities for everyone —especially children. As a seasoned professional, I work with a range of ages: —> Infants —> Toddlers —> Children —> Teens —> Adults —> Seniors I enjoy learning about, taking care of and engaging people.

I am happy to help our furry friends with: —> Walking —> Feeding —> Sitting If you may need a house sitter, I can support w errands, and organizing. I would be happy to connect over call/FT to learn more about your family’s needs to ensure that you get the timely care that’s requested, as well as sharing more detail about my experience and history. As a native New Yorker, I do not yet have a driving license but I am working on getting one very soon. To fill that gap I can happily coordinate other means of transportation to ensure that there is no impact. Looking forward to connecting with you soon. Cheers!
