Michelle 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in South Ozone Park, NY

Hi! My name is Michelle, and I work remotely as a consultant Monday through Friday. In addition to my professional work, I’m offering reliable child care, senior care, pet care, and household services to families in need of extra help. I’ve been caring for children of all ages since I was 14, and I truly enjoy creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for them. I also volunteered at a preschool, where I loved helping the kids learn and grow through play and creative activities. Along with childcare, I have experience caring for seniors — especially my grandparents — and understand the importance of patience, kindness, and companionship. I’m responsible, caring, and easy to work with & I take pride in providing the kind of care that you can rely on. I’d be more than happy to chat over the phone or meet in person so you can get to know me better and feel completely comfortable :)

Kendall $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kendall and I’m 24 years old from Boston, Massachusetts. Before I began college, I was an overnight summer camp counselor for girls ages 7-15, as well as a swim instructor, lifeguard, and the Aquatic Safety Director for the camp’s waterfront. I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2023, and while completing my studies in English, I frequently babysat for professors and graduate students in the town of Hanover. More extensively, while lifeguarding on Martha’s Vineyard in the summer of 2020, I was a nanny for two, great kids—ages 1 and 5. I recently moved to New York after spending a year in Mammoth Lakes, California writing for the local newspaper. Right now, I am pursuing a career in journalism and creative writing. I love kids, and know the value of experiential learning, keeping active, and safety while we’re having fun!

Maddie $25 per hour for 1 child

A little bit about me— my name is Maddie and I am 24 years old living on the Upper East Side. I am a full-time data analyst for the National Hockey League. I’ve played sports my entire life and continued to play club lacrosse through college. When I’m not working or being active, I absolutely love cooking! I have over 10 years of experience with children of all ages and needs. I have cared for infants, middle schoolers, and volunteered at special needs camps and after school programs. Some of my responsibilities have included: cooking, running errands, house chores, homework, zoo trips, science experiences, and (my personal favorite) pillow forts. Also, I am very pet-friendly (my family just got a puppy named Robin). I’m looking forward to getting to know your family!
