Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

Hi- My name is Taisha and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter, as the oldest of my family I have been watching my siblings and cousins as well as newborns, infants and toddlers, since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included drop off and pick up/from school, crafts, tutoring, and teaching. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents I can cook, accompany them to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to dogs.

“Taisha is reliable, punctual, and professional. I was worried that my dad would not be comfortable having someone other than myself help him during the day, but he had the best things to say.”

Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

Currently a media professional, I’ve always loved caring for others. I grew up with the mindset that if you take care of your community, your community will take care of you. I worked at my family’s daycare center for 5 years while in high school and some throughout college. While in college a volunteered at an underserved after school program, where I established a library and secured grants to expand the program. Working with families and children, while helping them flourish has always been a passion.

“My dog is really shy and anxious, but bonded really well with Olivia. She sent photos and videos throughout to show me he was having the best time!”

Booked by 6 families in Woodhaven, NY

Hi! I am 21 years old and attend Oberlin College in Ohio where I'm studying psychology. I grew up in Brooklyn Heights and have lived here my whole life, so I am comfortable with public transportation, going to park, and other fun attractions for kids.When home on breaks, I live with my two parents, older brother, younger sister and dog. I have experience sitting for kids ages 1-9; this includes playing with them and getting them dinner together, bathing them and putting them in pjs, and reading books to put them to sleep. Sometimes I would bring my dog because one girl loved to play with him. I am allergic to dogs and cats, but I am able to work with families who have dogs that do not shed. In my free time I love to bake, paint, sew, play frisbee, and take my dog to the park. While my certification has lapsed, I have taken courses in CPR and first aid.

Booked by 2 families in Woodhaven, NY

Hi! I’m a college student in my junior year The New School in NYC studying Culture and Media Studies with a minor in Fashion Communications at Parsons. I’m responsible, friendly, patient, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with things like playtime, homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, errands, pet care, and general tidying when needed. I’m organized, attentive, and easygoing, while still being responsible and able to follow a family’s routines and instructions. I have a busy school and internship schedule during the week, so I’m especially interested in part-time, occasional, date-night, Friday, and weekend opportunities that I can build a consistent relationship with a family through. I’d love to connect with families looking for someone reliable, caring, and flexible to help make their lives a little easier!

“Artemis helped us with a last minute babysitter scramble and was so lovely to have. She was early and eager to know all the details of the girls routine. Our daughters, 10 and 7.5, had a great time with Artemis and are already asking when she will be back. Highly recommend! ”
