I am a college graduate, currently building a startup business and working side gigs in all my free time; such as pet/house sitting, babysitting and other tech remote work! and my goals include continuing my studies in marine biology, owning a house & building a family. Because of my love for animals and overall philosophy/morality of kindness & love first, I am cautious, attentive and above all have the utmost patience for kiddos. I love carrying for infants in their early learning stages and being there to encourage growth and learning. I’m very creative & ingenuitive so I am well rounded.

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.
