I have over 6 years of childcare and 2 years of infant care experience. I have cared for children of various ages, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, strong communication skills, and a nurturing approach. I also have work experience with children of special needs and those on the spectrum. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am attentive, compassionate, and organized, with a natural ability to build trust and create a safe, positive environment. My experience includes supervising daily activities, homework help/tutoring, assisting with routines, meal preps, light household tasks relating to the child’s needs or any pet needs. I love animals and strongly believe that pets are a part of the family. In previous years I have helped with taking pets for walks, assisting with medical needs such as shots or giving medications with meals, as well as keeping them company while family members are traveling. I genuinely enjoy helping others and am eager to bring the same level of care, companionship, and dependability to any family that requires help.
Hello! My name is Elena, I am 63 years old, and I would love to become a caring and reliable part of your family’s support system. I bring 15 years of childcare experience along with the invaluable perspective of being a mother myself — I have raised three successful, well-mannered children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and warm-hearted. I create a safe and structured environment where children feel supported and motivated. I especially enjoy providing homework help, after-school care, and reliable school pick-up and drop-off. In addition to childcare, I can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping to help your household run smoothly. I am fluent in both English and Russian, and I love sharing cultural perspectives that broaden children’s horizons. I have a flexible schedule and am available for full-time, weekdays and weekends if needed. Parents can rely on me as a trustworthy, experienced caregiver who is dedicated to children’s happiness, safety, and growth.
“Я с огромным удовольствием рекомендую Елену как внимательного, надежного, грамотного и ответственного педагога и помощника. Она более 5 лет обучала нашего ребенка русскому языку, помогала выполнять школьные задания, объясняла математику, развивала логическое мышление и мелкую моторику, играла, сопровождала на кружки. Всегда пунктуальна, организованна и очень надежна. Мы полностью доверяли ей нашего ребенка — неоднократно даже оставляли её с ней, когда вылетали в другую страну. Благодаря Лене всё прошло спокойно, ребенок был под заботливым и внимательным присмотром. Очень благодарны за сотрудничество и с уверенностью рекомендуем ее другим семьям. С уважением, Жанна”
Hi! I’m a former teacher with nearly 20 years of experience working with kids and teens. I provide dependable, engaging care with a calm and patient approach. I’m great at keeping routines on track, helping with homework when needed, and creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m easy to communicate with and happy to help with light household tasks. I also have experience supporting seniors and understand the importance of patience and consistency.
Hi, my name is Genine, and I’m currently a senior majoring in education and psychology. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants and school-aged kids, for 2 years. I enjoy engaging in creative activities like crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, and even baking lessons! My experience also includes helping with homework and organizing fun, educational games. I’m certified in pediatric First Aid, CPR, and water safety, ensuring your family is in safe hands. I’m great with pets and offer walking, feeding, and playtime services. As a household assistant, I can cook, clean, run errands, and help keep things organized. Friendly, reliable, and flexible, I’m here to provide care tailored to your family’s unique needs!
Hi there! I’m a proud mother of two grown daughters and a loving grandmother to four wonderful grandchildren, ages 8 months to 5 years. Caring for little ones has always been a big part of my life — I regularly babysit my grand kids in the evenings and handle everything from story time to bedtime with ease and patience. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and secure. With years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers, I understand the importance of routines, gentle guidance, and dependable care. Whether it’s dinner, playtime, or bedtime, I’m comfortable managing multiple children and keeping things running smoothly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and family-oriented to look after your little ones as if they were my own, I’d love to help.
