Hello! My name is Lana, and I am an experienced and reliable babysitter with over ten years of childcare experience. I genuinely care for children’s well-being — both physically and emotionally. Families would describe me as engaging, patient, and warm, and my goal is to create a fun and safe environment for children to thrive. I originally came to the United States as an au pair, which expanded my prior childcare experience and gave me valuable opportunities to work with children of different ages, including caring for multiple children at once. Beyond childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks, homework help, meal preparation, and pet care. I am also bilingual in English and Portuguese, which I love incorporating into my time with children when appropriate. Additionally, I have working comprehension of Spanish and am also beginning to learn American Sign Language. I enjoy incorporating creative play, reading, and outdoor activities into my time with kids, and I value building trusting relationships with both children and parents. As a junior at Columbia, I am currently looking for part-time positions. I am open to occasional opportunities, but I cannot accommodate full-time positions.

I have several years of childcare and child development experience through volunteer, leadership, and internship roles. As Head of the Junior Committee at The Child Development Centre, I helped support teaching, structured activities, and volunteer training for children with special education needs. I also completed a Developmental Psychology Internship there, where I observed clinical psychologists, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, and SEN teachers, and helped with child assessment materials. Additionally, I have volunteered at Saviour Lutheran School, assisting with English instruction and educational activities for underprivileged children with developmental and cognitive disabilities. These experiences have made me patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting children with different learning styles and needs.

Hello all! My name is Oumou (oo-moo-) I have 4 years of experience caring for infants through school age children. I've worked with twin infants, spent time in the infant room at a daycare, and cared for children with special needs. I'm CPR certified and comfortable handling daily routines like feeding schedules, nap times, diaper changes, and meal prep. I always make it a priority to keep parents updated on how their child's day is going. I also have experience with Montessori curriculum. I'm happy to provide references upon request.

Hi! My name is Olivia and I’m currently a sophomore at Pace University. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting, and have been doing so since the age of 14. I grew up watching my younger cousin, as well; so I have experience with children in all growth stages, ranging from toddler to preteen. My responsibilities in the past have included, getting to and from school safely, meal prep, crafts and playtime, outdoor activities, baking, and so much more! I have also been working part time in a nursing home, so I am very comfortable with senior care as well! Additionally, I’d love to run any errands you may have, cook, clean, etc. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I’m also more than willing to watch your furry friends as well.

I’m a nursing student with a strong sense of care and responsibility. I’ve helped raise my younger siblings and nephews, and I’ve also cared for children with autism. Families can count on me to be patient, inclusive, and reliable while creating a safe, supportive space for every child. *AHA CPR Certification*
