Hello everyone, ********Thank you for considering me for a booking request. However, I must request that you refrain from submitting a booking until you have had the opportunity to communicate with me. As a substitute teacher, I am currently unable to accommodate short-notice bookings.********* In my free time, I enjoy nature walks with my family, baking, circuit-based crafts, solving puzzles and Sudoku, making silly songs with my kids, and reading. These activities allow me to keep kids entertained without screens. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in biology from Montclair State University. Plus, I’ve been teaching online for over five years, and I’ve also worked as a professional nanny and in daycare centers. I am delighted to provide childcare and nurturing for families. I can drive children to parks, museums, ice skating arenas, and sports practices at the YMCA, JCC, and various facilities. I am highly engaging with children of all ages, even when managing multiple children.
💕 Loving, Reliable & Trustworthy Childcare Hello! My name is Mileth, and I offer loving and reliable childcare services for babies and children from 1 month to 5 years old. I am a responsible, trustworthy, patient, and caring person, and I understand firsthand how important it is for parents to find someone they can completely trust with their children. I am also a mother, so I understand how much love, attention, patience, and care children need. As parents, we always want the best for our children, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for them. I truly enjoy being around children and caring for them. I can help with their daily routines, meals, naps, playtime, and age-appropriate activities, always following the parents’ instructions and preferences. 🍎 Meal preparation: I can prepare meals and snacks for children according to the parents’ instructions, preferences, and dietary needs. 🍼 Baby care: feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routine. 🎨 Activities: reading, creative activities, games, and age-appropriate play. 💗 My priority is to make sure every child feels safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they are in my care. 🇺🇸🇪🇸 I speak both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate easily with families in either language. If you are looking for someone reliable who will care for your child with love, patience, and dedication, I would be happy to meet you and learn more about your family’s needs.
“Very professional.”
Hi! I’m Zahar, a registered nurse based in Brooklyn with a background in childcare, school nursing, pediatric psychiatry, and elder care. I’m also pursuing my doctorate in psychiatric nursing. I bring patience, warmth, and a calm approach to caregiving. My experience has taught me how to support different personalities and needs, help children through big feelings, and stay attentive to their safety and well-being. I enjoy creating a comfortable environment where children feel heard and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime routines while following your family’s preferences. I also love cooking! Clear communication and respecting your household’s routines are important to me. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, and backup care around my nursing schedule. I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
