Hi – My name is Isatu, and I’m currently studying for the LSATs. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love working with children and have over 8 years of childcare experience, beginning with caring for my younger siblings and neighbors’ children. This early responsibility led me to volunteer at multiple afterschool programs and later work in both daycare and after-school care. I enjoy storytelling, outdoor activities, and creating a positive environment where kids can grow, feel supported, and be themselves. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, supervising routines, and helping children build confidence and independence. I also provide household assistance and can cook, clean, organize, and run errands with care and reliability.

Hi! My name is Amina, and I’m a reliable, patient babysitter with hands-on experience in daycare, kindergarten, and after-school programs here in Brooklyn. I’ve cared for children of different ages, helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, homework, and bedtime. I also have experience working with special needs children, including support with potty training and clothing changes, and I always prioritize patience and safety. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked as an after-school instructor for 5th graders at EXCEL Inc. and as a tutor in English, Russian, and math, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun, educational activities. I speak English, Russian, and Kazakh, and I’m comfortable working with families from diverse backgrounds. Parents describe me as calm, attentive, and trustworthy, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and cared for. I’d love to help your family ,whether for a date night, regular care, or extra support when needed.

"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!"
