Booked by 1 family in Palisades Park, NJ

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.
