Hi! I’m Maddie, a 22 year old recent college graduate who just started working full time as a paralegal in Manhattan. I’m looking for some extra work with flexible scheduling and really miss my many previous jobs working with children, so I figured this would be the perfect fit!
I am a responsible, caring, and patient caregiver with professional experience working with young children. I currently work as a paraprofessional/teacher assistant with children ages 3–5. I support children with daily routines, learning activities, communication, play, and social skills, and I have experience working with children with autism. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe and caring environment. I also have a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Colombia.
I am a 19 year old dedicated college student pursuing a nursing career under pediatrics seeking to expand my work ethic with an understanding of children’s behavior and needs. I am an enthusiastic, caring, and organized individual looking to grow as a person and professional every day while prioritizing children. I am a young lady myself, but i prioritize the safety of children with softness and calmness and will forever care over any child like they are my own family.
Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and easygoing caregiver and family assistant. I graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Psychology, and I’ll be starting my Master’s in Social Work at NYU in the Fall of 2027, where I’m interested in working with children and families. For the past six years, I worked closely with one family and became a big part of their day-to-day life. I was very invested in their day-to-day life but as the needs of the family and my own goals have changed, I am looking to find part-time work until I start studying full time next year. Ultimately I hope to be a reliable resource for any family needing occasional/part-time help.
I am a substitute teacher with 21-plus years of experience, working with children, with ages ranging from infants to high school students. I enjoy arts and crafts and cooking.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
