Hello! My name is Megan. I have a Bachelor's in Musical Theatre with a Communication minor. I have a vast experience working with children--I have helped with many theatre camps and productions that cast children and have been in charge of watching/ entertaining/ organizing a large group. I have a more intimate experience nannying my (almost 2!) niece from the time she was about 3 months old. I love being around kids--I love stories and music (hence my major!) and I feel at ease around children and want to make them happier and learn as much as they can!

Hi, I’m a college student looking to help out a family who need a sitter. I would describe myself as athletic, as I like to stay active. I’m also creative and love doing art activities. To add on, I’m empathetic and also patient, especially when it comes to kids. I have a variety of experience from babysitting while in high-school, to working at the YMCA as a summer camp counselor these past three summers. I’ve worked with kids as young as 1 up to the age of 15.

Ashley is wonderful! She is very friendly, engaging, and caring. My 20-month-old daughter felt very at ease with her and had a great time together. Thank you Ashely!

Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm currently a student at Hunter College. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience with children of different ages, from toddlers to older kids. I enjoy keeping them engaged through fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I'm comfortable with following routines, and making sure kids are safe and happy. I love animals and have experience caring for dogs, I can walk, feed, play, and give them lots of attention. I can also help around the house with light cleaning, laundry, errands, and organization. I'm responsible, dependable, and easy to get along with, and I always try to create a positive and supportive environment wherever I work.

Melissa was wonderful. My daughter (4) loved playing with her and keeps asking her to come back. Highly recommend!
