Hi! I’m Betsy. I’m a preschool teacher on the UWS and I have 2 children of my own (ages 10 and 12). My background is in theater and I love being silly, storytelling, and arts and crafts! I also love being outdoors and finding fun new adventures! I love animals and I have a Pomeranian named Rusty, who is diabetic. I’m comfortable caring for children and animals who may need special care.
Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a Brooklyn resident, NYU MFA student, and longtime educator and childcare provider. I spent the last five years running an esteemed fine and performing arts summer camp for children aged 7-17, and have nannied professionally for children ages 3-13. I have experience as a teacher and teaching assistant in NYC Public Schools and most specifically PS75, PS151, and Pace High School. I am looking for some part-time work while in school and would love to connect with you and your family! As my classes change each semester, right now it's hard for me to commit to a schedule past the next few months, but I'd love to be considered for date nights or regular morning or evening shifts! I have a wonderful spouse (who is a full-time K-8 teacher in Brooklyn!) and a corgi named Hoagie. I'm very comfortable with pets and I LOVE to cook! Most recently, I've been making homemade sourdough loaves. I hope to hear from you!
Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨

I have 4 years of experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to teens, as well as pets. I am also very skilled in cleaning, cooking, organization, and general proactive tidiness.

Regarding pet care, I am incredibly passionate about loving and caring for our pets who give us love unconditionally. I recently lost my childhood dog of 17 years to kidney disease, and know exactly what it feels like to want to give your pet the world. I will make sure to do everything in my power to give that love to your pet. Quick Facts: • Safety: CPR & First Aid Certified. • Logistics: I live near the L and G trains and am very comfortable navigating the city. • Specialties: Homework and schooling help, mentorship (in academics, leadership, and sports), activities (athletics, crafts, reading, walking, games), meal prepping, cleaning, laundry, proactive organization • Availability: Open for mornings Mon-Sat, all afternoons excluding Sat, all early mornings Mon-Fri, evenings excluding Fri and Sat I am passionate about spreading joy and compassion with all that I meet - adults, children, and pets alike - and most importantly, helping people.

My name is Jamora, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, caregiving has always been one of my greatest passions. I’ve worked in daycares and childcare settings since I was 16 years old, and throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. I’m CPR/AED certified, trained in anaphylaxis response, and have completed specialized training in infant care, special education, and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. What makes me a great caregiver is not just my experience, but my genuine love for helping others feel safe, supported, and valued. I’m known for my patience, nurturing personality, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and warmth to every environment I step into, whether I’m caring for kids, seniors, pets, or assisting with household tasks. I believe every person deserves care that is thoughtful and tailored to their needs, and I take pride in being that dependable, compassionate presence in their lives.
