Booked by 87 families in Elmont, NY

I'm a master's graduate with more than 15 years of childcare experience (including my extensive time caring for my teenage brother and sister since they were infants!). Originally from Phoenix, I've also lived and babysat in Los Angeles, and would love to share my experience with your family here in New York! I'm also happy to assist with household chores, cooking, animal care, and other services along with babysitting.

Kathryn was excellent with our infant son and super communicative with us! Will absolutely hire again!

A little about me: I am respectful, responsible, , punctual, outgoing, and passionate about my work taking care of kids. I take things seriously and maintain a positive attitude while always trying to do my best. I love taking care of kids and taking part in activities with them indoors and outdoors. I enjoy getting to know them through fun activities and making them feel special during the time we’re together. I’m very creative and active. I may even have more energy than your treasures! I’ll be willing to help you if you want to have a date in the evening or if you want to hang out on weekends as a couple or with friends. (CPR Certified) Contact me and you won’t regret it! I can’t wait!

Booked by 5 families in Elmont, NY

Hi! My name’s Guadalupe, and I’ve always had a natural talent for caring for others and creating calm, positive environments. I have several years of experience working with children—everything from school pick-ups and homework help to planning fun outings and bedtime routines. I’m patient, responsible, and very organized, which helps me stay on top of daily tasks while keeping kids happy and safe. I’ve also helped with light household duties like meal prep, laundry, and tidying up, and I’m comfortable around pets (I’ve cared for both dogs and cats). Families I’ve worked with describe me as reliable, warm, and communicative. I really enjoy building trusting relationships and becoming part of a family’s support system.

"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!"
