Hi, my name is Renée! I have national and international experience in childcare, teaching, and mentoring children to young adults. For each job, I’ve dedicated myself to the child’s well-being. I’m willing to work in any capacity, and I look forward to meeting you :)
Hi! I have a lot of previous work with caregiving. I am a certified nursing assistant and I am cpr certified. I am currently a student in the city and have babysat for a family on the upper east side. I also have nieces and nephews from the ages 10-2 so I have a lot of experience with kids of all ages. I grew up in a big family and I would love to help yours!
Hello! My name is Adeline, and I am a college student from Minnesota! I recently graduated high school in 2023, and I am in my second year of attending college in New York! Fun fact: I am a film student! I have 8 years of babysitting experience, and about 4 years of pet sitting experience. I have babysat several different families in Minnesota, with the kids ages ranging from 2 years to 13 years old. Apart from babysitting, I have also worked as student director for 7 youth musical productions! I have also pet sit for several different families in Minnesota, pets ages ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, both cats and dogs! I love doing karaoke, playing board games, going to parks, taking dogs for walks, exploring museums, and watching movies! Babysitting and dog sitting are the best because I can do all my favorite things while working! But, I am always open to learn new fun activities, games and hobbies your kids or pets might be interested in!
Hi, I’m Lillie, a college student here in the city! I am offering many services from pet care and childcare to cleaning and household tasks! I have previously worked multiple customer service jobs which have required communicating with people of all ages. One of these jobs was at a bakery where my responsibilities also included a lot of cleaning and organizing. I have younger cousins and neighbors who I have babysat from time to time, and have spent the past two summers caring for my elderly grandmother. This care (for either/and children and the elderly) has included reading and writing, word and board games, and cooking and cleaning. As far as pets go, I have had dogs, cats, and rabbits my whole life, as well as petsit for friends and family.
Hi, my name is Marae and I love working with kids!! I've been babysitting for about 5 years now and out of all my jobs, it's always been my favorite:) Being the daughter of an elementary school teacher I was raised with a deep appreciation for peace + love, and I love keeping that cycle going! I'm open to all aspects of care-taking for children (including any special needs for neurodivergent children), except driving and changing diapers. I am also open to house-care such as grocery shopping, laundry, tidying up, etc. I am currently in college, so I don't have my degree yet but I'm working on it!

"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
