Breana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Breana, I’ve always loved being around kids and helping families. I’m patient, caring, and easygoing, and I try to make every day fun but still structured. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping a good routine, I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their parents are away. People usually describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and great with communication. I take pride in showing up on time and giving my full attention to the kids I’m caring for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I’d love to be someone your family can count on, whether it’s for regular help or last-minute care. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 16 families in Glen Oaks, NY

Hey Parents! My name is Arianny, I am 23 years old, born and raised in Brooklyn with strong Dominican roots. As the oldest of six siblings, caregiving became a natural responsibility early in my life and sparked my passion for working with children. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, leadership, and the importance of creating supportive, joyful spaces for young children to thrive. In my free time, I enjoy baking, a hobby that allows me to be creative and often becomes a fun, hands-on activity to share with kids. I am an accomplished childcare professional with over five years of comprehensive experience supporting the developmental, academic, and social-emotional needs of children ranging from infancy through school age. Currently, I serve as a paraprofessional and hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development — a discipline that underscores my enduring commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and curiosity in young learners. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I bring the added value of bilingual communication, enabling me to facilitate meaningful connections across diverse families and to integrate language enrichment into everyday learning experiences. My approach to childcare is guided by patience, intentionality, and a thorough understanding of developmental milestones. I am adept at cultivating safe, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating environments tailored to each child’s individual temperament and strengths. I am available for full time work, occasional babysitting, overnight assistance, as well as open weekend availability. Above all, I am committed to establishing collaborative, trusting partnerships with families to ensure that every child receives thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, and high-quality care. I welcome the opportunity to connect and to discuss how my expertise can best serve your family’s needs.

“Arianny is very kind and sweet, definately recommend her!”
