Hi! My name is Diana, I’m 24 years old, and I’m bilingual. I currently work full-time as a Program Director for adults with disabilities, which has given me years of experience providing care, support, patience, and understanding to individuals with different needs. I have 2 years of experience caring for children and babies, including toddlers and children with disabilities. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, bedtime, or simply being an extra set of helping hands for busy parents, I always strive to provide the best care possible. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, trusting relationship with both you and your children!
Hi, I'm Sydney! I moved to NYC to be an actor and found myself working in several settings with children, including performing in the Bluey X CAMP experience downtown and acting as costume designer/childcare assistant for 3 shows with the Children's Acting Academy. I have several years of experience providing childcare for ages 0-13, and would love to get to know you and your little ones. Because of my background in theatre, I have all kinds of ideas on ways to have fun! I'm also happy to help around the house in any way you may need.
“Sydney was punctual, easy to communicate with and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again ”
Hi, My name is Victoria and I was born and raised in the UK relocating to CA in 1999 where I raised my beautiful daughter Alexandra. I have lived in NYC for the past 8 years. I have many years of experience taking care of children of all ages. I am responsible, punctual, kind and patient. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of children and will always provide a safe environment for your child.
“Victoria was very responsive and on time. She engaged with my son well and they played games together.”
Hi there! My name is Janett, and I’m a proud graduate of Lehman College with a degree in Recreational Therapy and a minor in Art. I bring creativity, compassion, and reliability into every role I take on. I provide child care, senior care, and household support and I truly love what I do. I’ve been caring for children since I was 19, from newborns to school aged kids. My experience includes school pick ups and drop offs, tutoring, arts and crafts, dancing, and creating fun, engaging activities that help kids learn and grow. Parents trust me because I’m responsible, patient, and always focused on making sure children feel safe and supported. I also have extensive experience caring for seniors. I was a caregiver for my grandmother and worked in several assisted living facilities and nursing homes, where I learned the importance of dignity, empathy, and reliability in senior care. On top of that, I can help with day to day household needs. I cook, clean, run errands, and am an expert at navigating the MTA. I’m known for being punctual, organized, and a strong problem solver. I’m also very pet friendly! Having lived with four dogs and a cat at once, I’m comfortable caring for animals alongside my other responsibilities. If you’re looking for someone dependable, warm, and versatile, I’d love to bring my skills and passion to support your family’s needs.
“Janett was great. She helped out in a pinch and my two kids enjoyed her and asked if she could sit for us again. ”
