Hello! I am a NYC-based professional dancer with a lot of childcare experience and I am looking for a temporary babysitting job! I have cared for children ranging from 2 years-11 years old and I am CPR certified as well. I am very responsible and have a very energetic and fun personality. In my free time I love to be outside and I love reading! I have very flexible and open summer availability!
I have over thirty-five years taking care of children in New York City. I have worked with hundreds of children of all ages, but primarily under five years old.

Hi! My name is Lyudmila. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person with a lifetime of experience caring for children as a mother of two. I’m looking for part-time childcare work and can be especially helpful with school-age children. I can pick children up from school and bring them home, or handle both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up during the week. After school, I can prepare or warm up their meals, make sure they eat, help with homework, read books, play games, talk with them, and take them to the playground or for a walk. I’m happy to keep children company, keep them engaged, and make sure they are safe and comfortable until their parents come home. I’m patient, attentive, warm, and reliable. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children. I am also a fluent Russian speaker and would be happy to speak Russian with your child if you would like. I would be happy to become a dependable and caring person your family can count on. Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Людмила. Я заботливый, ответственный и надежный человек, у меня большой жизненный опыт общения и ухода за детьми — я мама двоих детей. Я ищу работу по уходу за детьми на неполный рабочий день и особенно хорошо могу помочь семьям с детьми школьного возраста. Могу забирать ребенка из школы и приводить домой, а также при необходимости отводить утром в школу и забирать после школы в течение недели. После школы я могу разогреть или приготовить ребенку еду, проследить, чтобы он поел, помочь с домашним заданием, почитать книжки, поиграть, поговорить с ребенком, погулять или сходить на площадку. Я могу спокойно и с вниманием заниматься ребенком до прихода родителей. Я терпеливая, внимательная, добрая и надежная. Я понимаю, как важно родителям иметь человека, которому они могут доверять своего ребенка. Я также свободно говорю по-русски и могу разговаривать с ребенком на русском языке, если родители этого хотят. Буду рада стать надежным и заботливым человеком, на которого ваша семья сможет рассчитывать.

“I've worked with Ashley and would definitely recommend her. She's dependable, communicative, and works well with children of all ages. She’s patient, kind, and hardworking, and she does a great job building positive relationships with both children and families. She also has a strong background in Montessori education and is a great resource for parents. Any family would be lucky to have her as a caregiver.”

"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!"
