Hi! My name is Isabella and I'm a college student living in Brooklyn for the summer. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have volunteered at the Summer Fun Program and at the Children's Discovery Center in my hometown, working with kids from 3 years old to 12 years old. Most recently I have been a caregiver for infants to toddlers. My responsibilities have included bottle feeding, changing diapers, playing with the children, and putting them down for naps or nighttime routines. I am also open to working as a household assistant and can clean and run errands. My family currently has two dogs and I am happy to work with other families with dogs.
“Isabella was watching our 18 month toddler while we went out. Isabella communicated well about when she would arrive and how things were going. We would hire Isabella again in the future”

“Glenda babysat my children for 5 years since they were 3 months old. We admire her patience, reliability, and high standards of hygiene and safety. She is well organized and maintains structured daily routines for the children. She inspired her kids with art and crafts and outdoor play. During the challenging times of the pandemic, she showed a lot of flexibility in accommodating our schedules as well as our kids social emotional needs. We highly recommend Glenda. Being bilingual is a plus.”

"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!"
