Booked by 7 families in South Richmond Hill, NY

Hello! My name is Ana and I am offering child care and pet care. I love babysitting and have watched toddlers, kids, dogs, and cats (also can do other animals!). My responsibilities included keeping the kids entertained, helping them with their schoolwork, putting them into bed, cooking for them, and even picking them up from school. With dogs and cats - my responsibilities are taking the dogs out for a walk, keeping up the training routines, and at times keeping the dog company. For cats — I make sure they are feed and the litter box is cleaned (which is super important especially for cats), if the cat is playful - I enjoy playing with them. If not, I can sit there and enjoy each other’s company. Whichever flows their boats. I can sail around them. I dog trained for 3 years at Petco from 2016 - 2018 (I still practice my skills on my cat and other dogs I meet) I have worked with various dogs like Hound dogs, Poodles, Corgis, and the list can go on. Cats! I have one of my own and her name is Leche. She is the sweetest. I love taking care of pets and children. I love engaging with them and helping others with their little ones (animals and children). There’s a joy that comes with being an extra hand and being at service for others. I have not yet cared for Seniors but happy to be a caretaker. Hope to be your sitter, Ana :)

Hi! My name is Andrea and I would be happy to help you care for your children. I am 27 years old and a current university student at Baruch College studying business with a flexible schedule. My experience with children begins from 2[removed] working with a 14 month old, and two brothers ages 6 and 9 throughout the years. I have also worked as a Teacher's Assistant for after school religion classes, and tutored children from low-income groups. Working with your child or children would be a great opportunity for me. I would be able to provide my recent reference to further support my qualifications. Hope to hear from you!

Andrea helped watch my daughters (11 and 12), and they loved her. She’s calm, sweet, and communicative with them. They enjoy their time with her.

Booked by 5 families in South Richmond Hill, NY

Hi! I’m Tanha, and have been babysitting for most of my life. I grew up as one of the oldest, with tons of littles around at any given time, I still have little cousins under 5 years old to watch. I also have little nephews that I absolutely adore. Holding a college degree, I'm experienced in caring for children aged 0-11, and comfortable with up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and always approachable. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities, and reading together. I prioritize open communication with you, using your preferred method to discuss your child's day. I'm also comfortable following your household rules. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a part of your family's support system. I love cats and dogs and am comfortable being around them, I have 2 of my own sweet kitties. I am also very clean and tend to tidy up when I have downtime

Tanha was a great fit for us! She and my daughter hit it off instantly. She was pleasant and attentive to my daughter and helped her with her bedtime routine. They bonded over their love of animals. Would def book her for childcare help again.

Booked by 6 families in South Richmond Hill, NY

Hi! My name is Lois. I am nanny/babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of families and age ranges from infants to pre-teens. This has equipped me with a quick mind and adaptability for any situation. I love to combine my love of theater and knowledge to create engaging activities for kids that allow them to not only learn but expand their sense of self expression . I have some prior experience working with kids with on the spectrum, and I am CPR and First Aid Certified. Excited to meet you!

Our family was so lucky to find Lois! During a 6 month project Lois came in and provided my two children (6 and 9) with after school care. Lois is prompt, kind and efficient. She was flexible with my evolving schedule and able to accommodate us during the random days off during the school year. Lois is incredibly fun, energetic and full of fantastic imaginative ideas. Always ready to run in the sunshine with both kids at the park, she was equally adept at making a rainy day fun. She played with both my creative story loving younger child, and could effortlessly flip over to a fun competitive game of pokemon or chess with my older child. There was always music and laughter. They never wanted her to leave.
