Phyllis $30 per hour for 1 child

I love working with children, seniors, infants and animals and have been involved in service and care work for over 50 years. Though I am a senior myself, I am full of energy and enthusiasm. My passion for teaching, children and 🎶 music lead me to get involved with the Music Together program. I also have training in infant & adult CPR and have teaching certifications in Music Together and Trauma- Informed Yoga & Mindfulness. I am a 500 hour Registered Yoga Therapist and have taught Family Yoga. Senior Yoga & PreNatal Yoga for the past 25 years @ the local Prospect Park YMCA up until COVID. My work experience has given me the opportunity of working @ Berkeley Carroll School as well as public schools in the NYC metropolitan area. The truth is I am such a “wannabe” grandma and love being around, babies, children and animals. I look forward to getting to know your unique children and family …. pets included ! Please feel free to reach out to me.

Meeka $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in South Richmond Hill, NY

Hi, I’m Meeka! I just moved to new york and I’m currently in college and will be graduating this December with a degree in Finance. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and for the past 4 years I’ve gained nannying experience with children from infancy through age 12. I’ve also handled a few overnight stays, so I’m comfortable with longer care when needed. I love building fun, safe, and nurturing environments for kids, and I’m patient and adaptable to each child’s needs. Alongside childcare, I’m also great with pets—I have two dogs of my own and absolutely love cats, so furry family members are always a bonus for me! I look forward to supporting families with reliable care, whether it’s for a few hours or something more regular.
